Also give us the damn single pack TLK new Deluxe alreadyyyyyyy! I have money in my hand which I want to give to Hasbro right this very second but they don't seem to want it. What's up with that?

Wave 2 hasnt even reached saturation yet, so no reason sores would stock on wave 3 when they still have a ton of wave 2 to sell.

As mentioned in the UK sightings thread I can hardly even find Wave 2 around these parts.

I haven't seen anything past Wave 1 in Eastern Tennessee. My Target store has things like TLK Bumblebee, Slash, Barricade, Berserker, and Grimlock, and TR Bumblebee, Chromedome, Hotrod, Triggerhappy, Optimus Prime and Megatron...

Yep, same TLK and same Titans waves here too although with the addition of Broadside next to the Optimus Prime and Megatron Titans figures

We had Broadside for a while, but he eventually sold out and they restocked with Optimus and Megatron...

Yeah i hadn't seen him before today. Am not interested in the figure but it was nice to see SOMETHING that hasn't been clogging up those shelves for ages (the wave 3 Titans Deluxes have been there 'forever' even at the discount prices)

I saw leader optimus and megs at Target last Saturday. I didnt know this was news. I passed cause I want voyager megs which I havent seen yet.

But yeah NO NEW TRANSFORMERS 'ROUND THESE HERE PARTS!

Knowing your taste, I would suggest just sticking with the movie toys instead of getting this Bludgeon. I know you dont like the animated toys and he is a lot like them and works well with them aesthetically. But since they are not part of your collection, this bludgeon might stick out like a sore thumb.

I dunno. He looks a bit too lacking in chin to fit with Animated.

And yeah I liked some clever aspects of certain Animated toys when I bought that huge lot cheap that I sold off seperately (made good profit cos the previous owner couldn't be bothered and just wanted rid in one lot) but aesthetically nope not my thing, you're right. I actually do think wildly different styles of Transformers whether Animated or Movie have forced Hasbro and Takara to up their game in ways and come up with new ideas and solutions in making the designs work in transformable toy form and those lil bits of cleverness benefit the brand as a whole when designing new toys.

Yup, big news. If anyone has pics of the toys in store or of the receipt, please send that to us so we can news it

It's strange how there is an Optimus with his weapon in Energised shield mode and another with it in blaster mode - but not one with it in it's fully compacted storage mode.

I'm rather amused by Optimus still having the wrong sword though. they just painted it a bit better. worth £10 or so for a replacement i'd say with the options being a plastic or metal one or a harder to find campaign one. - speaking of weapon oddities you can get reproductions of Bee's hammer now made of metal but they may be more voyager sized than suitable for bee at 15.5cm and the other 2 sizes are huge one is 22cm long and the other is 18cm - They also do an an 18cm Optimus sword and an 18cm Megatron one too also all metal.

The giant Golden version of the Optimus sword seems like an ideal weapon for a combiner to me.

I've not got a good enough look at the packaging yet - but if they were not so dangerous looking i'd be wondering if they were licensed as they are covered in hologram like stickers and look licensed (or good at faking looking licensed). I wish someone had done the Optimus Sword from TF Prime in metal - just because it's a nice sword.

Perhaps I'll buy one of the idiotically sized hammers and give it to TFC "Starcats" Dinoking or someone else who looks like they'd hit people with giant yellow hammers for fun.

Animated Bludgeon was gonna be a pirate anyway.

Got Sqweeks. Scale's not too bad.

How much are Skullitron/Megs there in the US?
Here in the PH we got them at $36...

I think I paid $34 for skullitron and megatron but that was with buy one get one 40% off

They're technically 19.99 a piece, but would probably be closer to 42.00 together.

Lame.

If HasBLO was smart and used Takara's Calibur mould, this thing would fly off the shelves. Instead, this thing is going to rot.

Looking to spice up your Halloween costume? This is a great role-play toy that's a decent size for big kids.

Coming from the Hasbro YouTube and the YouTube channel of Smyth's Toy Store in Britain,
we have two new Transformers The Last Knight toy ads! One is for the Latin American region, showing off the new Titan Changers, and one featuring Mega One Step Changer Dragonstorm! The Titan Changer commercial shows the Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron toys, while Dragonstorm shows his new UV light gimmick. Check both out below!

I'm betting that very few people care about this set, cause hell, even I only care about 50% of it

TLK TRU Exclusive Optimus Prime Mission to Cybertron! Earth truck Prime is actually better than I remember. Pick out more details with paint and he's be pretty great. He does a lot for such a small mold, but those feet and that backpack make him almost unposable. But the protoform mold.... I love. A lot. Pod mode is neat, and bot mode is super detailed and posable. And this is the best deco yet.

I already have both 2007 protoform Optimus and AoE Silver Knight deluxe Optimus. So that set is a no-go for me. Still, the Protoform of that set IS the best looking one, hands down.

Anyone who don't have either molds should consider this set. At the very least when it's on sale/clearance.

Got the wave 2 legion figures, and they actually are really good. The autobots look great riding their dinobots, and I recommend picking them up. Can't wait for wave 3!

Still looking for anything remotely wave 2. Need Sqweeks, Megs, and Hound.

I need to find deluxe Megs so bad. Can't find him around here.

Scorn and Nitro are also on pre-order through TFsource, so I am safe with those 2, makes me happy

Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth. The Last Knight display features no toys we haven't seen before, but it does confirm that Deluxe Class Cogman is still on his way, and it shows us more of Crosshairs, Wave 3 Bumblebee, and Strafe. We also get new pictures of Leader Class Dragonstorm!

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues across the weekend, with the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

I think I need a moment to fully comprehend a Steampunk Transformer that turns into an Aston Martin.
-heavy breathing-

Is that a Legion Cogman I see? cause it sure as hell don't look like the 1 step , Deluxe or Tiny Turbo Changer. Please let it be so also POTP reveal hype!

That's his titanmaster most likely. Unless your talking about how the deluxe cogman figure looks in finalized design.

NewBee and Cogman WILL BE MINE!
And despite size and cost I'm very tempted by Dragonstorm!
And I looove those purple lit photos of Dragonstorm's duo with Steelbanes.

I agree, Dragonicus and Stormreign look great! It isn't shown anywhere, but they each have individual dragon modes, but this could also mean some terrible looking robot legs masquerading as dragon limbs

Ah so they definitely do thave their own dragon modes then? Wonder why we haven't seen that yet then.

Also I wasn't gonna buy Strafe cos I had him in AoE but I really do like that blue/silver look with the red dino eyes. I may get him after all. Not as a priority like Cogs and Bee but yeah

I'd wager he'll suffer the same fate as slash, so you've got some time and potential sales.

Cogman look awesome in bot mode, but I would have preferred if he'd transformed into a car from the 1930's.
Still, I'll be buying for sure, if only because he's a HeadMaster.

Why this bb is misstransformed

Where is he mistransformed? Only difference I can see is the colours of the kneepads have changed.

I remember him being mistransformed in a toy advert a lil while ago where his little lower wings hadn't been moved down and instead were still attached to the larger top wing/doors resulting in ridiculously wide wingspan.

There is full list of transformers check

There is nothing new in that list, and all the images can be found in our news story: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... dcc/38976/

Cogman looks great. can't wait till he gets released. I'll have fun with him and Nitro Zeus, since i love the Titans return play pattern.

It's been confirmed that they do not have individual dragon modes. The idea that they did came from a poorly-worded press release.

Joining in the San Diego Comic Con 2017 fun, Hasbro Pulse's latest update features the concept and design images for Transformers: The Last Knight that were shown at the Hasbro Transformers brand panel - as you can see for yourself here.

The images include schematics, prototypes, designs for the likes of Nitro, Cogman, the two Megatron toys, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, the two Dragonsstorm toys (with Stormreign and Dragonicus), the Movie Masterpiece line and more - check it all out below!

Take a closer look at these behind the scenes images of Transformers: The Last Knight products just revealed at San Diego Comic-Con!

Love this sorta of stuff but I feel slightly spoiled by the Deluxe Bumblebee instructions cos part of my enjoyment is figuring out the toy without the instructions, only using them when I've got stuck. Damn my curiosity.

Same here. Even when I watch video reviews I don't look at the vid when it comes to them showing the transformation, just to make it more fun.
Of course i use the instructions as as a last resort if I'm stumped and I'm not sure if this part should move or not.

Ain't gonna stop me buying it though. It's number 1 on my want list. And I wanna do a bit of custom painting on the non-yellow parts too.

While some have been found already, we wanted to write a post of which recent Transformers: The Last Knight releases were now available at mass retail and not just collectable stores (or the Navy Exchange). All of these were found by both Scottimus Prime at the Lake Grove store in Long Island and by dahpadre at the Orland Park store in Illinois. The toys you will see below that have now been found at Toysrus (and thus mass retail) are:

RC Sqweeks (which was codenamed RC Earth in early listings)
Turbo Changer Mega One Step Cyberfire Dragonstorm
Leaders Megatron and Optimus Prime
Megatron and Bumblebee voice changing helmets

I wonder how much these will cost in Canada?

Is it just me or does MPM Prime looks way better in the gray model?

Our very own Seibertron has received info that the Transformers The Last Knight Deluxe Skullitron and Megatron are both in stock on the Toys R Us website! While these are starting to appear at physical stores, this is a nice option for people who don't want to go out and search their area.
Let us know down below if you'll be grabbing either of these figures! Megatron's listing is here and Skullitron's is here!

I no care for deluxe megs but very interested in Skullimatron. Keeping eye out for UK release

Finally. They've been out of stock for at least 2 weeks.

So does Cogman, TBH.

Hm. Nope i like the coloured Prime and the blackwashed Cogman a lot more.

I like the toy of Steelbane, and I've been checking stores fairly often over the last two months to try and find him. I cannot seem to find him anywhere yet. Is this toy rare, or is it being sniped by the online sales community before I can get my hands on one?

Steelbane and that entire wave 2 has yet to be released in full in the US. Its not rare, just not fully released yet. Your best bet is to go on the sightings forum and check out your state's thread where people will tell you if they find it.

Cool! But I probably won't see any of these for a while. My nearest TRU has a very tiny space for Transformers. Most of the aisle taken up by WWE and leftover Jurassic World toys.
