They've been sighted at theme park shops in the U.S., but now comes our first brick-and-mortar/big box retail sighting of Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Class Megatron and Hound! Both of these figures, which make up the entirety of Wave 2 in this size class, were sighted by yours truly at Walmart in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Hopefully, with these two well-reviewed figures showing up, the rest of Wave 2 won't be far behind!

Here's hoping I can get my claws on TLK Voyager Megatron sometime this month.

Thats not the job of those taking the photos.

Just for the record, the photographer has 1 job: take pictures.

Thats it. There is no reason a photographer should ever trouble themselves with even knowing how this thing transforms. Its not their job.

If its mistransformed its not the photographer who did that or even the whole photography team, its the people at Hasbro who gave them the product to photograph.

For it to look properly transformed, Hasbro should have someone part of the TF design team be there and set the toy up for it to be photographed by the photographer. But they are clearly not doing that. And thats Hasbro's marketting fault, not by any means the photographer.

I'm sure as hell glad I didn't buy any of these... ahem... toys before seeing the movie. Learned that one back in 2007.

Having looked at various positions over the years and even applied, I've gotten the impression that Hasbro has a policy of giving their employees a wider range of duties, or expecting a wider range of skills, than one would expect for any given job.

The backgrounds they expect can be pretty weird to. I was interested in a data scientist job that came up recently, but they are looking for people with backgrounds in computer science or engineering.

I've not met any of Hasbro's photographers, but going by the sort of job listings their HR department puts out, I'd imagine their photographers have degrees in architectural sciences and are responsible for maintaining the office printers.

Does this look proper in anyway? Like I can understand the smaller mistakes but this?

Why don't they just get a designer there to transform the figures for them and the photographers take the picture unless of course their in a different country or something.

A video of the Actors who star in Transformers: The Last Knight has been posted on twitter. This short clip features Mark Wahlberg, Isabela Moner, Josh Duhamel and some of our other favorite humans telling us which of the Transformers characters is their favorite.

I'm sorry, but I call bs, it clearly only misses one obvious step of hiding his bot mode head.

However it does show off his beast mode poseability and balance, something I think we're all interested in...

I can't wait to get this guy (these guys?)

Knights of Iacon, or Guardian Knights, you mean.

I'm hoping that Hound doesn't get an assembly error as some fans did. I'm honestly leaning more on buying things off of eBay than in hand.

Yes, we are, I thought it was kind of obvious, all they missed was to hide the bot mode head in the dragon chest, or wherever it goes

We just got news that the Wave 1 Leader Class figures for Transformers: The Last Knight have been found at Navy Exchange. This is a store for past or present members of the US Navy and their families. Wave 1 includes both Megatron and Optimus Prime. We got this news from Seibertronian Justice who found these at the Navy Exchange in Norfolk, Virginia. The price was $47.99 but there are coupons available at the entrance that can be applied to your purchase.

Ehh just my opinion of course.

Fans do tend to notice more specific things then the general person

Ohhh i didn't realise there was a direct way to do that. I'd just been posting stuff in the threads like normal and four of mine got reported as news presumably when noticed by you or other staff.

Heh, okee. I wouldn't like to presume what others would consider newsworthy so maybe I'll keep just posting stuff as regular posts and you staff folks can decide.

It's rare I'm the first with any important information. But hey getting my first 4 in one month was decent.
