I am pretty sure he meant Cogman (and Nitro and Dragonstorm).

Whoops, fixed. So are Nitro and Cogman mass releases? (Too many sublines/retailer exclusives!!)

This set looks to be part of the "Reveal" subline rumored to be Target Exclusive. In fact, it looks like they come with translucent weapons too!

Yup Nitro is Scorn's wave mate in wave 3 and Cogman was the last deluxe from early listings of the whole line.

Only thing now is what's up with the Voyager Bumblebee listing that showed around the same time as Leader Dragonstorm perhaps it was a "code name" for either Scorn or Nitro to keep them hidden.

Thank you very much for the explanation, I now (mostly) understand .
I was out of the loop on vacation around the time the whole Cogman/Nitro/Hot Rod drop happened, so I hadn't gotten everything straight.

All you need to know is that if it's a new mold, it's general retail... Except for the Hot Rod Legion figure, which still exclusive to Walmart All his other figures are retools of the equivalent Lockdown toy (One-Step, Flip & Change, Deluxe).

.... "Chihuahua"? Oh boy, I have a sudden urge to NOT see this movie.


Tiny Turbo Changer Steelbane looks pretty neat. I really hope there's a way to get him without Optimus and Bumblebee, though. Either another wave or even just another exclusive set with characters other than those two. (Hell, even just EVIL repaints would've been acceptable)

I have PCHSD.

Okay, that Turbo Changer three pack with Steelbane is a must-buy for me. It's just too adorable to pass up!

(Also, I thought Skullitron was confirmed as a Decepticon.)

And why would a Knight of Cybertron be a Decepticon?
The product description for him and Megatron says the opposite with this line, "As MEGATRON leads the DECEPTICONS to wage war on Earth, SKULLITRON charges back into action to uphold his sacred knight’s oath".

I was under the impression that he's a decepticon, or at least is going to be marketed as one, going by the back of box photo we've seen.

Yeah, here's the image in question that Kotori's talking about.

https://static.seibertron.com/images/to ... litron.jpg

Considering that they've been putting those logos on the packaging to denote affiliation, it seemed to me that Skullitron was supposed to be a Decepticon, or at least evil. At this point, we should probably just wait to see the movie and let the official fiction settle this for us. The fact that he's labeled as a Knight of Cybertron is only adding more fuel to the fire on this. Again, let's just agree to wait for the movie to come out and see for ourselves.

Yes, while it was thought that the Dragon bot would only be getting a deluxe class figure in the TLK toy line, it's obvious that, to some degree, this version of him will hit store shelves as well. It's unknown, however, if this figure will see a solo release in the TTC blind bags, although it will likely be exclusive to the set.



Discuss below what other tiny Turbo Changer three packs you'd like to see!

Just to be sure, those are the blind-bag figures, correct?

Correct Kan!

Oh, and I just noticed they're rocking the decoder gimmick. Is that a target exclusive thing, or is that just speculation?

EDIT: ALSO, is that a rack of red weapons packed behind them?

Yes it is. I dont know if others noticed the chicken pox covering them.

Also, the target thing is still speculation, but a smart one.

And hasbro confirmed the turbo changers end at wave 2

And Jelze, the HotRod legion can be considered a retool depending on one's point of view. I personally fail to see how its any less a retool than the deluxe, which changes so much that the robot mode changes size and even has differently oriented kibble for the arms.

Or maybe armor bits like the RID minicons.

That price tag for the three pack...

Has anyone considered this?

We know DRAGONSTORM
the triple head,
supposed Autobot,
is composed of at least two knights.

AND
we have seen the giant dragon transform into
a single bot figure
via the DRAGONSTORM one-step toy

yes?

now consider this:
THEY ARE BOTH RIGHT!

how?
you ask?

3-Headed DRAGON
=
2 fairly bad-ass KNIGHTS
=
1 GIANT GESTALT WARLORD!!!!

by combining said KNIGHTS alternately!

TA-DA!
Cool, eh?

I can totally see it!

what do you think?

Google Image translate offers "Heaven Waste" or "Ceiling" for that.

So he's something like "SkyHammer" possibly?

He's a new character called Chopter.

1$US = 7.80$HK

Might as well call this pesos.

So, at 100$HK amount to almost 13$US for the 3 pack. A bit pricey.

PrimeVsPrime has found one of the first video reviews for the upcoming Transformers The Last Knight Deluxe Hot Rod Figure. While it is in Chinese, it still gives us a great look at the highly anticipated toy. The video shows off the Robot Mode, Vehicle Mode, and accessories. This figure has yet to officially hit retail anywhere, but when it does, you'll hear about it here on Seibertron.com!

Straight garbage. Ugly ass toy.

Terrible. It's just a Lockdown redeco from the last movie line.

Actually, Hot Rod doesn't look half bad. Only issues I have are the Lockdown feet, and the oddly shaped hands. I also would've prefered the chest to be raised a bit to be more forward like in the CGI design rather than the chest being so flat, but that I can forgive. I think this could look really good with the new Bee coming out soon. I wanna see comparisons!

It's a bit more Lockdown than just the feet though, or am I mistaken?

cmm21nj wrote:It's a bit more Lockdown than just the feet though, or am I mistaken?

The lower legs and the basic skeleton (hinges and such). The rest is all new.

That's good then. On first glance, it looked like a lot was taken from Lockdown. And glad they took less because LD was pretty assy in my opinion. Im just getting back into collecting again, so im pretty selective this time around. I stopped mainly because after the last movie line, quality seemed to really decline. Not much seems as nice as Animated, Prime, or Generations. I've been a fan since the 80's and started collecting back then, and im just sad to see the quality take such a hit lately. That's just me though.

Its basically an upsized lockdown with a few new parts. Transformation is the same.

I'm gonna wait and see what we get for the bee movie.

Not for the arms, there is additional steps. Kinda like when they redid Voyager Grimlock for RID, they added steps to the transformation.

20 bucks for a ugly upscale deluxe with no weapons or nothing??

i will pass

Ugly or pretty, you can get a deluxe TR for $15 at Walmart; and it might be that way with TLK too.

TLK Deluxes are intentionally priced higher than TR Deluxes.

Walmart.com has them at 19.97 a piece, is that what they sell for in stores?

I don't know because I haven't noticed the deluxe Class TLK Transformers, but chances are they're the same price. I've had a frustrating couple weeks because I haven't been able to get to a Walmart to buy money orders to send to Lightsyder for a couple Transformers I asked him to hold.

No. They sell for somewhere between $14 to $15 in store. It's some random price like $15.37.

The Optimus 2 pack is now at Toys R Us Laval!



For the low, low price of 70$CAN plus 15% taxes.

I already have Protoform Optimus and that DOTM deluxe Optimus, I have it 3 times. All are in storage. So, guess what?
Yeah, pass.

Is there a way to get an idea of which Tiny Turbo changer is in a package without opening it? After I bought Bumblebee, I had a feeling he was the one I had before I opened it because I saw the words Chevy Camaro in small print on it. There are too many redos in the whole set for me to get all of them, but I would like to get the helicopter.

Yes, here you go https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... des/38001/

Big W has the Target exclusive here?

Skullitron is very bad, do not get him. His robot mode chest constantly comes undone, leaving him with a floppy chest and he is very hard to stand. His transformation may be unique but it is not fun at all. His dragon mode is okay but there is robot kibble everywhere and the spine of the dragon is bare.

You actually have it in hands?

I still call "pics or it didn't happen".

Okay, here it is.

First off, the robot mode. The robot mode is okay, the headsculpt is great. It has decent articulation. You can put it in some cool poses but some you need to use the transformation joints. Also, if you tried hard enough I'm pretty sure it could duel wield it's sword. The only thing letting it down is how the beast kibble usually gets in the way and the chest keeps coming undone, making him annoying to play with because his chest goes all floppy. His knee articulation is also hindered by the beast kibble, but you can fix that by pulling the tail and head out of his legs.
Robot Mode - 6/10




Next, the transformation. I hate the transformation, things get in the way and things pop off a lot while transforming. The transformation is unique though, but because of that the beast mode suffers. The legs split to become the dragon tail and head, because of this the head and tail are uneven.
Transformation - 2/10




Finally, the beast mode. The beast mode is flimsy, it doesn't have much articulation and barely counts as a dragon. I know it's supposed to be Cybertronian but there's too much robot kibble. A top-down view of the dragon makes it look horrendous. The uneven tail and head also kills it for me, and the poorly molded hind feet. There's also no storage for the weapon. (If there is, the instructions fail to mention it)
Beast Mode - 3.5/10




I do not recommend this figure, the only reason I want to keep this is for the Mission To Cybertron card so I can put all the cards together and finish the puzzle. But I'm just gonna refund it anyways and pick up Megatron or Berserker because guess what? These are the same price as their counterparts, yay!
Overall - 4/10 (Poor)

Thanks!
And how are the joints in robot mode? Steelbane floppy?
