Transformers The Last Knight Leader Megatron Optional Faceplate Feature and More Images

You know, that is pretty awesome that they are incorporating a Faceplate. And the kibble actually looks like it stows away pretty well!

I like it when wings integrate neatly into a robot mode or as in the case here fold up all tidy out of the way. I have a slight hatred of jet/spaceship TFs where the wings stick out all crazy in robot form.

This Megatron looks gorgeous. But I may have to go with the Voyager due to cost and size.

this looks pretty cool, wished it was a lighter grey/ silver though, like some earlier pics i seen.

How the hell does it transform? That is amazing. And i love the horns on the side of the head.

Wow! Even though the one they show in Wonderfest is a finished product, but good ol' Megatron still looks great! Even the wings can fold up & align with each other, which successfully makes them hidden (which 2007 Leader Class Megatron failed to do so, but I don't blame the designers as the wings are part of his Automorph Technology gimmick). However one thing about his faceplate: aren't the tusks on the sides of his head supposed to flip to the front to cover up the face?? Well, even the faceplate on the toy is a separate piece, I still hope managed to give the tusks some articulation to do so or the faceplate will be deemed incomplete...

Here's a comparison of his concept art & his toy form:

We have some god news and bad news for the collectors who saw Hasbro's The Last Knight Premier toys and were waiting to see the Takara versions to see how they wold be improved. The good news is that Takara now has promotional images for the toys as well as a whole section fo their site now live to promote them. The bad news is that there is not much improvement, if any. Below you will see images of :

TLK 01 Bumblebee
TLK 02 Decepticon Beserker
TLK 03 Dinobot Slash
TLK 04 Grimlock
TLK 05 Speed Changes Bumblebee
TLK 06 Speed Changes Optimus Prime
TLK 07 Speed Changes Barricade
TLK 08 Speed Changes Hound

Also, we have images of their Premier Voyager Prime courtesy of the Japan Toysrus website. It appears to be a Toysrus Exclusive (like the White Voyager Prime from the last film). It too shows barely any improvement over the Hasbro version and is priced at ¥ 4,499 ($40 USD!). While this may confuse many, please remember that when it comes to mainline movie toys, the Takara version of Hasbro toys rarely offers much improvement. Any major improvement is usually done through a special distinctive subsequent release. This has been the case since 2007. This should also dispel any misconceptions that the price of Takara products is related to their deco. Unlike Age of Extinction, the Takara movie line for The Last Knight will have all toys under the same TLK banner, mixing in simpler and more complex toys. The date given for TLK 01-08 is an end of April release.








































And here is Hasbro's Premier Bee for comparisons,

Which difference are you referring to? I cant tell the differences on em.

The new Takara website section that is promoting The Last Knight toys has updated with some new images of packaging art for Hound, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Barricade! These new images show the character's new looks, with Bee getting an updated alt mode and reverting back to a more Dark of the Moon styled body, while Barricade takes up his new look as the bad boy Decepticon cop that looks a little more human than his previous appearance. Looking close, it is also interesting to note that Barricade has replaced his "To Punish and Enslave" with "To Protect and Serve" in his robot mode as well, and we get a good close-up of his new brass knuckles.

Check out the packaging art below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Still amusing that Bumblebee turned into a stinger knock-off then changed back to his normal look.

Am I the only one who wishes that they had made Barricade as a new character? He only superficially resembles his previous robot mode. Even when Optimus changed bodies between DOTM and AOE, he was still instantly recognizable in robot mode.
