Asda in the UK has put up some new listings on their webpage for the Transformers The Last Knight Autobots Unite Flip and Change Bumblebee and Hot Rod! These two are Wal-Mart exclusives here in the states, but since Wal-mart is Asda's parent company, it makes sense that they would see an overseas release through them.
While we have the online listings, we don't have any sightings at a physical Asda store. So if you live in the UK and find either Hot Rod or Bumblebee, please let us know!

Out of the three Asda's I've visited in past few months I've not seen any TLK toys at all.
I have the Lockdown and Drift versions of these from AoE I found at charity shops.

Hot Rod has to be the best looking flip and change toy I've ever seen. Not that that's saying much, but...

Our very own ScottyP has let us know that the Transformers The Last Knight All Spark Tech Standard figures have hit US retail! This assortment, consisting of Drift, Hound, and Barricade, and were found at the Cary, NC Target for $14.99! All three of these bots are compatible with the All Spark cubes that come in the Starter pack we reported on a while ago. Check out the photographic proof below!
If you find any new toys out at retail anywhere in the world, please let us know in the sightings section!

...Ahem, sorry
. Back on topic, I just want to point out (again?) how brilliant Voyager Hound is. I wouldn't call him perfect by any stretch and his transformation is fiddly to the point of frustration the first time you do it, but he's such a better representation of the character than the AoE Voyager. It's just the right amount of chunk on this one IMO, and he feels characterful and really unique among other Transformers, without losing all ability to appear intimidating and be taken seriously - it's a fine line with his character design.
Even the green doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would; seeing him in-person on the store shelf I still hated the color, but once I had him in action I didn't have a problem with it at all. Honestly the only thing I find myself missing is the one or two Red Cross tampos. They just added a tiny bit of color variety which is somewhat needed, especially in his robot mode. (A tiny Autobot Reprolabel added to his shoulder - it wouldn't stick on his helmet where the actual Red Cross logo would have gone 'cause of the curvature - actually does a lot to fill that gap.) I'm sure Reprolabels will do a specific set for Hound eventually too, so I may have to think about getting that, but he's still pretty good even without any extra deco work.
All in all, a fantastic figure IMO and while I may be somewhat biased (Hound is my favorite Movie character after all), I'd strongly recommend picking him up after - or alongside - Megatron if you can spare the funds. I haven't had any experience with Wave 3 Voyagers, or any Deluxes past Wave 1, or any Leaders at all... uh, so this probably doesn't count for much... but out of what I have experienced, he's absolutely my second-favorite figure from this line so far (and a close second at that)

Been trying to make up my mind for ages which version of him to get. Never saw the AoE version on shelves here. And so far haven't seen the TLK version either though I can get it from Kapow or another online retailer when I choose to I suppose.

Admittedly I've never had the AoE Voyager either - so many things about it never appealed to me, not least those weird wibbly rubber forearms and total lack of paunch. But just on appearance alone I'd strongly recommend TLK Hound; if you're into the character, he's a plenty great toy however you slice it!

Aw I like the look of those wibbly arms. I do prefer the vehicle mode of the AoE vehicle. Just looks more solid and 'badass' to me. The TLK vehicle looks a bit mundane. At least when it hasn't got the cool rocket launcher thing on the back. And the feet look a bit odd and flat. Oh I dunno. It's hard to choose when just going by pics. I wanna feel them in hand and play with them both for a bit and see which I prefer.

We've been sent in-hand images of the highly-anticipated leader class figure from Transformers: The Last Knight, featuring the first duocon under any other name: Dragonstorm, with Stormreign and Dragonicus! Check out the individual knight modes for the two parts of the dragon alt-mode character from the movie, and let us know what you think below!

The paintjob on the dragon heads looks so ugly. Nothing like in the official product images. Reminds me of maccaronis with cheese. Looks like they just coated them with hot cheese.

Maybe it's due to the lower price point, or the lack of being part of the "Premier Edition" line but the legion class within the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline is never part of reveals with official images from Hasbro. So now, months after these have been found in Asia, we finally have official stock images of both Legion Dragonstorm and Hound, the two final non exclusive legion class toys from the line, in both their modes and packaging. These images were found on Amazon.ca. If you wish to see a review of these toys, you can click here.

For the needs of a tiny Squeek, there's still the blindbag version. I think it even work for the deluxe scale.
Also, I want that Legion Hound. So adorable! Let's hope my local stores step up their games and get some new stuff for once.

After Canada, and everywhere else in the world apparently, we now have a US sighting for Transformers: The Last Knight's Infernocus with Quintessa - courtesy of Seibertronian Bumblebee21 and the Toys'R'Us store at Millenia Mall in Orlando, Florida! The set is an exclusive to the store, part of the Mission to Cybertron sub-line, but at least we know it's out there now.
If you come across this or any other new figure, make sure to use the Sightings Database to help out fellow fans on their hunt!

The official dragons look like some cheapo, unpainted test-shot or KO. I think I'll wait for a much better, oversized KO by Wei Jiang to come out. After their TLK Megatron OSKO, and their recent "Nemsis/Black Dinobots", I am SURE they will release the dragons in a bigger size, with die-cast and probably in red, black and other smexy recolours.

Trust me, Italy has even worse distribution, given that Hasbro Europe (different from Hasbro UK because the UK are a bunch of self-important egocentrics) doesn't acknowledge that we exist as a country in the general blueprint, and forget that TRU does not exist in Italy.

I'm with you on that one. Beside, It's been confirmed that leader class TLK toys cost 75$CAN plus taxes!
To compare, leaders at TrU were always 60$CAN, including Titan Return and those Titan Return leaders are still 55$CAN at Walmart. So, for 75$CAN, I don't think I'll have my money's worth.
I'll wait and see for the Weijiang option as well.

Voyager Nitro is hands down the best movie toy in awhile. Love the headmaster slot and working cockpit

Depends on what you want from your megs...
Voyager is intuitive, and everything is in better proportion (especially the cannon). The jet mode is great as well, it has a satisfying transformation, and the poseability is better than the leader (double jointed neck where the leader has none, and the cannon won't weigh the arm down or throw off it's center of gravity as it is massive) plus, he scales better with the other decepticons too.
The leader is bigger, and more kibble free than the voyager, but he only has a neck swivel, and his face is kind of malformed and hideous, and you are either stuck with gorilla-arm syndrome, or wrist cavities that look like you could go spelunking in them. On the other hand, his jet mode is splendid and massive and makes for a great display piece with the fire add-ons, his automorphing face is pretty neat, and his sword is gorgeous. But, his cannon is hilariously miss-proportioned, and it is a massive chunk of dense kibble that's slung onto his arm and might interfere with his poseability.
Overall, if you can find the voyager, I'd say go for that one, if you're okay with (or don't see) the shortcomings of the leader, get that one; hope this helps

Well, that's nasty.
It's now confirmed that I'll wait for the Weijiang version.
(By the way, just quote me to see how to embed YouTube)

Thanks. I think I watched all the review videos for both figures and you pretty much summed it up. I'm leaning toward the voyager but dang that leader jet figure looks amazing.

I think the voyager is the best option simply because only the voyager class is a constant among ALL the Movie lines. I make for a very awesome display.
Still, appart space an money, nothing stop you from getting both leader and voyager TLK Megs. Both are significantly different enough to be worth it.
I may buy a Leader myself, but only if it's on sale. No way I'm gonna pay 86.25$CAN for this.

The upcoming Transformers The Last Knight Leader Class Dragonstorm is one of the figures people are most looking forward to in the last waves of the TLK toyline, and we now have a couple of videos that give a better look at the figure. One of them is an Asian-language full video review that shows off the packaging, the dragon mode, and the individual robots, and it tops off at just under an hour long.
The other video comes to us via YouTube channel Pancrazi,
and through a tip from Seibertronian Kotori_Sonoda. It's an English video detailing a major flaw in some of the Dragonstorm toys. It's unknown if it affects all figures, but it is definitely something to look out for when considering purchasing the Dragon duo-con. Check out both videos below!

Um, he didn't cut the tie holding the head in place. I don't have the toy in hand yet, so I could be wrong, but i'm going to assume that's why it broke.

First the Steelbane/Skullitron moulds floppiness and now this guy's fragile neck joints? What is it with Hasbro and faulty dragonforemrs recently?
