I am still struggling to see how paint apps are an issue. The 4 figures I have actually have lots of paint, on par or greater than the TR counterparts standing right next to them

Agreed. I dont get it either. The only one so far which I felt lacked paint was deluxe drift in alt mode. The rest have good paint. And that voyager megs use paint so well to give you a gorgeous subtle pallet of different armour pieces.

Oh I wasn't referring to the whole line; just a few choice figures like the re-used AOE Bumblebee and that Legion Optimus. Not to mention figures like Skullitron which might not be low on paint apps, but are pretty bad and have been criticised by others.

It's not all of the figures certainly, might even be a majority of the line that's good with paint; but there's a very noticeable amount of figures with terrible and/or few paint apps.

One question about the movie optimus prime i bought Are there any detailed instructions for how to disassaemble him and display the vehicle kibble separately? i cant find it in the manual.

no, there are not. You technically are not supposed to and I would not recomend it since it is attached by pins.

I didn't have to remove any pins. Just a couple screws to get the roof part out and the screws went right back in.

As I have said before - I'd actually not mind that Proto-form Optimus if he was another colour - also the Optimus might have been nice in something similar to Laser Prime colours.

They are to much money to be so similar as they are - they are like one of those endless ROTF Sideways slight repaints that got made.

Via an email notification from a fellow Transformers fan, we have confirmation that the second wave of Transformers: The Last Knight toys are current available over on HasbroToyShop.com! The wave, we'll remind readers, includes voyagers Megatron and Hound, and Deluxe Drift, Sqweeks, Steelbane, and Slug.

Found on facebook page planet iacon, stock images of deluxe class cogman.

PAINTED RIMS? WHAT IS THIS?

Hopefully Voyager Megatron will be in stock around the time I get paid next month. I really, really, have A MIGHTY NEED for this figure.

Seibertronian Bacem has found some cool images online coming from 淘宝店变形金刚改造工厂 on Weibo. These feature final product images of deluxe Cogman from Transformers The Last Knight. Unlike the previous renders, these new stock images give us a better idea of the finished product since they aren't photoshopped and are usually taken in a less flaterring light, giving us an idea of the product we will really get. Of course, we now know that this toy is very innacurate and completely off scale to the character in the film but hopefully the toy still has many fans. Let us know if you will still be picking up this toy!

That sword looks absolutely pathetic. The package art set up my expectations for something awesome and it was dropped so far

Otherwise he looks a decent carformer. I wonder if the Titan Master is retooled from any pre-existing one?

Definitely liking this toy and can't wait to get it to paint some more silver on the robot parts that lack it.

To me this is Cogman as he is using his own larger body that we didn't really see in the film or perhaps having converted a car to be a restyled larger version of his normal human-like sized form. A fun looking toy either way

Stupid Hasblo...SOLD OUT already. BigBadToystore.com has a pre-order for Megatron/Hound at $59.99

I kinda don't think so. the shoulders, shins, and head look like they're sculpted to resemble the bigger bot, but the thighs and torso could definitely be reused from a TR TM.
This fig definitely has my interest. Might depend how well that "weathered" deco turns out. Would be fun to have him rolling around the TR shelf though.

I'm still not convinced that swords are of any use against robots. Robots are practically MADE of armor - they're metal. Yet in the Bayverse, swords, hooks and other melee weapons seem to rip through them like wet tissue paper. Sure, it makes for a neat visual, but it's not realistic. The whole reason why swords became obsolete was the advent of the firearm. Suits of armor, which beforehand had been reliable and vital protection against swords and arrows, became useless almost overnight.

If I were fighting a giant robot and had my choice of weapons? I'd go with the fusion cannon, not a toothpick.

Tell that to other franchises like Ninja Turtles and Wolverine who are often using bladed weapons to fight robots. Armour's only gonna protect you for so long against something really, really sharp (like Wolvie's claws) and often the TF blades are enhanced with energy or fire or vibrations or some stuff.

Are suits of armour not bullet proof to some degree? I'm not actually sure.

Swords are a gentleman's weapon. They take skill, training, courage, and respect to wield. Any fool can pull a trigger. Where's the romance in that?
Fantasy world calls for fantasy weapons.

I just like them having swords because they're cool.

I got Voyager Megatron three weeks ago, still debating whether to get TLK Hound or try get the AoE version that never appeared in stores here. The AoE version having the bulkier alt-mode and more weapons but I like the TLK robot form too.

Some quality KO's of the AoE version easily available too I think.
