I have not heard anything, but I assume if they sell well there will be. I think the Kreo minifigs were a success so there might be a correlation here.

Ok so Megs was called Megatron in the first three movies and then he was called Galvatron in the fourth and now he's back to Megatron again.Is there a reason for this or is Micheal Bay that inconsistent. :-?

Technically Galvatron in Age of Extinction was not Megatron. He was engineered from the remains of Megatron, but was not supposed to be him.

Megatron's consciousness however re-emerged, and took over the new Galvatron body.

He was called Galvatron, because the humans that created him in the movie called him that. At the end of AOE Megatron's persona had completely returned and he was once again Megatron.

So there is an in story reason for why he was Galvatron, and is now again Megatron. Though how they will write away the Transformium from AOE, since he doesn't seem to be able to turn into a cloud of tiny cubes now, is yet to be seen. Or maybe I've missed that explanation somewhere.

We have some new info regarding the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline from TFW2005 regarding the case breakdown of each wave and the product SKUs. We also have some official images of one step Grimlock, Turbo Changer Megatron and the tiny Turbo Changers. All the product listings are still coe names but we will tell you who is in the wave for you to maybe piece it together. Let us know what you come up with.

All this info comes from the now taken down listings found on Southernhobby's website.

The case breakdown shows that no toy is shortpacked. All cases are evenly spread.

Transformers: The Last Knight Toyline Wave 1

Armor Up Turbo Changers* (SKU: HSBC0886AS00)

C1317AS00 TRA MV5 TURBO CHANGER JUPITER x 1
C1318AS00 TRA MV5 TURBO CHANGER MOON x 1
C1319AS00 TRA MV5 TURBO CHANGER SATURN x 1

This includes Optimus, Bumblebe and Megatron (pictured below)

1-Step Turbo Changers (SKU: HSBC0884AS00)

C1311AS00 TRA MV5 1 STEP GAS GIANT x 2
C1312AS00 TRA MV5 1 STEP FOUR MOONS x 2
C1313AS00 TRA MV5 1 STEP MARS x 2
C1314AS00 TRA MV5 1 STEP SUPERNOVA x 2

This includes Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade, Hound

Tiny Turbo Changers (SKU: HSBC0882AS00)

C0882AS00 TRA MV5 TINY TURBO CHANGERS x 24

Deluxe Class (SKU: HSBC0887AS00)

C1320AS00 TRA MV5 PRE DLX GAS GIANT x 2
C1321AS00 TRA MV5 PRE DLX MARS x 2
C1322AS00 TRA MV5 PRE DLX GAMMA RAY x 2
C1323AS00 TRA MV5 PRE DLX SHOOTING STAR x 2

This includes Bumblebee, Barricade, Beserker and Slash

Legion Class (SKU: HSBC0889AS00)

C1326AS00 TRA MV5 LEGION FOUR MOONS x 2
C1327AS00 TRA MV5 LEGION GAS GIANT x 2
C1328AS00 TRA MV5 LEGION LUNAR ECLIPSE x 2
C1329AS00 TRA MV5 LEGION MARS x 2

This includes Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Barricade

Voyager Class (SKU: HSBC0891AS00)

C1333AS00 TRA MV5 PRE VOYAGER LUNAR ECLIPSE x 1
C1334AS00 TRA MV5 PRE VOYAGER JUPITER x 1

This includes Optimus Prime and Grimlock

We also have these listings from Takara which show that in their line, deluxe Barricade has the Mars codename.

Image

It is unknown if the codenames for the Takara line line up with the Hasbro line and if the code name remains the same for the same character throughout all classes and toy lines. We know it is not the case with Optimus since he is both Four Moons and Jupiter (we assume). But if you assume that Mars for Takara is also Mars for Hasbro and that it is also Mars for the MPM line, then it could very well be that the MPM release we do not know about yet is Barricade. Let us know what you think.

Here are the latest official images:

He called himself "Galvatron" in the movie, though.

"I am Galvatron!"

I always felt that was piss poor writing or the branding team trying way too hard. Why would he call himself what the humans call him, he hates them.

Well, we're never actually told how the humans came up with the name. Suppose that Megatron secretly fed them the name behind the scenes, without their knowing of his influence in crafting the name. After all, Joshua wanted to make Galvatron look like Optimus, but why would he give an Optimus lookalike a name that is vaguely reminiscent of Megatron? ;)

UK store Smyths put a bunch of listings up for Movie toys :

(With the names and images)

It's strange how we saw Barricade so early when he's not in the 1st wave.

I'm just waiting for the voyager Optimus. I don't know about Megatron, we'll have to see how he is later on. This might be the first voyager Megatron/Galvatron I've skipped since the first film.


And I too am dissapointed in Galvatron going back to Megatron. As a Galvatron fanboy, I was expecting him to change bodies, but at least keep the name for this trilogy. Please let him still be voiced by Frank Welker though.

Argos has the voyagers listed for £32.99 each?

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/6734909

and £24.99 for that crappy repaint Bee (and the other deluxes)? The good version only cost me £9.99 a couple years ago and included a lil generations G1 Bee as a bonus.

What is 'Premier Edition' other than rip off prices?

It just refers to the normal, non-simplistic toys of the line.

WHY ARE THESE TOYS SO EXPENSIVE?

Economics, you're paying more for the packaging, especially since the Deluxe Class figures come in boxes too instead of on cards.

Can I blame it on brexit and go punch someone to make me feel a lil better?

I highly suspect these will get a rapid price drop shortly into their release like all the other movie lines. They start high and then go back to "normal" prices as a "sale".
