Posted by Bronzewolf Aug 10, 2017 at 10:35pm CDT 23,726 views
We saw him listed on Asda's website in the UK, we saw his wave mate Bumblebee in stores, and now we finally have a US retail sighting for the Transformers The Last Knight flip and change Hot Rod! The toy, coming from Seibertronian cdavid3, was found in a California Wal-Mart for a retail price of $19.87.
The figure is a redeco and remold of the Age Of Extinction Lockdown Flip And Change figure, and is an exclusive to Wal-Mart stores in the US, as he's a part of Wal-Mart's Autobots Unite subline. Check out the provides photo of the sighting below, and report any new toys you find anywhere in the world via the sightings tab in the "Toys" menu!

Its all the same. The only way to see if its a variant is to look at the very bottom of the clear plastic roof that you see unfolded in the packaging. If its really black at the bottom that means that what is on top of that clear plastic piece is also black and thus you know you have a fully black roof all across the top of the car. I hope this pic helps, you can see that the bottom fo th back section is all black in the package:

We have some HUGE news coming in today regarding some new Transformers The Last Knight toys hitting retail! Seibertronian Whirlkick has spotted not only the Autobots Unite Legion Class Two Packs, but also the highly anticipated Transformers Last Knight Deluxe Hot Rod figure, at an ASDA store in the UK! This confirms that the two packs, consisting of one with Hot Rod and Bumblebee and another with Megatron and Berserker, as well as Deluxe Hot Rod have started to trickle into stores, so it's only a matter of time before we see them in the US.
It also reinforces the fact that while the Autobots Unite subline is a Wal-Mart exclusive in the US, it will be exclusive to ASDA in the UK.
This makes sense, as Wal-Mart is ASDA's parent company.
Check out the photographic proof below, and let us know in the forums if you've seen any new toys in stores near you.

My ASDA is terrible for toys so I don't expect they will get him in - he is on the website though as is the 2 pack and Trypticon (for £150) so I'll see if they reduce them a bit before I consider biting £25.00 is a bit much for a remould.

Oh and Chefatron has reviewed Wave 3 Deluxe Bumblebee if anyone is interested to see his review it's here :

Man, Dragonstorm is supposed to be so cool. Stop with the QC issues!

This is also why I am glad I wait on figures. It's almost always the first ones that have issues.

Oh and Leader and voyager Megatron and voyager Hound are in-stock at HTS. I got all 3 with the 20% off thanks to emails

Thanks to reports from CDavid3 and Carytheone[/i], we have news that the Dancing Sqweeks toy has reached store shelves! This unique figure plays right into kids aspect of the line, and can be connected to an MP3 player to jam out to some jazzy tunes! The figure was found for $19.88 at Walmart, one of which was the Walmart in Milpitas, California. Check out the images below, and take a peek at a cool little Youtube video Carytheone was kind enough to take of the dancing figure!

Not sure if dancing or having some kinda episode but I like it. I wouldn't normally be interested in such a toy of most other characters who get this sorta thing but I'm fond of Sqweeks so it appeals to me. :)

I saw this thing at my Walmart on Wednesday, and decided to play with it. It is probably the stupidest piece of Bayverse merchandise released in the last 10 years. I felt myself losing an IQ point just standing there looking at it.

The folks over at Toy-People.com have posted an extensive selection of pictures of Transformers The Last Knight Deluxe Class Cogman, far and away the most hotly anticipated figure the last waves of the TLK toy line. The images show off the figure in robot and vehicle modes, compares him to other TLK figures, As well as his accessory and headmaster. They also show off two unknown features, the amount of detail in his cockpit, and his flip-down chest, which reveals even more detail that's been sculpted in. Check out all the photos below

Oh my Goooooooood, I'm in total, infatuated, love with this thing. I love the way too huge, winged out shoulders.

And this whole thing is so ****** unnecessary, it's awesome.

Also, if anybody's wondering, the interior is pretty f'in accurate, considering the restrictions. Here's one I sat in at a local dealer for reference.

Ok, the C-3PO-esque circle in his stomach becoming the screw on the Headmaster is absolutely brilliant. I wonder if that was something they planned during his development that got inserted into his movie design? Either way dang it, now I want 2 Cogman figures so I can have one in his robot mode and the other as tiny, human size Cogman. There's nice enough detail on the Headmaster that some paint would look great.

It's been a while since I was exited for a deluxe movie figure. Not even Squeek drew my attention. But Cogman... MAN, I'll pay the 30$CAN plus taxes without regrets! :x
