Transformers: The Last Knight Turbo Changer Hound and Legion Hot Rod at Chilean Retail

Posted by Va'al Dec 8, 2017 at 11:34am CST 19,123 views
Good news South American fans! Via Facebook group Transformers Chile, we have images of new sightings of some Transformers: The Last Knight figures which have had a troublesome history at States retail: Turbo Changer Knight Armor Hound and the Autobot Unite exclusive (but not really) Legion class Hot Rod, along with Legion Crosshairs and Drift.

The bulky (geddit) simplified toy rang up at 19990 Chilean pesos (approx 30.5 USD) while the smaller ones 5990 (9 USD), and Heht Rehd a slightly higher price of 6990 (10 USD). The former three were all found at Falabella de Paseo Puente, in Santiago Centro, whereas Hurht Rohrd was spotted in the Supermercado Líder de General Velasquez (Santiago Central Station). Check out the images below, and make sure to use the Sightings Database for any sightings of your own, too!

Eh, I used to own this guy. This mold suck mighty ass though.

As for altmode, Megatron can never settle on one form. He's like a prima-diva with a huge walk-in and change shoes to match his purse. Through the universes, Starscream was always a type of fighter jet. So I do hope the trend will remain.

:-?

If they release a Starscream Titan Master, I know what to do................

Finally got TLK Deluxe Cogman. I quite like it, except for the obvious unpainted parts. Those are pretty garish because they are surrounded with well painted parts. So I used a silver Testor paint pen and a Tamiya black water wash. That's it. This is the result:

What do you guys think?

So i landed myself a Cogman finally (funny enough, I didn't know I was getting the Takara packaged one. He even came with both paper and laminated directions!). Overall, he is a pretty good figure. The paint work on him is spectacular! And I love the Headmaster. The transformation feels like TLK Barricade mixed with AoE Ninja Bee, and it is quite satisfying.

The bummer though, and the reason I am not more excited for him:
Image

Very first transformation, the crotch piece broke. Very first piece I went to transform. it sucks. But if it weren't for that piece, I would sing his praises. Probably the best deluxe of the line, though he competes some with Sqweeks there. I'll need to take some more pictures of him later with the Autobot crew from the knight trilogy (or at least what is supposed to be a knight trilogy)

On the subject of Mr Cogman, has anybody in Australia or New Zealand spotted him yet?. I've been scouring every supplier I know of and have only found the wave 3 bots. :-(

Cogman is an exclusive to the most random store you will never expect to find him.
No, seriously.

Don't take any chances. Pay 10$ more than retail and import him. He's very, VERY worth it.

OOOOOOooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well well well, seem like it's only 5ish bucks more instead. So don't wait:

I might just have to take you up on that offer, Cogman is the one figure in this line I can't afford to miss!

Not only you will have it 5$ cheaper than me, I'm pretty sure you Aussies are used to pay insane price for about everything. So that Cogman may be at (almost) exactly retail price for you, including taxes.

EDIT:
If you are not Australian, please move over there ASAP so I don't look like a fool. :HEADHURTS:

Haha! I come from the land down under NZ, not Aussie! :twisted: Moving on, I can confirm the pricing here is indeed insane, this Cogman ain't to far off what I usually pay though.

Eh, close enough! :lol:

Too bad deluxe Cogman suffer from the "tail line" syndrome.
Still, it could have been worse. It could have been like this trio of deluxes from DOTM: Soundwave, Q, and Leadfoot.

Image

All 3 had very limited release in non-Japan Asia only. At the time, and mostly today, Deluxe Soundwave and Leadfoot have insane prices. Like 100-200$ insane.

Poor Leadfoot, Both Que and Soundwave got there molds released in later lines, but he's still stuck in 2011 with the rest of the wreckers

I got my Cogman from China too. I have yet to see a deluxe past wave 1 anywhere here, and most likely won't.

As for these 3, I got Que on Amazon for $27 back at the end of 2011, and I love him, one of my favorite movie deluxes actually, and he is my 2nd favorite DotM figure after Topspin. Never saw the other 2 for a decent price ever. Just had to use my RotF Soundwave and HA Leadfoot.

I hate tail enders and the difficulty with getting them, especially when they are figures I would prefer to get over beginning of the liners

Finally decided to get myself a TLK voyager Scorn despite having the stellar AoE deluxe. But guess what? Voyager Scorn ROCK! Simple but clever transformation, beautiful all over, and the dino mode is HUGE. :APPLAUSE:

He has made my life difficult with choosing the best TLK figure. But he is awesome, and I am glad others find him as awesome. The dino mode is huge and awesome! And the robot mode is pretty beefy too

Make me wonder why I waited for so long to get him.

Just as an update, every single Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys R Us near me is STILL stuck at Wave 1. I've never seen a wave two or onward deluxe. Period. Save for my three previous purchases (Nitro Zeus, Slash and Barricade), I might be forced to miss out on this entire line. And trust me, that is not what I would have chosen to do.

For anyone like Bronzewolf and I who have struggled to see anything past wave 1, keep an eye on local stores. One Walmart 40 minutes away got the wave 2 deluxes yesterday, it's the first time I have seen them in stores:

Image

I decided to pick up Steelbane because they had him and I wanted to support wave 2, which was out of Drifts and there was still a mountain of wave 1 sitting on top of the shelf.

He is very substandard. Robot mode is pretty sweet with the knight look that I like, but his alt mode just shouldn't exist. Mine had a floopy right shoulder and ankle, but after moving them a little bit, they tightened up, though I still added some tissues to the joints.

Probably should have just passed, but, finally saw wave 2

Just now noticed that the same sale that had TR Overlord on Amazon for $30 also had TLK Voyager Megatron for only $16.13.

Still available for the next 45 minutes. Only came to $17 after tax for me. :D

The best voyager of the line at that price?
Anyone who don't have him yet shouldn't miss out.
