Thanks to podcast superstar, Razorclaw, we now know of some beautiful new packaging found on the Snakas Blog. These are all the upcoming Legion Walmart exclusives from Transformers: The Last Knight. You can see the Autobots Unite logo on the boxes. One super cool news though is that the blog post says the Voyager Optimus toy is a " targeted exclusive", which tells me we finally know which toy will be exclusive to Target. There are three Legion Class 2 packs: Bumblebee & Hot Rod (in a different deco to the individual legion), Optimus Prime & Ravenspar, Megatron & Berserker.

Why not repaint some of the excellent DOTM Cyberverses I wonder?
Anyway, that Legion Hot-Rod is a must have for me.

Right? Honestly his color scheme and weird face make me really excited for the legion and even the deluxe.

Agreed. Not only that, but if they had to make up a jet mode for his toy, he probably doesn't transform in the movie.

btw is that the actual jet mode of the toy of Nitro
coz if it were....then that's pretty cool but i'd rather have Nitro as Leader Class or even wait til Wei Jiang does him(+ Megs)

Don't bother, it will probably suck.

I didn't realise the Voyager and Leader versions were so different in transformation.
This is the back of my voyager Megs
No wings. Because they're wrapped around the lower legs so well you barely notice them at all. The nose cone of the jet is folded back at the top with the arm cannon being completely seperate from it and integrated into the back of the jet in alt mode. Also flight stand port!
Can store weapon when not in use.
Front view cos he's so nice.
Side view showing the backpack here barely sticks out either and he's overall a really tidy figure especially for a jet-former which are commonly very kibbly usually due to wings.

In regards to Optimus Prime, what versions are actually new molds in the TLK line?

Wave 1 Voyager.

When I bought my TLK Optimus Prime voyager, one of the leg joints was stuck. It wouldn't go sideways. I contemplated returning it before I got my hobby nippers and used it to poke around the joint, finally making it move again.
Anyone else got a similar case or I just had a isolated one?
Also, are they trying to pass off the red bits in Ravenspar as the eyes?

If you see any cool new figures are popping up at stores near you, use the sightings section to keep everyone posted!

The voyager is very worth owning IMO.
There is also the Turbo Changer with the mask gimmick. the toy is great but it have NO paint for the bot mode. I FIXED THAT.

Minor flaws aside (no wrists, and could use better knee articulation), yeah, i agree. It's a great toy, and also the first toy we have of this design in the voyager scale.

Only the Voyager Optimus mold is truly new for The last Knight when it comes to Optimus toys.

The one-step turbo changer is not a completely new mold, along that Bee and Grimlock?

So Walmart has "Autobots Unite" and Toys 'R Us has "Mission to Cybertron", correct? Kinda sad that Hot Rod is a retool of Lockdown in almost all incarnations and mostly exclusive to Walmart. He's the Stinger of TLK

Did you say mostly because there is that non exclusive Tiny Turbo changer?
And yeah, he is totally the Stinger (which was also a BB inspired bot) but at least we are getting a deluxe here. And plus, the legion is not lockdown but one of the good DOTM legion molds Kanrabat raves about.

I'll have to disagree, I checked it and no details match. The transformation is the same aside from the arms, but as far as I can see, it's all-new.

I think so too. It's not because the transformation is the same that it's the same mold.

I asked this back in page 119, but was not really satisfied with that answer.
Looking over both molds it looks like the transformation is very very similar, but everything else is different.
If it is a retool, its so extensive, it may as well just be a new mold.

I'm sure there are a ton more. I'm just going from memory.
I'm 100% sure that TLK Legion Hot Rod is a new mold without even having it in hand. I do however have Road Buster in my hand right now and nothing about him matches Hot Rod. Except, his transformation.
Posted by Jelze Bunnycat on June 3rd, 2017 @ 4:54pm CDT
Turns out changing the car shell on the simple toys isn't necessary as the Deluxe Lockdown is the only licensed toy of that character, the rest is unlicensed approximations. How about that.

Assuming the box is not lying, yes, he's the only one without a monster mode, just robot and torso:

that...feels strangely incomplete, for some reason. The fact that the torso bot has no alt mode even tough all his limb bots does makes it feels like he is the only odd one from the team.

Everybody is talking as if there is a clear definition of what counts as a retool. As far as I know, its not clear. If we take the Hasbro definition of changing the actual physical mold, then most of what you guys consider to be a retool isnt. For instance, PMOP uses new molded parts as well as old magnus parts. They didnt go to the mold and actually change anything, they just made a new one. So its more that PMOP and Ultra Magnus share some parts. But some call it a retool. Or more easily, those new heads we see on redecos (like T30 Dreadwing and Megatron). If the head isnt based on the previous head, then it a new mold and thus nothing was technically retooled.
For me, I look at CAD alterations based on previous designs. It's changing the tooling at the design level and it counts as a retool for me. Just like I consider these guys below retools since they share the same base CAD design built for the transformation (and one came well after the other so we know what is based on what) even though they dont share any parts. I never felt the sharing of parts was essential for a retool, especially since the idea of a retool is that you change a part for it to be different than what it was before.
So by my personal definition, the guys above are retools even though they don't share any parts.
