Images of Voyager Nitro at Every Angle and More of Scorn from Transformers: The Last Knight

We have official images of the Argos exclusive Reveal The Shield Tiny Turbo Changer 3 pack which includes a Tiny Turbo Steelbane. Steelbane will not be released individually and while it is assumed that this 3 pack will be released in the US through Target, there has been no confirmation. So if anyone spots this set or any set featuring the same revealing gimmick in other countries, please let us know. One interesting new piece of news is that this set comes with not one, not two ... but 8 clear red plastic weapons. This is being sold in Argos for £10.99 and seems to be available for purchase right now.

You can see the official images below.

Nitro works pretty well as a body for Thunderwing

Also via Argos UK, it's starting to look a lot like Christmas - for some reason - with projections for a Transformers: The Last Knight toy making their list of top 12 toys for the next holiday season (based on a poll, so potentially sound reasoning. Maybe. Perhaps.)! In a surprising twist, it's the RC Sqweeks toy, too! Check out the full list and rationale below, and a video review of the toy here.

Popular on-screen toys are also set to feature, with appearances from Disney’s Cars 3 Lightning McQueen, PJ Masks Headquarter Playset, the Paw Patrol Sea Patroller alongside RC Sqweeks from Transformers: The Last Knight.

Argos polled more than 1,000 parents of children aged 16 and under about their plans for Christmas 2017. One in seven parents said they had already started buying presents for their children and almost a third are planning to buy gifts for their kids over the summer.

The retailer found that the most popular choice amongst parents this year is a blockbuster gift, with over half planning on purchasing a ‘gasp out loud’ present alongside a couple of stocking fillers.

Not bad I think. It's still a lot of junk underneath, but nothing particularly robot shaped like most Silverbolts.

Courtesy of our regular Weibo user 淘宝店变形金刚改造工厂 (tf factory), and via fellow Seibertronian Sammythekat, we have some very nice colour shots of the duocon by any other name from the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline: Leader class Dragonstorm! The two knights that make up the dragon mode are Stormreign and Dragonicus, of course, and they all have similar gold, grey, silver accents on the paintjob. Check them out below!

Damn that leader Dragonstorm is AWESOME!
I fear the price it will go in store, but I'll be willing to pay it. The thing is MAGNIFICENT!

Let's just hope it will not have some random quality issues like Steelbane or something...

Dragonstorm looks great but size and cost make him a maybe for me. Nitro is a definite yes.

I Guess Dragonstorm's colours are designed to complement the other dragons - but I hope they repaint it black or darker grey sometime.

Looking at all that sculpted detail on Dragonstorm, I kinda wanna get him to detail him up. Some inks through an airbrush on all that metal flesh detailing (like the wings and back) would really make him pop I think.

Found this at tfmizer hong kong discuss facebook page, an in-package image of nitro.

Trying to decide whether to buy Hot Rod now or hope he becomes cheaper. At present Kapow Toys have him at £29.99 which is very expensive for a Deluxe (and with no gun) even at TLK prices and I presume it's cos he's a store exclusive from the US? But I keep wondering if he's gonna be a store exclusive here and if so for which store and I would assume he'd be at normal £22.99 price sorta thing (with potential for dropping further in a sale). I really like the character and the toy but £30 for a deluxe seems a bit much for me.

Man, I was really hoping for a 12-figure combiner.

Ah well. A man can dream.

Outside of legends scale how is this realistically possible?

It would also make a heavy unstable Dragon as well that probably would collapse to the weight.

It COULD be done. I mean, it'd be huge and expensive, but it's possible. After all, for years we thought combiners were impossible and yet now here we are with myriad combiners, both official and unofficial.

Of course, a movie-accurate 12-figure Dragonstorm would be impossible as the CG models cheat to hell and back, but something that takes the base concept (twelve Knights that combine into a three-headed dragon) and takes a few liberties with the design to get a good-looking, stable dragon could be done, though it'd require 3P/MP level budget to work. If you skipped the individuals having their own alt modes (which is how the movie did it anyway) it'd be even easier.

Topic: I kinda want to scoop up Steelbane and Skullitron (who will be getting the floor polish treatment for their poor joints) and a bunch of miscellaneous dragon/beast Transformers, like the Beast Hunters Predacons, do a little bit of customizing here and there, and have my very own twelve Knights of Cybertron. Not with the intention of being movie accurate (because the movie kinda sucked and the Knights didn't really do anything) but because the concept of twelve Transformer counterparts to the Knights of the Round Table is awesome in the extreme and I want to do the concept justice.

I'm with you all the way! I've just recently ordered a couple of Prime predacons and will be doing the same. I'll also be using the AOE Dinobots molds seeing as they fit the Knight's design well enough and will require minimal modification to fit the look. And the new Voyager Scorn could be a great place holder for that epic looking red knight from the film.

Bringing the weekend to the close for a number of people (it's Monday morning already for many others), we have some more images of the Transformers: The Last Knight leader class Dragonstorm figure, showing how Stormreign and Dragonicus might be combining - and it's less ladder magic than we might have thought. Brazilian site Hobby Brinquedos brings the three images below, check them out!

Ah Hasbro continues the tradition of having the people they hire to take photos having no idea how to transform a figure properly.

I'd comment on it, but nothing tops crocodile head accessory.

that dragonicus can't even be considered an attempt. They didn't even bother to separate the 2. They just pop the robot head out, stand it, and call it a day.
On the bright side, thanks to that, we now have a good look on dragonstorm's bottom side, and gets the idea on how he combine.
