It feels like ages but finally, Walmart.com is stocking their own prized exclusive, The Last Knight Deluxe Hot Rod. This has been a really odd road so far for this exclusive, with people thinking it would never come and him popping up on Amazon (not stocked). This news comes to us from fellow Seibertronian nycPrime, and you can click here to get your Hot Rod.


Transformers News: Deluxe Hot Rod from Transformers: The Last Knight Finally Out at Walmart.com

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

there's always other avenues openly available to acquire Cogman(& cheaper too! like Ebay) >:oP https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/3TRANSFORMERS-?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 ... iid%253A13

GAH! Stew, thanks for reminding me!

Be careful on Ebay folks. There are a lot of Cogman's being sold for cheap from canadian users who have never registered and have no feedback, and there are like 10 or 15 of them. If someone wants to order from them, please do, but be careful, this has scam written all over it

I'm gonna hit the Wal-Marts today around me. I plan to get two! one to keep as original, one to open and buy repro-labels from toyhax to dress up with G-1 Style flames!

The deluxe scale works perfectly for the MP version stickers! :APPLAUSE:

I knew right there as I was wiping up, I have to have HIM!! :-(

Well, now that you mention it.. I did find this on Twitter from DaimChoc Reports feed (incidentally, Watching his page is good for news and special stuff Transformers related)
https://www.facebook.com/DaimChocReport ... =3&theater

I am not sure if this is just a heavily modified version of the Deluxe, or a Third Party or KO.. But if it's a small conversion.. I would do it! It looks primo and sweet! The chest doesn't look like the standard deluxe.. Is that a TAKARA TOMY Custom? Anyone know what this is?? It says custom but you never know..

Image

If that can be done with a deluxe that already looks amazing, Imagine what a Proper Masterpiece of him will look like?! TLK Hot Rod is quickly becoming a Favorite of mine..

Even without the heavy Modifications someone else did, look at the detail work on the face! For a deluxe, this mold is absolutely fantastic!! :APPLAUSE: Two Thumbs Up!

I personally like Hot Rod the way he is. As neat as it'd be to add more color on him, I think the flame decals would look inconsistent with a dark Lamborghini. Sometimes, if I see the way a certain version of a character looks, I'd stick with that appearance; i.e. Movie Prime looks great with the flames and different positions of red and blue, but without them he looks off to me (doesn't look bad on TFP Optimus). BH Bulkhead is an exception since the Brawn esque colors and the different head give him a new personality.

Still can't wait to get Hot Rod. If we get more sightings of other characters, then I'll be as happy as anyone singing the 12 days of xmas (3 months away, btw!)

That's true. I may modify slightly if only to match what I've seen in media (TV/movie/comic) like I did with Beast Hunters Optimus Prime from that TFP. I do wish he came with his weapon though..

Yea, I get that. To me, Movie Prime does match his flames. There were a lot of redeco versions of Prime in Red and Blue Ala G-1 esque style done with the Leader Class version for both TFTM and TFROTF, and then there were the ubiquitous Red and Blue silver repaints on the evasion from TFAOE. I do prefer the original Colors presented as well. However.. I think that black Lamborghini's can also come in black with flames..It's not like it hasn't been done already.. I just figure if I get two figures, why not try to G-1 it up a bit..

It's a heavy custom. I posted a video of it when I got my Hot Rod last week wishing it looked more like that far more accurate custom but even as is, he's a fun figure.

I'm tempted by the gun a shapeways user made but of course it adds more cost to a figure that wasn't particularly cheap to begin with. Still it really does add to the look of the figure as you can see in the pics.
