These aren't true blind bags. There's a view window in the bottom left corner of the backside of the bags. I used it to get a full set already.

I just got him and he's incredible. The transformation is superb, even though he's still a complete shellformer. However, this time around the shell hide everywhere in a very clever way. The truck look fantastic and the bot is ever BETTER LOOKING THAN THE LEADER! Yes, that include my ultra expensive special new remold from Takara.

He's literally the only Last Knight figure I've seen anywhere outside of some one steps at Target and the Optimus helmet at Toys R Us. I just opened him up and haven't transformed him yet, but he does look good and worth the absurd hunting it took to track him down. No loose joints, good posability and nice paint. I'll upload a few pictures once I've messed around with him a bit.

Considering recent developments, I have refined my want list for the TLK toys.
-New Deluxe 'Bee
-Voyager Prime and Megs
-Leader Megs
...yes, both Megses. The smaller one will be busy fighting Prime.

To anyone who's got a Tiny turbo Changer- are their alternate modes licensed or just approximations? Any sort of licensing information listed on their baggies? I have yet to see any tlk figures in stores and have been wondering.

The leader mold was never great looking in bot mode. Takara gave it an incredible paint job and al the retooled parts are top notch, but that never changed the big backpack and overflowing kibble. So yes, this one is a better realization of that Optimus. However, the deco on that Takara Leader is far superior.
Do you have pictures to offer a comparison?
They arent licensed. Neither are the one steps.

im just gonna quit saying stuff till i know its true. i even had it in hand and it looked different. its not just a different color from the rest
Re: New Premier Edition Transformers: The Last Knight Toy Spot

Not quite true. Tiny Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is still licensed by Western Star, tho the baggies do not show that, rather it's on the instructions. One can assume Bumblebee is licensed as well, but I can't be sure about the rest of the current cast. The ones from earlier movies are definitely unlicensed approximations. The redeco One-Steps should be licensed by pedigree, as the original AoE releases were.
Just for the record, these are the current active licenses for the line I'm aware of:
- Western Star 4900 (Optimus Prime)
- Chevrolet Camaro (Bumblebee)
- Corvette Stingray (Crosshairs)
- Mercedes AMG GT-R (Drift)
Still awaiting the licensing info for Beserker and Barricade, if any.

It's undeniable that the deco on the Takara special leader is superior. But as they say, a polished poo is still a poo. I still like my Tak Leader but... The Platinum Silver Knight is still above it. Now #2 thanks to the TLK voyager that is the actual #1.
I 'll keep it in truck mode for this glorious display:

Ah, Chevrolet Suburban, like Crankcase before him. Thanks, and noted. On that note, his One-Step toy is possibly unlicensed, having only one lightbar. I know One-Step Hound isn't licensed.
And Barricade... is he still a Mustang-based Saleen in the movie, or a proper Ford Mustang this time around?

Dont know, but his toy not being licensed might mean he isnt a proper mustang.
Why would Berserker have the Corvette licence written in the back?

It's not uncommon for cars to be marketed under a different brand, the Suburban or variants thereof are marketed under Chevrolet, Holden, GMC and even Cadillac. The Corvette is a specific brand for sports cars, owned by Chevrolet, so it being on Beserker's info is a bit strange.
As for Barricade, I wonder what made Saleen or Ford back out.

I find it very unlikely Barricade is unlicensed. If he's unlicensed, i'm sure they would have taken several extra steps to make sure the toy didn't look like a mustang. Legal problems and all that. At the same time, how impossible would it be to license products from Ford AND Chevrolet in the same line/movie?! That's the kind of legal acrobatics only Hot Wheels can pull off.
What, haven't you heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard.

Wouldn't be the first time Mattel was a party pooper when it comes to Transformers. From "Hot Rod" to having an exclusive license from Ferrari.
And you'd be surprised at how little needs to be changed to no longer requiring a license. Back in 2001, X-Brawn only needed to have the shape of his lights changed. And RotF Sideways may look like an Audi R8, he's still unlicensed.

So after a long day I finally got to sit down and mess with my new Optimus. He's not perfect, but a lot of fun and easily better than the previous AoE molds (in my opinion). I do wish the back kibble was hidden a bit more, but it really isn't that bad. The transformation is a lot of fun and satisfyingly complex, and it makes me even happier that he can store his sword and shield under and on the truck in vehicle mode. The robot mode sword storage is great too! I got lucky and ended up with no loose joints an very cleanly applied paint. I'll probably take a brush to him in the next couple weeks to add a lot more of the silver his body has in the movies, and that should draw out the great sculpt even more.
Basically I'm super satisfied with this guy, and I'm glad I went to the trouble of tracking him down. Just need to wait for the new Bee and Megatron to go with him!
Also sorry again, I have no clue why I can't upload pictures right side up. If you click on them I think they show up correctly.

Didn't the first Barricade also have some minor licensing problems at some point back in 2007 or am I misremembering things?
