Fellow Seibertronian Qwan has a breakdown of most price points part of the Transformers: the Last Knight toyline in Australia. These are in Australian dollars.
Qwan wrote:A new department store just opened up in my area yesterday, and naturally I went in to check the Transformers they had. No new figures unfortunately, but I did find a bunch of price tags for TLK stuff (the actual prices are covered by green "product temporarily unavailable" tags, but you can totally see through those). So whether it's news or not, I can confirm the prices for Last Knight stuff in Australia (plus confirm which sizes will definitely be showing up at mass retail - there might be more than these but the classes here are basically confirmed for mass retail release)!
Legion: $8 ($1 less than the current RiD Legion figures!)
Premiere Deluxe: $29 ($4 more than TR Deluxes, same price as RiD Warrior)
Voyager: $49 (same as TR Voyagers)
"Armour Asst" (Armour Up figures?): $39
12" Titan Changers: $25
"Tango Bumblebee"?: $49
Turbo Changers: $19

Fellow Seibertronian Deadput has shared with us a link to old friends Transformers Dioramas in Brazil, who have covered the 34th Toy Fair for Latin America (ABRIN 2017) - and we get a look at even more packaging and size comparisons for upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movie toys! Including the likes of Sqweeks, Megatron, Barricade, Dinobots Slug and Slash, Optimus Prime and his gigantic backpack, Leader Megatron in all modes, and much more, the full post with gallery and Portuguese descriptions can be found here, and a selection of images are mirrored below!

Via another Seibertronian, MadProject, we have one new image of a previously only glimpsed Decepticon character in Transformers: The Last Knight's toy line-up: Voyager class Nitro! The image, found on Weibo, seems to come from an instruction sheet, and has very little details other than the black and white rendering of the toy. Nonetheless, check it out below!

Why are they pairing up the voyager prime with leader megatron? they should pair the same size class so we know how they scale.

I'm pretty sure Berserker is in the film why would he otherwise be part of wave one with Bumblebee and Barricade who are both important characters in the new film?
And he isn't a Crankcase remold either Berserker is a completely new mold with different engineering.

Barricade has always had licensing issues ever since the 2007 toys if I remember correctly Barricade according to the toys is technically not a real mustang (As in the toys not the movies) in fact the shape of the Deluxe toy car for TLK is not completely accurate to the movie one it's similar to Sideways's ROTF deluxe car "close enough" case.

Nope, Barricade is a custom model called the Saleen S281, and licensed as such.

My only real issue with the backpack is that it's so simple looking. From the front? Intricately designed torso full of details and shapes. From the back? Big slab of blue.

He's clearly aiming for a chandelier above Prime's head which will fall and incapacitate him, allowing Megatron the opportunity to gloat about how he "wasn't aiming for you".
Hey, that's a really cool origin for the design! I'd assume then that Nitro represents a singular, nominally unique entity amongst a horde of nigh-identical warriors, probably in much the same way as Stinger was in AoE (and Gnaw before him). Nice catch there - I would never have noticed that the design was based on KSI bosses (or indeed that KSI Bosses existed) if you hadn't pointed it out!
(Though since it seems that Nitro is indeed based on those, and being man-made Transformers, I'd assume that Nitro does in fact turn into a real-world vehicle. Probably a jet of some description and probably cool, but... thus dies the dream of having a DOTM-gunship Transformer.

Uhhhh Nitro is this Shockwave looking character (con in the middle) both pictures of his toy don't picture the head good but all the details like his turbines and the missiles on them as well as his legs makes it 100% him.
Other characters are Hooligan (Rusty Van) on the roof, Hooligan (Silver bike) on the light pole in the middle, and Onslaught (green tow truck) on the very right
Details he shares with Shockwave besides his head is his weapon tube on his left arm otherwise he uses the Ksi Boss look.

Anyway I do kinda wish that Legion barricade was Black rather than dark blue as I was hoping he'd work as a Funpub legion Barricade equivalent.
I wonder if they will be making store exclusives mixing a legion with a deluxe or bigger boxed sets of legions ?

I think he needs two as they are also designed to fit in his engines as well as in his "Flame thrower".
I was also wondering something about Megatron - do his wings swing forward and fit flush against the body for super sonic mode like a F/A-37 Talon from the Movie "Stealth" ?.

After having his face shown off for the first time earlier this week it appears as if Cogman is getting a toy! Weibo user 变形金刚改造工厂的淘宝店 has shown off another one of those packaging images that revealed the Infernocus combiner, deluxe Megatron, voyager Nitro, and deluxe Skullitron. No name nor robot mode is seen on the box art, but based on the alt mode seen and the rumors, this would appear to be Cogman. Check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Either a one step thing or they weren't able to acquire a licence to model toys to an accurate Aston Martin the symbol is on the side of the car though.

The fact it seems to have the Aston Martin symbol makes it a licensed model. One-Steps always have some design compromises in order to accommodate the gimmick.
Speaking of models, is there a list somewhere of all the models used?

Cogman is an Autobot Headmaster and it's just character name made up for the movies which is fine new characters keep thing fresh.
This is his headmaster's robot form notice the gears and cogs in his details.
Here is his bio as described by Tfwiki
Cogman is a Headmaster, diminutive in size for a Transformer. As the faithful manservant of Sir Edmund Burton, he's very polite and proper, but suffers from... "anger issues."

I thought Cogman was a silly name when I first saw it but it's grown on me especially from what we know about the character so far.
Have to admit I love those cog details on him too. A lil too intricate to work on the toy though?

Cogman isn't an entirely uncommon surname in England which puts the character in rare company with Shrapnel (the shards of exploded metal and debris the Insecticon is named for comes from British Lieutenant General Henry Shrapnel). The name cogman originally comes from the seller of coarse cloth or cogware. Incidentally, a cog is the tooth of a gear, not the gear itself.

There are a few more TF names out there that are also human names, be they first names or last names.Emerje wrote:Cogman isn't an entirely uncommon surname in England which puts the character in rare company with Shrapnel (the shards of exploded metal and debris the Insecticon is named for comes from British Lieutenant General Henry Shrapnel). The name cogman originally comes from the seller of coarse cloth or cogware. Incidentally, a cog is the tooth of a gear, not the gear itself.

Dino is a good example I used to dislike the name but when I think of how he was supposed to be named Mirage I think it fits since Dino sounds a bit exotic which fits with G1 Mirage being high class.
And it sounds cool to say dee-no just like mi-raaagee
My head canon (which is not a fact OK) in the movieverse transformers with more "human" names were of the higher class and rich citizens and most of them were killed during the war because of stereotypical most rich people are incompetent tropes.

I know, I didn't say they were the only two, just that it's rare. I only used Shrapnel as a popular example.
Not even joking, he's his robot butler.

This isn't entirely related to the toys, but are those teeth on Cogman's cheeks? It kinda looks like he has a huge mouth and the scuba mouth thing is covering the front of it.

Uhmm, okay, that's not an Aston in any way shape or form, and it seems kind of strange to just plaster the logo on the side of a car that looks nothing like any car they make. Especially when they could.have put it on the front of the car, like actual Aston Martins. Has anything like this happened before? Like, a one step/legion class Bumblebee that doesn't look like a camaro and the just put the Chevy logo in some random place? Hmm
Jesus Christ, that's terrifying. I just imagine some horror movie where he scuttles on all fours and has this gigantic mouth with thousands of teeth and a super-long pointed tongue. Bleh.

Doesn't Grimlock from IDW have a similar thing going on? Or Mileena from those Mortal Kombat games since they gave her lips?

Just looks like wires to me, not teeth.
