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. :P

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

By the way what the heck does 'wolfwire' mean? The wire bit confuses me. Weirdwolf could be Strangewolf, Oddwolf, Eccentricwolf...

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!

a company in Kansas city, Missouri that does Graphic designs,
http://www.weirdwolf.net/WGD/index.html
haven't been around for a while but long enough to take the trademark, and the art kind of sucks if i am honest
Uhg that site, just... the graphics are fine I guess, but two typos on the homepage does not a professional impression encourage. And the caps-lock 'catagory' titles with a lower case letter at the start make it seem like they're sUDDENLY SHOUTING....


...Ahem, sorry :oops: . 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) :x .

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! :D

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!

Looks like a really fun set. And I'm glad they put Voyager Megatron in there for size comparison and show they're not actually hugely different in bot size. :)

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. :-x

Winged dude with the red visor and two dragon head hands is Dragonicus.
