We've got more to add to the absolute tidal wave that has been TLK toy news today. This time we've got some additional images of everyone's favorite Predator-looking lad, One Step Beserker! Via an Amazon listing for the currently unavailable figure, we have new stock photography as well as confirmation the B-zerk is indeed Gamma Ray, the last placeholder product code name. Other Amazon Listings also confirm that Pluto was one-step Megatron and Lunar eclipse was One Step Grimlock. Check out the new photos below, featuring his slightly more generic, unlicensed vehicle mode!

Soooo... I just returned from my local Toys'R'Us. Here was my experience:
Walking down the aisle, I saw they did in-fact have the Voyagers and Knight Armor Turbo Changers , as well as the voice changer helmet. I grabbed both voyager Optimus and Grimlock, went to the register, and the cashier told me she couldn't sell me them. I was very puzzled. According to Toys'R'Us, they are street dated for June 23rd, the day the movie comes out. I said to her it must be a mistake. She got the attention of the manager, and sure enough, he confirmed in the system it said all of their Last Knight merchandise was street dated for June 23rd. I brought up the post on here and other websites regarding the April 24th street date release, as well as made the argument if everything was street dated for June 23rd... why are all the toys on the shelves ready to sell? The manager agreed it was odd and looked into the matter more. Thankfully, he apologized for the confusion and gave the cashier the okay to sell me both.
It also seems like Target and Wal-Marts still haven't gotten the memo in my area yet either. The Target and Wal-Mart nearest me having nothing Last Knight related. My area being South Florida. Did the street date get pushed back? or is Kremzeek running around causing havok?https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/posting.php?mode=reply&f=4&t=107247#
Anyone else run into a similar issue?

Thanks for sharing your experience, it is odd. It looks like an error in dates since there have been several TRU stores that show a April 24th street date (mine did) when scanning the box. What is weird to me is that it means the coding of the cash terminals is not centralized. or else everyone would be showing the same date.
Which toys did you buy? and remember to share your thoughts here when you get the chance.

Yep, not a single figure at any Targets in my area (outside of one my friend is checking at for me, but there's a good chance all the Last Knight stuff is gone) or my Toys R Us. Since I'm in a different state tomorrow I figured I'd check my hometown - Target only had Bee left (called a couple hours after they opened) and Toys R Us hadn't opened their boxes yet. They offered to call me back once they did, and I asked them to if they had the voyager Optimus. They finally called after maybe 15 minutes - no Prime. Then they called back again and said they found one. The woman on the phone seemed a bit reluctant - something about hold policy - but said she'd hold onto him for me and I'll do my best to get over there in the morning. I'll take a couple pictures once I (hopefully) open him up.
Today's been a frustrating mess of checking 5 different stores with no luck, I'm glad something went right, even if awkwardly so.

I for one will not be buying a single toy from this line and personally i think everyone should boycott it, these prices are ridiculous and have no justification. Clearly this is hasbro trying to take advantage of its consumer again, it would be one thing if the quality was better but from what ive seen and heard its not. Plus if these sell i guarantee the rest of the other lines will be repriced to match effectively screwing over a lot of people.

Posted by william-james88 on April 24th, 2017 @ 1:39pm CDT
Haha, and better yet, several are the exact same toys we have already gotten.
I am still buying them, but at a discount.
Also, boycotting a line could just send the message that TF toys dont sell which could end the line (which was almost the case back in 1993).
So at least by buying at a discount I am sending the message that I will buy your toys, but at a certain price.

My local Toys R Us only had Optimus and Grimlock. I picked up an Optimus, but I was looking forward to seeing Barricade. My area never has shit. I'm centuries ahead of everyone on the planet, but everyone around me is always 5 years behind everyone else. We still never got Titans Return Optimus or Megatron here.

I'm sure with these being widely distributed there will be plenty of sales just as there has been with RID & TR & Rescue Bots in the last year.
I will be getting the toys but not at the initial retail price while i'm waiting for the prices to drop a bit I'll be pondering some Japanese toys and some third party items i'd like to get such as Dream factory's Movie Bonecrusher leaderclass scale toy - which looks gorgeous.
But I recall how AOE Leader Optimus and Grimlock ended up being reduced to something like £16.99 & the First Edition one was out in Clearance places for under £20.00 so I can't see a reason to go running to the store - i'm sure the 1 steps will be on sale pretty quickly in the UK - heck they are on sale price already in America.
Titans Returns Dlx toys are supposed to be £19.99 - yet few stores sell them for that - I suspect the high prices won't last then they can mark them down as 30% or 50% off and be telling the truth about it.
Heck I'm mildly irked with myself for not waiting on TR Soundwave who is now £19.99 Cheaper than a Combiner Wars Skywarp is.
I think they will come down to £15.99 very quickly and then drop again to £12.50 later.
The only problem is sometimes a wave 1 item can be a swine to get cheap as the sales don't hit hard till wave 2 or 3. But usually the Amazon or ebay price has reduced by then so that compensates a lot.
If I find I have a Movie toy itch I can always buy some Wei Jiang Overscale Dinos or That Striker Prime I still don't have one of.
I'm actually much keener to get TR wave 4 anyway.

i dont see the point of griping or boycotting hasbro over the price hike. it isnt the first time this has happened. iirc deluxes used to be $7-10 in 2007 and then up to 15. so why start complaining now. it isnt gonna start a linewide price increase its just because of the movie and its "premier edition."
want cheaper prices go to walmart
they have deluxes for 15.83 and voyagers for 26. something
barricade can use his backpack as a shield but only with the circle gun thing applied

All four deluxes found in Newcastle, Indiana (the place that never gets anything)
Shockingly the price was only 15.99. For some reason they were still using their codenames.

Besides, going TakaraTomy would only be worse since the differences, if any, are negligible, and you'd have to pay an even higher price to get them.
I think someone mentioned the figures' prices are now on par with similar offerings like from Marvel or DC Comics, coincidentally the general packaging style in the same between them (boxed instead of carded).

can you take a pic, with a deatailed description of how to do it? We could then news it to show all the fans.
Those guys have a super odd distribution though. Something tells me several shipments were either delayed, lost or ignored and rotting somewhere because they didnt appear for long and stores are now moving on to the next wave.

Can confirm the difficulty of the stores around here. They don't have any labels created for the new toys, and they are not expecting a new TF shipment for 2 weeks.

Voyager Optimus purchased from Smyths and its awesome, by far the best mold so far.
Just need a more detailed leader class and its a winner.
Bumblebee,Barricade,Beserker and Voyager Grimlock all on sale.
Visit to Toys R us tomorrow to track down Voyager Megatron.

It's like the boiling frog story. Drop a frog in a pan of boiling water and he jumps straight out. Drop a frog in a pan of tepid water and slowly raise the heat to boiling, the frog will sit there and boil to death. We are the frog and Hasbro has been slowly raising the water temperaure over the years. While we've been getting hotter in our pans, and getting a little discomfort, it's only been small over a long time so we think it's not bad. But eventually, we really need to jump out of the pan.

I'm starting to think that the price increase is mainly in TRU's and online, as the Walmart and Target sightings I've been seeing have had no price increase. Which is similar to the titans return figures, which online and in TRU are like $16.99 but in walmart and target they are still hovering at $14.97

Yeah, you are both saying the same thing differently. Hasbro's MSRP has gone up, but its only a suggested price. TRU chose to go with it and Hasbro of course is going with it but Walmart and Target arent. What I think, for walmart's case, is that they simply didnt bother to change the price for the classes on their central pricing software or have accepted the loss of having a higher price to pay Hasbro but not wanting to pass it off to the consumer, thinking they will sell enough of these to still make a profit. But my gut feeling (looking at Walmart's international operations, which I know first hand) is that the price will be corrected and increase once they figure out that their cost is not the same.
Could be wrong and if I am, then happy hunting in the US

So I was just in contact with the 2 TRU's around my area: to add chaos to the toy street dates, their stock is street dated for May 5, and they are sticking to the "not put them out until this date" line.

I see, it is more of a fan mode than a hidden functionality. I thought it pegged in, from the way you were speaking.

No worries, I am still very happy you shared that, like that fans in thsi thread can do it too
And man, those street dates are all over the place. I like my Walmart's approach best: if they have it in stock, it goes on the shelves
They really dont seem to want to hold onto anything in a backroom unsold.

For those saying "just go online" part of the fun for me is "the hunt" which you don't get online. Sure you spend more... but we only get product sets like this once (maybe twice) a year. I think the biggest disappointment (besides the lack of stock at Target/Walmart) is the fact over half of "opening day" is repaints. In comparison to Combiner Wars launch, where I felt like a kid back in the 80s/90s again.
For what it's worth, the difference between Slash and Grimlock are night and day. But I'll admit there's still a charm to AoE Slash's neon colors.

I actually save when it comes to buying online. Bus fare is 2.50 a pop for an adult, so if I am only going toy hunting I am wasting 2.50 on possibly finding nothing, round trip it could cost me another 2.50 if I don't make my transfer in time and my ticket runs out.
I try to wait until I have enough things to get free shipping, but avoiding the hassle of buses/gas money ordering can be more efficient even with shipping.

Some new Transformers role play items have been discovered at a ToysRus in California. From what we can see both Optimus Prime and Bumblebee's swords are available in toy form. Have you ever wanted to whack someone with Optimus Prime's sword? Well now is your chance to pick up some foam weaponry.

True, there are those factors to consider. Not saying "the hunt" is feasible for everyone, but it's one of the few unique experiences to being a fan.

No worries. I just like pointing this out from time to time in hopes it will save people a couple bucks + some stress.

Depending on how things go this week I will probably pop in to Target to see if they have anything. They mostly never do but if I have the time why not? (I'm looking for some Titans Return Figures anyway)

Anyone who thought the Takara TLK 1 steps would be better painted? Well, too bad because they are the exact same POS as the Hasbro ones. I saw the pictures.

Were the AOE one steps better painted?
Also, I now have both One Step Hound and Barricade at Walmart for 0.00 dollars. They knew about the pricing error and didnt bother correcting it. But they didnt mind and neither did I (although this carelessness is really odd, I know they are a 230 Billion dollar business but they should care about losing money at some point).

Transformers fan John redcorn has gotten a hold of Transformers The Last Knight Voyager Megatron and shared his thoughts on the figure, confirmed a few facts and took quite a few images, all shown below.
The main fact that he confirmed is that the voyager figure does not have a faceplate gimick. The face/head is static aside from standard head articulation at the neck.
Here are his thoughts followed by images.

Haven't seen the movie, I have to say the bot mode does evoke a close resemblance based on previews, but it might be a bit too dark. I do dislike the yellow "drool" and plan on coloring the chin and leave the yellow bits for the teeth. I'll admit it is a bit dark but then again the movie shots that I have seen seem to present a darkish metal tone (not a big deal).
The alt mode (I guess) is pretty accurate but we haven't seen the movie representation yet. Overall I am liking how the Voyager figures (Prime and Megatron) are nailing it with accuracy. The figure has some good playability/durability. It is pretty thick, akin to the Galvatron figure. I can imagine throwing it around in a bin and it won't break. The transformation is very intuitive without being “dumbed down” by cheating.
But yeah, this figure was very impressive and it definitely will be THE Megatron for my movieverse collection. Don't get me wrong, I like the new ROTF Megatron but I think the new one is definitely a couple of notches better.

As a toy, this voyager is pretty damned cool. Not sold on the "Transformers" part, but thats a different thing entirely. It looks much more techno-organic than alien robot, a bit like a Giger design in some ways.

Cool. Size looks decent and not too scaled down when compared to previous voyager class figures. This is very likely to be my choice of main movie Megatron too.

If it had some bright colors the aesthetic might remind me of some of Marvel's late G1 or G2 designs. The G2 Cybertronians and Liege Maximo had that feel, I think.

This design does more have hints of Clench or even Stalker, yeah. Definitely missing some contrasting colours to bring out the depth of the design, too. Also a reason the robots look a bit... naff... on screen - they're often so dark you can't see what part is what.
