Transformers: The Last Knight Launch Event Held in Mexico, Will be Traveling the Country

As news team member, I am intrigued. Are we sure this is a mistake and not a surprise reveal of an upcoming redeco?

I feel it's very possible it's an exclusive. Not a very good one, but an exclusive nonetheless.

Oh, well make sure you quote where it comes from. I was confused as hell as to what you were talking about.

And I doubt this is some sort of upcoming figure. the thing has voyager Megs pictures as a legion class figure. It's just wack

Easy mistake to make with multiple figures name "Megatron" in the line. Same for "Optimus Prime"

FINALLY found some TLK toys at my local TRU, but they didn't have Slash or deluxe Barricade, but they did have baby barricade, so I bought him in a heart beat. I couldn't leave empty handed! And he's a stellar little figure, but he's not barricade. The face, the body style, it just doesn't work, Plus I fully intend to get Deluxe Barricade. So, what to do? I thought about using him just as aligned Prowl (as he IS smokescreen, after all) but the gleaming makes that a bit hard, so I give you...



Roadblock (ha), Barricade's annoyingly dedicated tiny deputy that always wants to tag along on patrols.

Plus he can do the smooth criminal!!!

Forgot I have that mold in my box of figures I don't particularly need to keep.

Maybe mine here is Smokescreen before obsessing about Barricade enough to turn into your 'Roadblock'.

It's Monday morning, a week after the street date, and Walmart still doesn't have anything, not even shelf space set aside to put them on.

BTW, I doubt a knockoff Optimus Prime would have such intricate flame work or leave the clear panels intact on the top of the truck hood and roof. Very strange looking figure, and a strange choice to go with DotM (why not Evasion Prime or the new Voyager?). The way it's painted almost makes it look like it's being shot back into the Earth's atmosphere from space.

The New Optimus Sword and shield is interesting even if the deco isn't especially tasteful.

That is an awesome idea! Neat, and a little bad-guy deputy never hurt anyone!

Now I'm going to need to do this with my Smokescreen

So I as had a zillion transformers as kids and just now got back into collecting them now that my kids are old enough to have fun with them. Somehow I dropped like $100 bucks on them on impulse over the weekend, lol.

In the past, what was the time frame for the next wave of figures up to the movie release? I'm guessing (hoping) the next wave would be in May sometime then the rest to coincide with the film release?

Some websites state the date of the next wave sometime in May.

First, WELCOME!

Second, if you are new to collecting and love the Movie lines, try out your local online classified. You can have LOADS of bayformers for cheap.

Thanks to Seibertronian Fc203 we have a new Transformers: The Last Knight commercial, featuring Armor Knight Bumblebee! The commercial shown was video recorded, but still captures the commercial pretty well. It features Bumblebee in a stylish-car-commercial type of video, showing off his vehicle mode from different angles with different lighting before going to bot mode. Armor Knight Optimus Prime also appears at the end. This video comes courtesy of Fc203 on youtube and can be viewed below for your pleasure! Let us know what you think of it in the comments section below!

The first thing that commercial reminded me of was this other commercial:

Will Voyager Megatron, Hound, and deluxe Skweeks come out soon, or will they come out at the same time as the movie this summer?

Those 3 are the ones I want the most.

Sometime in May was said for Wave 2. I'd like those three as well.

I really want Sqweeks as well. It'll be interesting to compare the distribution of these upcoming waves to Generations/TR. Will they be better distributed because they're movie toys and they have priority and they're truly how Hasbro makes it's money?

Think of it more as a hypothetical "Masterpiece MP-17A Prowl Animated Colors Ver."

Pretty neat commercial. Still a kid's toy thought. Not my thing but I would assume it would be fun for some to play with.

After hearing about several things potentially related to a Toys R Us exclusive toyline for The Last Knight, it seems as though we finally have some solid information regarding this new "Mission to Cybertron" stuff! The Toys R Us Movie HQ Website has updated with new information regarding Mission to Cybertron. While no toys are mentioned here outright, it does give a lengthy description regarding what the Mission is, while also showing us the full poster of artwork previously revealed.

You can check out the website by following the link above. You can also read up on the Mission to Cybertron below along with the full artwork, mindful that there are potential spoilers!

Ok, so here are my thoughts on Berserker.

So, definitely the weakest of the 3 wave 1 guys I purchased. He is not bad, but he is beneath Barricade and Prime. The robot mode is awesome and I love looking at it. The alien head and dreads are really cool and the chest looks pretty sweet as well. The legs are pretty cool too and I love that the figures in this line seem to be taking heel spurs seriously. He is pretty stable and fun to pose. His weapons are pretty sweet too. Transformation is difficult because the arms and legs just don't want to behave themselves when hooking up, but it has gotten a bit easier with several transformations. Alt mode is pretty nice, and I appreciate the fact that they are painting all the windows and lights or using translucent plastic for all of them on these figures. the gaps between arms and legs are a detriment, and it feels a bit small, like the robot was good but the alt mode needed to be voyager sized. But he is an alright figure, though I recommend Barricade as the best of wave 1.

I was gonna get Berserker just for his predator robot mode anyways but probably when i find him cheaper. I like Barricade a lot especially since being told his backpack can be taken off and used like a riot shield but my fave of wave 1 is easily Optimus Prime. Only niggle I have with him is kinda tricky to get the front panels of the truck all lined up but I mostly have him in robot mode anyways and I'm quite enjoying painting up extra and correct details on him and awaiting the hopefully inevitable reprolabels for all those missing robot mode flames.

So this "poster" mentions Cybertron could also Transform.

Does this mean that Cybertron is the planet in the trailers? Could also be a reason why it looks Different in 2007 compared to DOTM

I wonder how much articulation he has. Probably not a lot.

I was initially going to make fun of this but then i realized it may ACTUALLY transform into a bottle of motor oil!! Now i like it and want one.

Vulvatron will be mine.

PS- just cheked it out and filled out a bunch of false info to eventually learn the offer is only available in the States. Super lame.

Which Optimus Prime are you guys talking about?

The voyager?

Logical because it's a new mold and the only one worthy of discussion.

RAR wrote:Speaking of Movie toys - has anyone noticed how expensive Movie ROTF Leader Jetfire has gotten recently ? even ones with bits missing are going for decent prices - bit of a puzzle I thought.

Makes perfect sense since the Leader Optimus that it connects with has been rereleased a ton of times (and the best version got released this year) that many people are catching up and buying a jetfire to go with it.

Recent Images of Voyager Hound from Transformers the Last Knight have appeared on Forbidden Planet's listings show a slight change in his deco. Both in the robot mode and vehicle mode, we can see that the Red Cross emblem has been removed. We do not know if this is to due to an anticipated license that did not go through or Red Cross calling it out or Hasbro just being preventive. We do know that he has this emblem in the movie so this is toy specific and it now makes the toy less acurate to his screen deco.

well that sucks

The Red Cross is really overly protective of their trademark.

it almost ruins the whole figure

Bumblebee21 wrote:it almost ruins the whole figure

...how?

Interesting that they used the MP Ratchet style cross and still removed it. Too bad.

That looks terrible.

In Reprolabels we trust.

because thats one of the main things about tlk hound. and its gone now

In some of the recent trailers the updated shots of Hound also has the red cross removed from his robot mode.

So this probably is not only the toys but Hound in the film as well I knew this would happen eventually.

Yep you can bet they'll sort it. I'm keenly waiting for them to release voyager Optimus Prime flame stickers.

Thanks, I was basing my analysis on the official shots of Hound so far. I had not noticed that it was removed from the recent trailers as well.

And Bumblebee21, while it doesnt ruin the figure to me, it does take away some nice detail that broke up all the same coloured plastic.

I'm probably in the minority, but I think removing the only uses of those colors makes it look superior. The shade of green and stark white really don't mix, at least in my opinion.

after hearing what deadput said it might not make me make anymore

... Gotta be honest, from the pictures I thought this was the turbo changer. That is not the greatest deco.

Thought it was odd to give him medical symbols but then again he's probably going to do more medical work than ratchet did.

better take them out of the movie too. we dont want people to get offended.

Prowl4 wrote:Thought it was odd to give him medical symbols but then again he's probably going to do more medical work than ratchet did.

I know head canon's are not true and all but I just chalk it up to Ratchet getting rusty (literally) in his hands from age like from the MTMTE comics so he isn't as good as he used to be so I consider Ratchet to be more of a "knowledge" type doctor who tells you what your symptoms are and not as much as a physical one who saves your life.

What we do know is in movie 1 Ratchet's analysis of Bee's voicebox as well as Sam's uh pheromones, talked about the consequences of Optimus merging his Spark with the Allspark and presumably helped fix Bee's legs, In ROTF He told Jolt what to do with Optimus and Jetfire (in the novel he does the work himself) and he probably checked up on Prime after he died, In DOTM he provided analysis on Sentinel's state while on the moon with Optimus and presumably fixed Prime's arm after the movie.


So the problem isn't really that Ratceht doesn't do medical work but that most of hands on work takes place off screen and when it does it's not obvious lets hope Hound does otherwise in this movie.
