The Last Knight Premier Edition Optimus Prime Packing Image

I think I'll pick this up when it's gone on sale.

The box design looks the same as aoe, so at least it's consistent.

I kind of wonder how this is going to be released. Is it just going to be an early release available at general retail or is it going to be exclusive to somewhere? I can't imagine it being that much different from the real voyager like First Edition AoE Prime was (or leader class, you know what I mean).

Ohhh that packaging looks sexy!

I think I'll wait to see what the Japanese do with it.

Bit weird it has two different Transformers logos but does that mean the vertical red font one is the overall brand logo (with the one used above The Last Knight is for movie stuff?) Overall it's like the previous movie boxes but just... nicer.

Correct, the red vertical logo is the one for the overall brand and used in all lines. It's been like that since Age of Extinction, and it's used by both Hasbro and TakaraTomy no less.

Though, Takara has inverted its colors for the Legends line, using white letters on a red background instead.

Take this with an entire bucket of salt, but it appears that a user on /toy/ has found a leaked image of what seems to be the leader class version of Optimus Prime from the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight live-action movie toyline. The image, mirrored below, is a grey prototype with blue helmet and sword - check it out, and speculate away!

Now this looks like the new-trilogy prime toy we've been waiting for!

My AOE Prime is practically in the trash can already. If this thing has a decent vehicle mode, then I'll pay up. That's some Masterpiece level engineering!

Where's the metal kibble?

Let's hope this is at Toy Fair. I wonder how many people are going to buy the Premier Edition knowing this is potentially coming later?

If this is real then it's nice to see Hasbro finally realizing that a movie that'll likely gross a billion dollars is worth a toy line with a big budget. They seemed to forget that with AOE, but this could be a sign of them returning to the level we saw with the RotF and DotM lines. I'm thinking we might get a proper Triple Changer Drift in this line.

That looks... off. I mean, it's been compressed and blown up to hell, but still everything's flat and angular (what's up with the belly?), and it sorta looks like somebody built up on an existing figure than having engineered a full new (transforming) toy.

I don't think that's it and if it is then it's a tiny one since there's nothing behind his lower back. I think those are hinges and he transforms similar to CW Megatron with the entire chest folding up to form the top of the truck hood.

ROTF Leader Optimus 2.0

Soundwave, analyzing...

Analysis shows... Leader, superior; voyager, inferior...

Thats because its a 3p figure:



And I guess its their take on Optimus from Prime, not the movie universe. But both take hint of one another so it could go either way.

Ha, wow, that is quite a bit more amateur than I had assumed.

That's definitely based on the AOE Optimus design. No other Optimus has those torso pectoral pieces, that shoulder kibble, that knight skirt, and that pair of back-mounted triple smokestacks.

To say nothing of the chest design. That line art doesn't look as nice as the blurry photo does, but probably represents it better so I'm not sad to see it isn't official. The wait for a better Leader Optimus continues.

On the flipside, the feet/heels, the panels on the forearms and what appears to be the wheels inside the chest call back to Prime First Edition Optimus. That may mean that figure copies the transformation of the latter figure.

We need a Unicron toy! & no! i don't think it'll have a robot mode(probably just a playset similar to the technodrome toy of the last TMNT movie)

Via some internet magicks, and some further digging on online retailer Amazon, the Canada version, we have what appears to be the full list of upcoming figures from the Transformers: The Last Knight movie, due in theaters in Summer 2017. Much like for Age of Extinction, they're all given a nickname (moving away from Rocky and into astronomy), no images, no pricepoint, but a general description and the classes - as you can see in the breakdown below (Legion, Deluxe, and Voyager). What do you think? Which character is which? Does this get some sort of interest ready for the new toyline? Let us know in the Energon Pub!

Huh. Interesting. Never seen products listed like that. I guess these movies do everything with its own brand of "style".

I want that new Optimus Prime TLK figure and my silver sharpie is waiting...

I expect we will know what all of these look like pretty soon as the Toyfair season starts.

I'm glad there are new Legions I missed them in the previous line.

I expect from the blurb that there also exist the Last Knight Ones Ste-Changers too.

I wonder if they will do some Legions that actually represent the smaller Characters like Brains - also do any toys of characters they missed out on by the size not existing for the AOE line. not to mention as One-Step Changers were only introduced a few years ago they could also go old school (remember it's the 10 anniversary of the 2007 Movie) and make a 1=step 1970's Bumblebee or Jet Megatron or even Blackout, Bonecrusher and Brawl.

They already sneaked a One Step ROTF Megatron into a previous line so there is not reason to not do that again. I don't expect they will ever make dino's old body though.

All this talk of onesteps though just reminded me I never did get a a One-step Stinger.

Wait a minute : no leader class ?
I still consider leader class Optimus Prime from ROTF as one of the best if not the best transformers Movie toys.
I wish they could really do some hard work on a new version to equal its predecessor...

Via the Facebook group HK-TF, and its user Victor Wong (plus a clip from Toys Daily) we have a look at a redeco of Age of Extinction Leader Optimus Prime which will come out in the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight toyline. It is part of the Premiere Edition subline with a rusty paintjob, according to the packaging (which also shows red Drift). There is also a Bumblebee figure present and it is unsire if it is simply the Revenge of the Fallen Batle Ops Bee on display or if there are some new parts to him. There is the original MPM-2 box from 2010 present, confusing the matter. What do you fans make of this? Do you see something new to that Bumlebee? You can check out the pictures below and speculate away in the Energon Pub.

I do love that Bumblebee.

Btw here's some guesswork from the pages of TFW2005 as to who those figs on that list may be
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/t ... 474/page-3

So neither of these two are new molds? Optimus looks like a straight up redeco of TF4 Prime and Bee looks like the older masterpiece from around ROTF.

I think someone left Prime in the toaster a little too long with that shadow spark figure. The leader Bumblebee looks awesome, but it's interesting that they based it off his first movie look instead of his new one.

PeterPrime wrote:So neither of these two are new molds? Optimus looks like a straight up redeco of TF4 Prime and Bee looks like the older masterpiece from around ROTF.

Its the same toy. I dont know if this means it will be reissued or if its just there for show. Its the same box as the older one too.

Here is our original article on that toy from 2010

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... bee/20462/

PeterPrime wrote:So neither of these two are new molds? Optimus looks like a straight up redeco of TF4 Prime and Bee looks like the older masterpiece from around ROTF.

I should have known before I clicked article it bee repaints of two
Figures

Is it the same toy, though? All other sources point to Bee being a completely new mold, or at least a heavy, HEAVY retool. A longer neck with collar pieces, extra two back wings, no cannon/guns with proper articulated hands, no electronics, etc... Look, the wheels are no longer at the ankles even and the shin guards end at the same length on both sides. None of the parts look to be shared and the angles and contours of all the pieces are different. They'll obviously look similar because they're the same character, but there a ton of minor differences here and there that seem to indicate a completely new figure.

The box is just a picture of the old "Masterpiece" Movie line with Starscream as the first release. Why is it attached to this figure? I haven't seen the box picture anywhere else, nor have I seen it being referred to by the "MPM-2 monicker" outside of the box.

That is Battle Ops Bumblebee I think, by the right hand, so not the Leader of hasbro but a bigger fig, not scaled to none other of the movies. Even tough perhaps one of the best BBB around.

The Optimus looked neat and expensive, until the wheels look backpacked... That looks just awful no matter how great the front is.

The toy in the picture was mistransformed! The wheels at the side of Bee's legs fold down and sit in his ankles just like in the movie!

That's it. I'm buying two.

Actar wrote:The toy in the picture was mistransformed! The wheels at the side of Bee's legs fold down and sit in his ankles just like in the movie!

Does that mean that is the same toy afterall? And if so, are we to assum they are simply rereleasing him? Could it be that he is just there as a reminder of his previous look?

Ok, so it has differences from that original mold but it is still based on it right?

Also, I just wanted to point out that the Optimus redeco makes no sense for this movie line. His body changed at the end of AOE and that is reflected in the leader retool from Takara. This toy, being for The Last Knight should use that mold to at least reflect those changes. It could have beena chance for Hasbro to release that retool. But no, same leader mold again.

william-james88 wrote:Ok, so it has differences from that original mold but it is still based on it right?

It is definitely hard to tell, because it's the same character, but I'm putting my money on a new mold as it doesn't seem to share any parts with the previous figure.



They talk about the figure in this press conference/presentation. It's a new line of Masterpiece movie figures, it's based on the first movie appearance and it seems that the figure will have diecast in it as well.

Agreed 100%. Hopefully this doesn't mean that we won't be getting a new Leader figure down the line.

I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come from this next movie. Seeing these two makes me a little weary. A simple repaint to AOE Leader Optimus Prime, which in my opinion wasn't a great figure to begin with. Another ROTF/DOTM Bumblebee. I'm really hoping Hot Rod isn't just a repaint of AOE Deluxe Lockdown, and we get a new mold for Deluxe Drift. This style of marketing is pure evil, using people's anticipation as a ploy to dump off some older, less desirable figures; at a much higher price...

Hasbro just sent us a message confirming what we saw this morning and giving us more detail. As it turns out, that is indeed a new Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee, numbered at MPM-3. It is done to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first film. More linked to the new film, The Last Knight, is the Leader Optimus Redeco with new weapons. Both seem to be Asian editions so it is currently unkown if they will be sold in the west at big box retail. Below is all the info we have from Hasbro, including the prices and official stock images.

Transformers: The Last Knight Premier Edition Leader Shadow Spark Optimus Prime

(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $69.99/Available: April 2017)

The explosive Transformers saga continues with Transformers: The Last Knight, and this Asia-Edition Premier Edition Leader Class Shadow Spark Optimus Prime figure allows fans to bring the action home with them. The large-scale figure features incredibly intricate space deco and purple eyes inspired by the movie and converts between robot and truck mode in 20 steps. This 9-inch Optimus Prime figure also comes equipped with two space weapons.








Masterpiece Movie Series Bumblebee MPM-3 Figure

(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $79.99/Available: July 2017)

This premium movie Bumblebee MPM-3 figure from the Transformers Masterpiece series brings the 10th anniversary of the 1st Transformers movie to life with this film-version of the iconic Autobot scout. This figure includes stunning intricate detailing and 33 steps of articulation, as well as a flip-down battle mask and Chevrolet Camaro design. Whether he’s cruising the highway as a slick Chevrolet Camaro or facing Decepticons in battle, Bumblebee is one of the bravest bots in the universe.

It may just be me, but it totally looks like the Leader Class Age of Extinction Prime with a few changes. Like the chest piece (though it may just be the paint), head, and a few other bits.

The back of the figure is near identical. Same backpack, transformation panels, legs etc... all the same. Even the same sword.

I'm calling a slight retool at best:

Its just a redeco, we wrote as such in the news post.

Missed the news post. Just went for the thread here.

It is baffling that they went to such lengths to make that neat looking deco and didn't use the retooled Armor Knight version that is more movie-accurate than Hasbro's original version that was instead based more on earlier AOE concept art.

I'm fairly certain that Bumblebee is either a new mold or, at the very least, it's not the Battle Ops Bumblebee/MPM-2 Bumblebee mold.

Let's hope these wave are quick and are done quickly.
