Video Review for all Wave 1 of Armour Knight Turbo Changer Toys from Transformers: The Last Knight

Ironhidensh wrote:He sucks, but at least he only cost 15 bucks. Pretty sure I'll stay away from the rest of TLK figures. Blah.

But he's easily the worst of the new molds in wave 1. Thats like giving the Beatles a shot and first listening to Revolution #9.

I actually returned the toy to walmart under their "dissatisfaction policy".

berserker prime and barricade.

I havent seen any stars yet, they all have major flaws. Prime comes close but that deco is just wrong. I dont need more paint but different paint. And those eyes are so damn weird, he looks like an anime character crying.



And am I the only one to have prime with shoulders that unclip easily?

I doubt it, the only current star for me is grimlock in that sweet deco, but only because I want the mold and don't have it yet.

Other than that, I'm waiting on the double megs' leader one is gonna be a bit weird with the extra long arms and if you orient them so he has functioning elbows and wrists, he's gonna have weird cavities right above them, but he looks so damn nice, and his faceplate

No

we arent even supposed to know that they exsist

There are lots of things we know, and you know who else knows? Pepperidge Farm!

To be frank, aside from the Masterpieces, all we have are names, nothing else. Not even leaked toy images. My gut says we'll know more by Summer.

Sqweeks looks brilliant and I will have him. Even if he is out of scale with everything and his transformation cheats.

Drift I will probably get as well, for the reasons I've already mentioned several times before.

Picked up Barricade and Optimus.

Optimus is alright. Robot mode looks better in hand than I thought it would, and I like the accessories and how they work with the figure (sword sheath on his back is nice). The backpack is there, but it's low profile. Transformation has a couple of clever bits in the legs. It's an improvement, at least, over my 2007 Movie Voyager and its ridiculous backpack.

Barricade has an even goofier backpack, but the figure has so much charm that I don't care. The accessories are cool, the knuckle dusters are quite amusing, and I love the fact that his legs do a decent impression of actual police boots. I think the overall deco looks great, and his car mode rolls surprisingly well, even with the weapons stored. It's not a great figure on paper, but there is so much personality in the mold that I can easily look past its faults.

It's a day for reveals! We have some more Transformers: The Last Knight news to share, with wave 2 deluxe Sqweeks showing up in hand. The figure is shown in both modes and for its arm transformation, as well as the weapon storage trailer, courtesy of The Blue E on Facebook - check it out below!

Is it just me or does Sqweeks have 4 handlebars?

Not that that's putting me off him. He's so cute and he'll have to be pretty annoying in the movie for me to not buy it.

Yeah, but the 2 that make up his arms seem to be part of some sort of system that allows for the arms to be swapped around, they do need to be removed for transformation, but this way you can customize the figure, actually seem pretty cool to me

Dunno, one of the arms looks pinned down to the work shop, so maybe not, I like that the handlebar arms seem to be able to fold away for vehicle mode, seems like hasbro put a lot of effort into making this figure, am very interested in seeing a video review of this guy

He does look like a charming little figure. I don't know if worth the £23 or so that TLK Deluxes cost here but maybe. Certainly more appealing once they start appearing in money-off sales.

SOMETHING NEW AND ORIGINAL!

Squeek will be bought on day one. Yes, even that the 30$CAN price point.

Sqweeks looks so different and is really different from pretty much every other movie figure we have ever gotten, which is really cool! I like it, and he is the only deluxe from wave 2 I want, so I'm super excited that he looks this good and they put this love into him

at least get a raincheck tomorrow so taht he only costs you $22.50 instead.

See, this is the sort of thing I want them to do more with their size classes - have a character be smaller than the size class would suggest, but give them a big trailer or something to make up that price. I think it'd be awesome if the Leader Class in Generations was used for Optimus or Rodimus with trailers, for example. This sort of thing sets good precedent imo and it's awesome to see them going for this

Not saying it's a bad thing. Just wanted to point it out.
I know I paraphrased you D-Max. Sorry.

Saw the deluxes today in Tesco. Really not worth the £21 they were asking. Maybe 15, sure. But not £21.

How dare you merely ... paraphrase me!!!!! I will have your head for this Cobotron!!!




I really like how Fixit turned out as a character and toy, so this works perfectly well for me! WA!

Wait wait wait... That thing TRANSFORMS?! Wow, i have a lot more respect for the figure now.

R2-Sqweeks2

I love it even more now. He even has the blue of my favorite Star Wars character ever. Bam. He's on Megatron level for excitement of buying now

As you might recall, we mentioned back a few days ago that Singapore would be hosting a Midnight Madness event where many Transformer related prizes would be handed out. Seibertronian Freaky777 was present at the event and managed to win a limited edition Battle Damaged Bumblebee figure! Bee uses the Age of Extinction mold that is also used for the Hasbro Wave 1 Bumblebee figure, but with extensive paint apps designed to evoke battle damage. You can check out the pictures that Freaky777 sent us and let us know if you were able to snag something from the event!

At first I was like "meh" when I saw this Squeeks because of the handle hands showing in alt mode, but then I realized when I saw this that it was previously mis-transformed, and his alt mode looks PERFECT!

I also was like "meh" when I saw the scale, but then I realized he would go PERFECTLY with MPM Bee!

D'uh. Right.
I'll do it for the voyagers as well. 90 days is a long time afterall.

its how long this line will last With wave 2 coming out next month.

And if they dont write the expiry date, you get it for as long as you want.

Ballistic90 wrote:Wait wait wait... That thing TRANSFORMS?! Wow, i have a lot more respect for the figure now.

yeah but it cheats more than bradley cooper in Wedding Crashers.

Bee looks kinda OK - Hes a bit like the battle Damaged bee that came out a very long time ago with one of the earlier moulds.

The Large Black Hood is also similar to a few obscure Bees too.

He is a bit banana yellow though. I'd buy one if I can get one for less than silly money.

---

Other than looking a bit like RID's Fixit Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks also looks a lot like the 2003 Street Action Team Minicon Sureshot (a scooter as well) and also The head reminds me of Old Bob from Disney's the Black Hole.

RAR wrote:He is a bit banana yellow though.

HA! Funny you should say that. My first thought was, he looks like a bruised banana just waiting to be baked into bread.

RAR wrote: and also The head reminds me of Old Bob from Disney's the Black Hole.

Isn't that this guy?

Sabrblade wrote:

EDIT: Nope! My bad.

You're totally right RAR.

Finally an opportinuty for this video!

Nice figure not for me to buy

I'm really liking Squeeks and I like him even more now that he is symmetrical. That offset steroid arm was bugging me. What can I say, I'm a sucker for cute robutts

The small white robot was T-Bob from MASK (by the way), I mentioned Old Bob rather than Vincent as Bob is bashed up looking. and has one leg hanging down like Squeek's CGI form which has one wheel and one peg leg.

As for the little base he has - It also reminded me of a Webdiver Playset too.



I'll tell you what else I get a Hint of too Alpha Five from Power Rangers.

Looks like he has peanut butter all over his helmet.

Sqweeks kinda feels like a RotF toy, what with the quirky bot mode and oddball alternate mode and all. Same goofy charm as the Ice Cream Twins or Wheelie or Ransack.

I was gonna say it looks like they smudged something else on it...

Got me on that, it was the first pic of a gobots scooter search that I liked

I'd love to see a Scooter remake in the newer Machine Robo line.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Makes him an even more likely purchase since I do love some goofy RotF/HFTD figures.

This "Sqweeks" looks familiar somehow. Ah yes....

One more wheeled bot comparison for the history books:

I am getting tons of ROTF vibes from this line. That Berserker is totally a ROTF figure similar to the likes of Sideswipe or any other bot who had very little alt mode integration. And that Optimus is totally taking hints from Battleblades Prime for me. Like the idea that the entire bottom of the truck folds into itself for the legs and the arms making the front. I guess I am referring to the large amount of shellforming involved instead of the inside out technique AOE tried.

The website TTPM has revealed their MOST WANTED TOYS SUMMER 2017 list and Transformers: The Last Knight toys are part of it. They included Voyager Grimlock, Turbo Change Optimus and the Optimus Prime voice changing helmet. There is also a link giving a quick look at the history of the Transformers brand for those who want a quick history lesson to show someone.

"We've got to pick our most wanted for a list and we've got half an hour to deliver it to boss's desk." "Just get the first ones you find on a list and stick'em to the dart board."

In all seriousness, it's the most media covered, first voyager on tfwiki, and the last voyager on wave 1 on tfwiki. Little suspicious if you ask me.

Found a video review of Barricade.

I had a chat with my inner 8 year old and they told me that Squeeks and anything that changes into a dragon is "cool".

Oh and I'll tell you what else Squeeks is a bit like :

The Dark of the Moon "Go Bots" Bumblebee the one that wiggles when you push it along.

Oh and Death My ol' Pal look back a couple of pages and you will see we were on the same wave length.

I seen these "premiere" editions at my local TRU. Are they worth the $20?

I wasn't impressed. Jeez, I didn't even look a the deluxe prices after seeing they wanted $30 for the voyagers.

I will say that Slash looked pretty cool all metallica'd up

They were $20 at TRU. I kinda liked the Berzerker.
