Thanks to the Planet Iacon Facebook page, we have some new images of the upcoming Leader class Calibur Optimus Prime and Megatron set to come out as part of The Last Knight's toyline! These new images show off Prime and how is backpack now comes off and transforms into a shield, much like Striker Optimus Prime did with his Stealth Force gear. Also shown off is how Prime comes with his standard battle shield/blaster, this time done up in bright gold. The figure is also set to come with an ax. Megatron also shows up, and looks very similar to his Hasbro counterpart. Check out the images and let us know what you think!

EDIT: Updated with more images including Calibur Optimus Prime packaging.

He looks a bit more... Gundam-y.

Much spikier yet defined in a way that looks much more Anime-esque than the extremely realistic approach of the movies.

Is this part of the Takara line or part of Hasbro Premier Edition?

The gold-colored shield, named "Gold Vector Shield", is a campaign item, rather than a standard accessory to the Optimus figure.

Pre-order for Prime was up at AmiAmi: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail ... 3&page=top

But in less than an hour the pre-orders closed. They could open back up so keep an eye on that. It is listed as "limited", I'm not sure if that means they only got a small quantity or if that means it includes the shield (AmiAmi does sometimes get campaign items).

Great looking figure, but I can't squeeze in any more July pre-orders.

Optimus is now up on HLJ: http://hlj.com/product/tkt89150

Looks like the "limited" refers to the extra sword.

After the recent posts from Tokyo Toy Show, showing the Takara Tomy version of Transformers: The Last Knight (King) figures - reported here - we also have some official stock photography for the two exclusives Calibur Optimus Prime and Voyager Megatron!

Respectively from Amazon.co.jp and Toys'R'Us Japan, the images have been mirrored below, and also include a second Amazon listing for Calibur Optimus' Limited Edition (with an added sword) - check them out.

In addition to the images we newsed the other day, from Tokyo Toy Show, giving us a look at Takara Tomy's Transformers: The Last Knight toy line - aka TLK - we also have some images of the Voyagers and deluxes courtesy of Alfes2010, featuring Sqweeks, Hound, Drift, and more! Check them out below.

Also included is a quick GIF showing off Leader Megatron's battle mask faceplate gimmick. It's nifty, if it doesn't give you nightmares!

So what is the means of offering for the gold shield. ?

I don't own the 1st edition Prime - but I do wonder if they'd have been better served to include the other deco of the shield as a promo item with it's expended shield mode.

Or even make a brand new mould of it in it's folded up arm cover mode (where it's just a panel that sits on his arm with a circle on it and the gun barrels retracted and the force shield element not deployed.

It is a bit of an oversight to not offer the 3rd form of the shield.

Though doesn't it also have a "Ground mode" where he can take it off and shove it in the ground too ?

That Megatron face mask gimmick is rather spiffy actually. I like it.

Is it me or does Takara Sqweeks look more rusty than Hasbro Sqweeks?

Courtesy of yours truly, we have some Japanese sightings for Takara Tomy's edition of the Transformers: The Last Knight, found in Gobo's Joshin store (with the movie only hitting in August)! The wave is the first, with Deluxes (20 USD) and Voyagers (32 USD), and One-Steps (8 USD) on display, to the backdrop of an animated commercial for the latter figures. Also, the toys are indeed the same, with the TLK sticker over the Hasbro packaging logos.

Remember: if you come across a sighting for these or any other toys, make sure to mark them up in our Sightings database to help out other fans!
