Eh, I used to own this guy. This mold suck mighty ass though.

As for altmode, Megatron can never settle on one form. He's like a prima-diva with a huge walk-in and change shoes to match his purse. Through the universes, Starscream was always a type of fighter jet. So I do hope the trend will remain.



If they release a Starscream Titan Master, I know what to do................

Finally got TLK Deluxe Cogman. I quite like it, except for the obvious unpainted parts. Those are pretty garish because they are surrounded with well painted parts. So I used a silver Testor paint pen and a Tamiya black water wash. That's it. This is the result:















What do you guys think?

So i landed myself a Cogman finally (funny enough, I didn't know I was getting the Takara packaged one. He even came with both paper and laminated directions!). Overall, he is a pretty good figure. The paint work on him is spectacular! And I love the Headmaster. The transformation feels like TLK Barricade mixed with AoE Ninja Bee, and it is quite satisfying.

The bummer though, and the reason I am not more excited for him:


Very first transformation, the crotch piece broke. Very first piece I went to transform. it sucks. But if it weren't for that piece, I would sing his praises. Probably the best deluxe of the line, though he competes some with Sqweeks there. I'll need to take some more pictures of him later with the Autobot crew from the knight trilogy (or at least what is supposed to be a knight trilogy)

On the subject of Mr Cogman, has anybody in Australia or New Zealand spotted him yet?. I've been scouring every supplier I know of and have only found the wave 3 bots.

Cogman is an exclusive to the most random store you will never expect to find him.
No, seriously.

Don't take any chances. Pay 10$ more than retail and import him. He's very, VERY worth it.

OOOOOOooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well well well, seem like it's only 5ish bucks more instead. So don't wait:

I might just have to take you up on that offer, Cogman is the one figure in this line I can't afford to miss!

Not only you will have it 5$ cheaper than me, I'm pretty sure you Aussies are used to pay insane price for about everything. So that Cogman may be at (almost) exactly retail price for you, including taxes.

EDIT:
If you are not Australian, please move over there ASAP so I don't look like a fool.

Haha! I come from the land down under NZ, not Aussie! Moving on, I can confirm the pricing here is indeed insane, this Cogman ain't to far off what I usually pay though.

Eh, close enough!

Too bad deluxe Cogman suffer from the "tail line" syndrome.
Still, it could have been worse. It could have been like this trio of deluxes from DOTM: Soundwave, Q, and Leadfoot.



All 3 had very limited release in non-Japan Asia only. At the time, and mostly today, Deluxe Soundwave and Leadfoot have insane prices. Like 100-200$ insane.

Poor Leadfoot, Both Que and Soundwave got there molds released in later lines, but he's still stuck in 2011 with the rest of the wreckers

Takara Cogman is out?

I got my Cogman from China too. I have yet to see a deluxe past wave 1 anywhere here, and most likely won't.

As for these 3, I got Que on Amazon for $27 back at the end of 2011, and I love him, one of my favorite movie deluxes actually, and he is my 2nd favorite DotM figure after Topspin. Never saw the other 2 for a decent price ever. Just had to use my RotF Soundwave and HA Leadfoot.

I hate tail enders and the difficulty with getting them, especially when they are figures I would prefer to get over beginning of the liners

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Takara Cogman is out?

I guess

I just got this one Yesterday, He's probably one of my new favorites.

Finally decided to get myself a TLK voyager Scorn despite having the stellar AoE deluxe. But guess what? Voyager Scorn ROCK! Simple but clever transformation, beautiful all over, and the dino mode is HUGE.

He has made my life difficult with choosing the best TLK figure. But he is awesome, and I am glad others find him as awesome. The dino mode is huge and awesome! And the robot mode is pretty beefy too

Make me wonder why I waited for so long to get him.

Just as an update, every single Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys R Us near me is STILL stuck at Wave 1. I've never seen a wave two or onward deluxe. Period. Save for my three previous purchases (Nitro Zeus, Slash and Barricade), I might be forced to miss out on this entire line. And trust me, that is not what I would have chosen to do.

For anyone like Bronzewolf and I who have struggled to see anything past wave 1, keep an eye on local stores. One Walmart 40 minutes away got the wave 2 deluxes yesterday, it's the first time I have seen them in stores:



I decided to pick up Steelbane because they had him and I wanted to support wave 2, which was out of Drifts and there was still a mountain of wave 1 sitting on top of the shelf.

He is very substandard. Robot mode is pretty sweet with the knight look that I like, but his alt mode just shouldn't exist. Mine had a floopy right shoulder and ankle, but after moving them a little bit, they tightened up, though I still added some tissues to the joints.

Probably should have just passed, but, finally saw wave 2

Just now noticed that the same sale that had TR Overlord on Amazon for $30 also had TLK Voyager Megatron for only $16.13.


Still available for the next 45 minutes. Only came to $17 after tax for me.

Emerje

The best voyager of the line at that price?
Anyone who don't have him yet shouldn't miss out.

Our latest coverage of this figure hailed from Canada back in this story, but thanks to fellow Seibertronian PrimeVsPrime, we now have an in-hand video review for Transformers: The Last Knight Allspark Tech Sqweeks!

Part of the latter end of the movie toyline, the Allspark Tech toys are podgy little box figures which feature electronics and an interactive play pattern of sorts, with cubes fitting the various characters' chests. Check out below how this works for Sqweeks in particular, which follows the likes of Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime, Megatron, Barricade, Drift, Bumblebee and Hound, then let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards.

I can'tr help but think this would have been a way better gimmick for the TF2007 movie, you know, that actually featured the Allspark. But maybe the technology wasn't there. Either way, some interesting toys.

So I broke down and bought The Takara version of Cogman from Amazon Japan. All said and done it was still $10 cheaper than the cheapest price I've seen for the Hasbro version.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:So I broke down and bought The Takara version of Cogman from Amazon Japan. All said and done it was still $10 cheaper than the cheapest price I've seen for the Hasbro version.

You won't regret it. Cogman is one of those figures that is worth the extra money.

Just be very careful with the crotch piece. Mine broke during the first transformation

He started appearing at Walmarts in Canada so its possible he will be found at Walmarts in the US in the coming month.

Also there is no such thing as a Takara "version", since both are the same version. Its just released by two different companies.

Well, there's the Japanese / Chinese sticker on the packaging.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-Kanrabat- wrote:Japanese / Chinese

Don't let anyone of either country hear you say that! They're not the same, in fact it's a big pet peeve.

Besides, China is serviced by Hasbro.

What I meant is one OR the other.

I got the "Chinese" version so my sticker was in Chinese. There was even a Chinese instruction manual include beside the standard one.

I'm also a big fan of Chinese Cartoons so I know the difference.

By version I meant release and IDK, the pics make the figure look darker

Don't be fooled by pictures. It's really the exact same toy, box and all. Just a Japanese sticker added on the back and possibly a Japanese instruction manual added inside. Like the "Chinese" version.

The only reason to chose an Asian release over a local one is if the local one just won't show up. Like I did. Ironically, I was still waiting for my Cogman when I finally found one in store. Even though I paid 11$CAN extra over the regular price, I still had to wait a bit for my Chinese one to arrive...

chuckdawg1999 wrote:By version I meant release and IDK, the pics make the figure look darker

It has been proven to be the exact same figure, D-Max got it a while back. There are no differences.

Same thing with TLK Hot Rod. I got one from Amazon Japan and it was literally just the American "Autobots Unite" figure with some Japanese stickers on it. I do still wonder why he (Hot Rod) never saw a release at B&M in the U.S.

Now that the Christmas/holiday season is over the entire world over, it's clearance time! It's been noted in stories we've posted that Titans Return and RiD figures have been placed on clearance at some retail locations in the U.S., and now, thanks to fellow Seibertronian CPrime18, we have confirmation that the toys from Transformers: The Last Knight are going on clearance as well! He found Leader Class Optimus Prime for a bargain at $25- that's a whopping 50% off! This particular figure was spotted at a Walmart in San Antonio, Texas. Have you seen any TLK figures on clearance? Please let us know by sending a quick email (with photo proof) to sightings@seibertron.com, and also, post them in your local sightings boards and our toy sightings forum to let fellow fans know!

There are parts on the shoulder that look darker compared to the pic on the back. I'll have to look for more pics.

Well, I didn't want it at $49 bucks until now. Maybe if I can get Megatron for the jet mode, I can also get a cheap flight stand! Speaking of, how does Megatron work with a flight stand in jet mode?

I bought a leader Megatron for $12.50 at a Wal-Mart in Oklahoma.

The Voyager one works. Not sure about the Leader...

Please remind me... is this Optimus any different from the previous movie toy? (other than paint apps)

Thanks. That's what I thought. No reason to buy something I already own, even if it is on a good sale.

It was on clearance so I guess they were just wanting to get rid of it.

In Canada, ALL Movie toys except legions are back at their full prices for both Walmart and Toys R Us.

Hi everyone i just found a last night barricade, but i really really do not his head dose anyone know if the dark of the moon head will work?

You missed a word here. You don't like the TLK head so you want to put the DOTM deluxe head on the TLK deluxe body, right?

Well, why not? Dunno how that would look though. Maybe digi-bash the result? If it's look good enough for you, then hope the ball joints are compatible. If not, just MAKE it work. I do it all the time for my customs.

I no longer have DOTM deluxe Barricade and my TLK is in a moving box. So I can't tell. If you don't have a DOTM deluxe Barricade on hand and your only Option is Ebay, it's a hard call to make. But if you have him and all you have to do is to buy a TLK one, then just buy it and see for yourself. In case of complete incompatibility, you'll have to use some scrap you may "or should have) on hand to make it work. Often, I even have to adapt heads that came from balljoint to swivel mushroom pegs and vice-versa!

Anyway, you better ask those questions OVER THERE in order to stay on topic and getting more help.

So here's my look at the Japanese release of Cogman. Like everyone else has said I see no differences with the US release. FYI, my crotch piece is fine.

The "jock-strap" incident was just a random defect, not a wide issue.
