Optimus Prime Dual Model Kit for Transformers: The Last Knight

They'd are nice model kits I have bumblebee and Optimus dark of the moon kits if this one is anything like past previous transformers kits I will not buy some pieces on prime and bumblebee fall of easily if you touch with it feather and pain to put them back on

I am trying to figure out why we need a Voyager Scorn

Loved Dinobots as a kid, never got them, so when AOE came out I got them all...well all the colorful Power Ranger-like ones anyways, none of the fancy G1 or movie inspired repaints.

Of course when I saw the movie I was a tad conflicted on why there were so many deluxe sized ones... Besides Grimlock ( I went Leader versus Voyager on that one), the only other voyager-sized one we got wasn't even in the movie

Before anyone bashes me for saying this...marketing, tooling, etc, etc... They're freaking Dinobots, so make them all Leader-sized, but make them Deluxe or Voyager level complexity. Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters upscaled some of their Legends to Deluxe size, I say upscale the Deluxe to Leader size.

What kid or collector wouldn't want a foot tall Dinobot??

That's just me...So Voyager Scorn...meh.

I agree with this but grimlock is bigger than the others so him being leader and the others voyager makes sense. Scales for the movie toys have been weird since ROTF. I do like the idea of upscaling the deluxe though that's a solid idea. In saying that the new mould scorn is much better than the deluxe especially that Dino mode. I'm curious what warranted him getting a bigger toy. Perhaps he's the red knight we see with merlin and he'll play a big part in the last knight.

Someone on my whatsapp group just shared these. This seems to be a new leader class optimus prime, which basically a retooled AOE version where his backpack can come off and transform into his shield.


dunno the source of these pics tho.

So, TLK-15 Calibur Optimus Prime? I can dig it

Cool that's based on the Armor Knight retool rather than the standard AoE release isn't it? Why they didn't do that for the TLK Leader release? Might have made the price increase feel a bit more justified.

this one seems to be takara release. So chance are, takara skipped that shadow spark version and goes with this, while hasbro sticks with shadow spark and not releasing this version for US market.

Shadow Spark isn't being released in the U.S. market either. It's a Hasbro Asia exclusive.

There's probably some decent upscaled KO's

Thats right, the only leader prime the US is getting is this one:



Since this is a Takara product, I have newsed it in the appropriate toyline thread

Dotm had stickers and AOE had those crazy decals. Please go back to stickers. Decals were horrible.

Stickers and decals are the same thing? I don't think either line had those.

ok, you lost me there. As far as i know, both aoe and dotm has paints, no stickers or decals.

I'm gonna break down and get optimus tomorrow, i can tell

In a new turn for the books, we have UK first sighting of a main line Transformers figures, from the The Last Knight toyline - and it's none other than Leader class Megatron himself! Courtesy of TFW2005 user timelord10, the figure is reported to have been seen in Staffordshire's Toymaster, for £54.99 ($70 USD). Check it out below, along with some size comparisons and in-hand images!

Remember to use the Sightings Database to help out fellow collectors, and happy hunting - wherever you are in the world.

My local Toymaster in Staffordshire had him on the shelves at the weekend, along with wave-mate Leader Prime. In past experience this store gets stuff in 2-3 weeks ahead of other chain retailers (I bought Titans Return Galvatron last summer and didn't see him in Toys'R'Us for another month).

So I watched Baltmatrix's review of steelbane, and damn, it's terrible. A shame too, as it was one of the only deluxes that I was actually looking forward too. They made zero effort to hide any of the robot kibble, and it's a flimsy, poorly painted, loose jointed mess.

You'd think, since these movies make billions of dollars, they would try and make a decent toyline to go along with it, but no. We have an extremely small, low quality line that fails on simple things such as QC. (before some triggered fangirl attacks me for saying the line isn't good, I actually do like some portions, namely squeaks and the new voyagers, but that's undermined by the poor quality of the rest of the line for me)

Spiffy, but also looks a bit weirder than the Toy Fair images when it was shown off there. Still... I'll reserve judgement for when I get it in hand. Wondering when the ETA on the Voyager Megatron and Hound though with this news in mind. I know the Press Release said to expect the leaders in Fall while the Voyagers in the summer. I know last time with AoE I found Galvatron in July/August versus the expected June at TRU here in Ohio.

And if you think the quality is bad on TFs you should really look at the lackluster offerings made by Hasbro for the Jurassic World series, they totally stink and look dollar store cheap. The stuff they put into their own properties is by far better than the stuff that isn't in their specific creative property.

That Megatron does look gorgeous. I'm still gonna wait for the Voyager which I hope should be appearing soon. Bloody loving this line. Still tinkering with Sqweeks and Barricade on my desk here and still keenly waiting for reprolabels for Voyager Prime's flames.

This looks really good.

I've been a bit wary of the toys after pretty much the entire AOE and some of the DOTM lines, but this looks really good. It actually makes me like the design of Megatron in the film, too. Maybe it's the Fusion Cannon on his arm and the sick sword, but I dunno.

Umm... the article sounds like that Megatron is the first last knight toy found in the UK. It's the first leader class, I believe, but deluxe and voyager have been out a while. Just nitpicking. lol.


I used some clubpoints and picked up Prime for 'normal' voyager price. He's a really nice figure, well worth having. Knees don't have a lot of bend in them but overall, he's a good solid figure with a satisfying transformation.


Tried to do a headswap with an Evasion Prime to give him his mouth face, but the balljoints are different sizes.
