How to Get a Free Transformers the Last Knight Valvotron Toy

william-james88 wrote:As we already stated, Valvoline has a promotional caompaign in the US featuring an exclusive toy called Valvotron. We now know the details on how to get this figure. What you need to do is buy 5 quarts of any Valvoline Full Synthetic Motor Oil and then upload your receipt on the website getvalvotron.com (which is not live yet). Then you can get this toy for free. There is a limit of 2 per person. This info comes from Driftx3, a user at TFW2005, who took an image of the promotional campaign details.

Can you buy the oil, get the figure, then return the oil?

I dont see why not. especially when they dont need your actual receipt.

So ... who do I have to be nice to to get a Valvotron?

As I am due for an oil change, and my Dad's truck should be too, If you are reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally nice, I can think about it

FYI, the oil change is another thing, it doesnt gurantee you a toy. For the free toy you need to buy synthetic oil and upload a receipt.

Yeah I know, it was more I actually am in need.

And since it is an actual valvoline store, I am most likely out. nearest one is 2 hours away

Why not do it the "abuse the system but still legal" Willy J way? Buy the synthetic oil from Walmart, upload the receipt and then bring the oil back to walmart?

Great signature pic by the way, that green was captured gorgeously!

Also, stay away from Berserker, that toy is dreadful.

I got a G1 Galvatron whose lights and sounds work (but has a broken trigger). Just missing his handgun (has big orange cannon)

Has to be bought from a Valvoline store, and it requires a picture and the store codes for the valvoline store you bought it from

Why? It has nothing to do with the promotion I am referring to.
D-Max, as I said above, there are 2 seperate promotions for this toy. You are talking about the sweepstake, I am talking about the free figure at the other website that doesnt require an oil change. Please click my link to see how its a different promotion.

There are 2 ways to get this guy in the US.

What in the actual hell. They need to make up their damn minds, and I have yet to be convinced they aren't separate. TFW guys are swinging both ways too, so no one seems sure

There was some confusion over how one could aquire the Valvoline exclusive Valvotron figure as part of their Transformers: the Last Knight Promotion. While there is a sweepstake involving an oil change, you can also be sure to get this figure for free by showing proof of buying 5 quarts of Valvoline Full Synthetic Motor Oil. einhazard over at TFW got himself a mail coupon with all the details, which can be seen below. Mailing this coupon with the receipt of your required purchase is all you need to do to get your free figure (well, you will have to wait 8 weeks for it to ship to your house). This ticket was found at Fleet Farm.



Update: The website to upload the receipt is now live
https://team.valvoline.com/get/valvotron

They also have the best image yet of this figure (which seems to lack articulation)

Or you can just go here:
https://team.valvoline.com/get/valvotron
And upload an image of your receipt to redeem.

Dear Va'al

"Hey Mum I heard your promoting some oil company as a sponsor for the upcoming Last Knight movie and that they made a figure of you but it doesn't transform so it sucks, it looks like a hollow shampoo bottle so it probably sucks more, they got your name wrong which makes it actually suck more, your not even in the movie which makes your figure both unnecessary and suck, and finally you have no articulation which is utter suckery...

Your toy just sucks in general and you should feel bad for teaming up with an evil Prime.


With not so much love your son: Deadput

P.S here's the link to the website https://team.valvoline.com/transformers


In all seriousness though the website for Valvoline's Transformers sponsor site went up which talks about the limited edition promotional probably rare Va'alvotron transformer (Non)-Action figure.

Seibertronian Deadput has let us know that the official Valvotron part of the Valvoline website has been fully activated. The website, which can be found HERE, advertises how Valvoline is a great oil for your car and also how you can get a free Valvotron. It also has the section where you can go to get Valvotron. All you have to do is upload your receipt and tell them where you purchased your oil, and you are good to go! We also remind you there is a limit of 2 per customer. Head on over to the website and check it out, and start sending in your receipts for Valvotron!

Valvotron is a nice novelty - assuming I can find some way to get one from the UK.

I like the Black-Gold Nissan/Datsun I'm reminded of how Prowl in Alternators had a disguise mode - and also how the Japanese had a Gold and red Lambor KO - that would work really well for the Nissan mould too as a Prowl or Silverstreak/Bluestreak KO with the Gold and Black. it also would be good for hate plague or electrum deco too or just as something similar to the Lucky draw toys.

I'd certainly consider that a fun thing worth doing officially or otherwise. I think the production run you need to pay for for something like that to get it made might make it a bit expensive and it might be a bit iffy to make a KO as a small convention exclusive.

But it's a fun idea.

I saw some Last Knight toys around and about today - unfortunately all really eye-wateringly expensive and mainly the lower end lines like Onesteps and Armour up 3 step changers.

I don't know if I'll even buy the Onesteps until they are Half price. and I may not buy the armour up changers at all. - Though that said Optimus is kinda O.K. I might buy them if they go on a good sale price and never open them and pick up some duplicates at a Bootsale to fiddle with at some point. I never bothered with the last Mpvie flipchangers either and I see them second hand quite a lot.

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.

Valvotron and the Valvoline promotion has its own topic now.

On that note, I bought 5 quarts of Valvoline at Walmart yesterday so I can give this a whirl. I still keep hoping the figure transforms, but it looks pretty obvious from the pics that it doesn't. ah well!

It doesnt seem to articulate more than a Titan Hero figure either

Seibertronians, we have more images of the TLK Valvoline promotional Valvotron figure! They're coming from two different sources today, one from Drew Merkel on twitter and an EBay listing for the figure. These additional photos show more angles of the toy, as well as the oil-can-shaped packaging he'll come in, which we've never seen before. There's also a Optimus Prime Standee that can be found in some Valvoline stores.

Check out the photos below!

Primus, I hope it doesn't transform because that soft plastic looks like it would be torn apart in the attempt. Did they use recycled Valvoline bottles?

All hail, valvotron!

zodconvoy wrote:Primus, I hope it doesn't transform because that soft plastic looks like it would be torn apart in the attempt. Did they use recycled Valvoline bottles?

Not only does it not transform but it doesnt even articulate much.

I'm still waiting for Vulvatron

Guess I was right about him being an Action Master. Even he doesn't transform into a gas canister, he definitely comes in one

Lol! It's his pretender shell!

Doesnt that make him more of a pretender then?

More like a Kinder Surprise Egg

I feel like this'll be a super easy figure to just buy off eBay for cheap. Giving away 5,000 of these as a prize is a pretty ridiculous number on its own, but then to give away more on top of that (probably quite a few more than the initial 5,000 since you can get two) with purchase means there'll be a ton of these out there. Can't imagine they'll all end up with kids and collectors initially, many of these are bound for eBay.

Ach dammit it can't transform


I wouldn't have minded a novelty figure that could transform into a container of oil

I wanted it till I figured out you can't transform it. Would have been neat if you could transform him into a bottle of valvoline and back. Seems to me this is a toy I'd want to keep in the package, and what is the point of a toy I can't play with? I know there are a lot of NIB collectors but I am not one of them. I like to open my toys, transform them and experience them.

Me too, especially Transformers since you need to open the package to experience the conversion, the essence of the toy.

But this isnt a toy you can play with, or pose. Its more of a collectable or like something from a souvenire shop.

While we thought the US would get all the Valvotron/Valvoline fun, it turns out Canada can join in on it too. They even made a French website to cater to Quebec and all it's language laws. Thats some nice effort. Below are images of what needs to be purchased to be eligible for the free figure (4.73 litres of synthetic oil) along with the 2 websites to go to depending on your language.

Canada English: http://valvoline.promo.eprize.com/valvo ... cale=en_CA

Canada French: http://valvoline.promo.eprize.com/valvo ... cale=fr_CA

EBay seller sertile has sent us more images of Valvotron from their listing. These pictures help us to see what the figure will look like from every angle. We can also see that this little fella is sporting some pretty cool shades! This figure is from a giveaway done by Valvoline oil.

Also if you are in Canada, a Valvorton giveaway has been made available!

Exactly what does he transform into again?

He doesn't actually transform, but based on the kibble he would transform into one these:

Disappointment

Came home Tuesday to find Valvotron waiting for me and was like cool I got one. Came home today and there was another one. Did this happen to anyone else? Maybe they didn't get enough entries?

Ravage2031 wrote:Came home Tuesday to find Valvotron waiting for me and was like cool I got one. Came home today and there was another one. Did this happen to anyone else? Maybe they didn't get enough entries?

Could you upload some photos and let us know how you entered for the figure? We'd like to make a news post!

Didn't get one 3 days in a row. Entered using the 3 × 5 index card. One per household.

A number of Seibertronians, including Ravage2031 below, have been notifying us about the Valvoline tie-in product for Transformers: The Last Knight - the mighty, non-transforming Valvotron - arriving in the post! The delivery seems fairly erratic though, as there were many ways to apply for one, and multiple appear to show up per household even where the limit was one. Check it out below!

Good Day My Fellow

I just received in the mail to my Transformers The Last Knight Valvotron for the promotion from Valvoline. Placed my rebate on 5/1/2017 so it took 2 1/2 months to receive it. I have taken some pictures of what the figure looks like in its white Valvoline shipping box, the figure and the exclusive Autobot and Valvoline stickers. For those that were hoping for a transformable robot to bottle of oil figure your dreams are dashed. Its just a block bot. Is it worth the $25.00 bucks for the synthetic oil to get this figure well I guess that all up to you.Enjoy.


KRAPICON

The Valvoline campaign had a few differences in Canada where everyday one would have a digital scratch off to see if they won. Well, many did and the prizes are finally being shipped out. The prizes included lunchboxes, shirts, subway gift cards and Racecar driver bobble-heads. Images of some of these prizes (won by yours truly) can be found below. Valvotron himself has yet to be received by anyone in Canada but it should be any day now.

So America got Valvatron and Canada got a bobble head of some random race car driver? And I thought we had it bad lol...

Jesus Christ that bobblehead is some cursed idol sh!t right there aaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
