Transformers The Last Knight Hot Rod News: One Step 2 Pack Found in UK and Price Decrease for Legion

Posted by william-james88 Sep 26, 2017 at 8:23pm CDT 20,268 views
Transformers: The Last Knight has not only come and gone from the movie theatre but it has now arrived to home video and certain toys from the toyline are still yet to be found. One of those is the one step two pack and while it still hasn't been found in the US, it has now been found in the UK at Asda (the UK counterpart to Walmart). It was first announced with all the other Hot Rod toy announcements and you can see an official image below to remind you of which molds these are. Hot Rod is once again using a mold previously used by Lockdown here. The sighting comes to us from Oliver Brownridge.

On other Last Knight Hot Rod toy news, the legion class toy is currently available on walmart.com for $4.57 over 50% less than the original price tag of $9.99.

This reminds me: has anyone at Hascon mentioned anything about the distribution issues with the last wave of figures? I'm worried that this would end up like the DOTM fiasco all over again, even if some fans got a hold of Cogman, Bee, and Hot Rod.

I was at the local Meijer store today, and they got discount tags on everything: Buy 2, get 1 half off for voyagers, buy 3 get one free (I think, might have been half off) for deluxes. They're trying to clear inventory, so I'm thinkin' they're either about to get the next wave in or they're just desperate to unload what they got. It's all Slash, Berserker, first-wave Bee, etc. I get groceries there all the time so I check whenever I'm in. If I see Cogman or the other no-shows I'll def post in the sightings. No price changes at Target, Wally World, or TRU so far.

I am wondering if I shouldn't just buy my TLK Figures from Takara.. Anyone able to put a list together of the best of Hasbro VS Takara Tomy on this line? I'd love to go down the list and pick the best either USA or Japanese releases.. :APPLAUSE:

You should look more into this. The TLK line from Takara itself offers the exact same figures as the Hasbro ones, they just cost more for us to import. But its the same figures with packaging and everything. All the different ones you see, like the Nemesis is not part of the TLK line. They are part of another line called Movie the Best, not related to it. You can visit the link I wrote above to learn more about that line.


I feel so silly..I can't believe I read the title different. Sheesh. I've been collecting far too long to not have noticed. Thanks. I didn't realize the Nemesis was in that line up. Seems appropriate tho now you mention it. Appreciate the link. ;)^

Is it just me or do the Bumblebee and Hot Rod in the two pack look like new molds?

Re: Asda
If anyone doesn't know (like me until recently) you can do Click n Collect on Asda stuff online to have it shipped for free to your local Asda if your local one doesn't have the figures in stock or if it's a smaller store that doesn't stock action figures at all. It's how I got Deluxe Hot Rod last week. :)

They are. But they are based on the flip-N-change Lockdown. I'm not sure if Bee is a new remold because there was a FnC Bee in AoE, but Hotrod definitely is.

Bumblebee is his old one, and Hotrod is a new-head redeco of Lockdown. In the two-pack we are currently discussing, Bumblebee is a redeco and Hot Rod is a new mold that shares a transformation scheme with Lockdown, Crosshairs and Stinger.

Whatever happened to the Legion Class two-pack of Hot Rod and Bumblebee? Did that get quietly canned?

Maybe regionally, but we do have photo evidence that those toys were released out there.

After the first sightings in Walgreens for the One Step subline from Transformers: The Last Knight, regular news source Scottimus Prime has sent us a sighting for the Cogman, Drift and Scorn wave in Toys'R'Us too! This particular sighting is from Lake Grove, New York - if you come across any others, please make sure to use the Sightings Database to register your own spotting of the figures!

Found Scorn and Nitro Zeus at a Walmart near me. Nice to see that they're in stores and available at a closer place. All I need to do is hide at least NZ so I can get him later on! I'll wait for Scorn on another day.

According to online retailer Amazon.com, the supposedly Walmart exclusive Transformers: The Last Knight Hot Rod (from the Autobots Unite sub-line) is actually not that exclusive after all, as it was listed here (though currently unavailable, at the time of writing) for general retail release and pricing - and packaging. Check out the images below!

Ok, this is very weird at best. The Product Number is off. The listing has C4058, but the original releases in Asia have C2019 stamped on the toys, meaning they should be considered two different products altogether.
It could very well be a redeco, or a separate general retail release among the likes of RiD Starscream. Or just a goof.

I'm sorry I got confused. I thought the stock image was of the Legion two pack, not the one-step changers. I didn't know they were coming

I wonder if this was a backup plan, in case Walmart dropped the subline as an exclusive. The packaging is standard TLK packaging-Autobots Unite has its own logo and shows both 'Bee and Hot Rod on the front, with Bee actually more prominent.

So either Hasbro had him as a backup plan, or always planned to release him at retail later on.

Weird...I've been checking Amazon for quite awhile for this. The only deluxe Hot Rod listed was and still is available is from the Asia market and priced at $100+.
