Video Review for Transformers The Last Knight Armor Optimus Prime Turbo Changer

The only thing that ran through my mind while watching was, "as you can seeee I am an eeeemoji" but this does look infinitely better than the AoE shelfwarmer 1step formers

weird helmet but this toy gets the robot mode flames the 'real' voyager doesn't? tsk

I didn't join the site to watch people make jokes about using women, but apparently that still flies so yay for free speech. :-/

EDIT: Just realized I accidentally put this in the wrong thread. My apologies.

Visited a Toys R Us in Evansville, IN and found the new Legends class figures.



They were selling them for 9.99 a piece.

They also had the Tiny Turbo Changers. Forgot to check the price, though.

That is despicable, yes.

Why don't you enlighten us with your opinion on a toy?


Say, this next post.

Alrighty then.

I'm actually looking forward to this line quite a bit. I really hope they don't pull an AoE and make all the good toys TRU exclusive in the UK though. Voyager (or Leader) Megatron is probably my number 1 want, though from what little we've seen of him Nitro looks great too. Barricade and Berserker both look awesome but I wish they were better painted. I kinda want the new Drift and an AoE Drift to go with him as a kind of "Red Oni, Blue Oni" pair (need to come up with new names and identities).

If you thought there weren't enough The Last Knight Megatron toys, we have one more for you. This Titan Changer Megatron toy has been revealed by Hasbro's Middle-East division. This is a 12″ toy that transforms from robot to jet in 5 Steps.
While below you will find the very first image of this toy, we did know we were getting this figure since February when Hasbro had given us all their product descriptions. The excerpt can be found below, along with the specific bio for this toy. The photos and bio were brought to light by TFW2005.

Speaking of that new Drift, anyone know whether some of the photos were mis-transformed, or does his vehicle kibble really hang down all the way past his knees? I've probably said this before, but the paint apps on his chest all severely lacking, and if his kibble really is like that then that's pretty much the final nail in the coffin for me.

In other Transformers: The Last Knight toy news, we have a video review for two one-step figures, or Turbo Changers as they're known now, via fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999. You can check out the embedded video below, including some thoughts on the figures, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

The One Step changers are back as Turbo Changers. Hound and Barricade are the only new molds in wave 1 and they're fun. Barricade is the shining star and features a rotating wrist gun, gotta love the extra play value. Definitely fun and make great desk toys, worth a pickup.

Drift is a re-tool / re-shell of his AOE toy. So its safe to say his car kibble should fold up and peg to his back.



However, since I do not believe we've actually seen his back directly, its hard to say.

My money is on mistransformation though.

Fellow Seibertronian EmirateXaaron has come across The Last Knight legends class figures at Toys R Us in Evansville, Indiana. They are priced at 9.99 each. Also spotted were these Tiny Turbo Changers pictured below. If you are curious as to what is inside those mystery bags check out this article for a better look at what is inside.

Really want to see some new pics of nitro... anyone know when there'll be another toyfair like thing where hasbro might show some more products?

Tiny Turbo Changers, are there codes or should I prepare myself for ageda and misery?

You will see it in stores before the next show (hascon in september)

Its fine, Bee and Optimus dont have those either. So its all equal footing.

Could you tell us if these are allowed to be sold. Thats the big news we are looking for right now. And that goes for anyone finding these in the wild. Since everything from the launch has now been spotted in the US, we now need to know if it can actually be purchased. So if anyone finds these again, please let us know so we can properly report the news

Which Hasbro is showing 0 signs of attending. Plus its in July, 3 months after the movie toys are released. I am pretty sure we wont get the first full image of Nitro in both modes at an event.

Allowed to be sold? What do you mean? I found them on the shelves, marked and everything. I could go back tomorrow and try to buy one, if that would help.

Sometimes toys on the shelf before their street dates won't ring up.

That would be awesome if you can.

Even the titan changer looks decent! How is this design so absurdly toyetic?

Just got tlk deluxe barricade at tru. They had to do an overrride on him since he wasnt supposed to be out till the 28th. They had it all out and probably gonna put it back now. Hopefully they dont find my stash.

has anybody spotted voyager hound or megatron at stores yet?

Yeah, they are marked with price tags but no one has been able to actually purchase them so far. When I went, the cash froze up and they had to call a manager who had to take the toy away, and put a key in the cash for me to proceed with my other purchases. They were then removed from the shelves until they are allowed to be up.

But we dont know if thats the case for all TLK toys. Like thoe tiny turbo changers, it would be really fun to know if they can actually be bought. Because the whole idea of newsing something is to help out the community and while spotting new toys is still news, it only really helps anyone if they can be purchased. So let us know when you go back and we can update the story

Thanks to TFW2005, we have an official product description and stock images of the Transformers: The Last Knight role play masks. The images of the non-electronic Bumblebee mask reveal it to be a reuse of the Robots In Disguise mask mold. Check out the comparison image below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

In the explosive Transformers: The Last Knight movie, new heroes must rise in an epic struggle to forge a future for all. Answer the call to protect Earth with Transformers: The Last Knight role play masks. Now, fans can imagine becoming the legendary Autobots from the movie and experiencing the unforgettable action. This Transformers: The Last Knight mask assortment features iconic Autobot heroes. Each figure is sold separately.

they can be purchased but they arent supposed to be.i went check out and they had too call the manager. they did an override since they arent supposed to be out till the 28th. they probably pulled all the stuff off the shelves after i left since they had it all out. ofc they wont find prime or berserker

The repainted mask is just lame. Using an RID mask and painting it to look like Movie Bee isn't fooling anyone, Hasbro.

Who cares, it's Bunmblebee!

Maaaan, if I ever need to prove to anyone Hasbro's cheap...

It's even got the little indent for the scan-badge!

Finally, a Scout/Basic size Barricade. Though I refocused my collection in recent years to G1 and it's offshoots, some movie toys remained such as Wreckage, Dirt Boss and the Real Gears.

Plus Barricade appeared in the background in the IDW comics so that to me makes him G1.

I'll definitely pick him up.

Windsweeper wrote:Plus Barricade appeared in the background in the IDW comics so that to me makes him G1.

i am just curious here, since when is IDW G1? sure, it uses some G1 characters in new scenarios but so do the movies, animated and Prime. I never saw why that would make it G1 over any other reinterpretation, let me know your thoughts when you have a sec.

Because it was officially stated as such. While it may have moved towards bringing in many other continuities as a reference point with the G1 characters and ideas being a basis, it was very clear from the beginning that they were directly using G1 designs and primary inspiration. I really don't see how you can look at Infiltration Prowl and Animated Prowl and just figure they're doing the same thing.

Regardless, I highly doubt this is a conversation to have here and Windsweeper was simply stating their own headcanon and/or preferences. This is a thread about TLK toys. I'm sure whether or now IDW is G1 is an interesting subject (in my opinion it originally very clearly was but has gradually moved away from that), but let's give it its own separate topic or at least keep it to the IDW threads.

That legion Barricade sure makes for a good Cyberverse version of Prime Cade eh guys?

Yup, gotcha

Gonna buy that tlk barricade eventually but i am curious to see if it will come out in a better deco in some kind of platinum set.

I don't see why not, as AoE had them, and quite a few.

I do use a combination of factors to justify Bulkhead being able to be considered G1 and IDW is part of that. Barricade I'd say can do double duty with regard to G1 via the Collectors Club toy - you can get away with suggesting he has a Prime Version or a Classic version (kinda) same idea as ROTF Bludgeon and RTS Lugnut and HFTD Lockdown - they tend to get moved around a bit too.

That's just... I dunno what that is. They could have used a previous movie Bee mask in a revised colouring style and that would have been lazy but actually looked like the character but this is just ridiculously poor. Now there may be some kids who can't tell the difference between RiD and movie Bumblebee's head designs but this is insulting the intelligence of those who can.

I think the 5 step Megatron is the first one I don't plan to get. Just not to my taste. The rest though, I plan to buy

Stupid question, anybody know the retail price of a Tiny Turbo Changer blind bag. Guy in Texas is selling a case and I'm curious about the mark up.

They are 2.99 a piece at retail.

Hey all here's another review of a movie figure I was able to get early, none other than Barricade. I think it's the best figure from the first wave.

I think that figure sucks huge balls. I got it today and will do a pictorial review (which will also include your video )

So people will have two very different opinions.

The Transformers: The Last Knight line is now widely released at Walmart Canada. The toys can be bought with no problem (proof below) and the price hike for deluxes and voyagers that we saw at Toysrus Canada is further confirmed by Walmart having those very same prices.

The Wave 1 Transformers: The Last Knight toys available for purchase were:

Knight Armor Turbo Changers
Tiny Turbo Changers
Deluxes at $30
Voyagers at $40
Legions
One Steps







The line has yet to appear at Walmart in the US and will only be available at Toysrus on the 24th. However, for Americans who want these toys before others, Think Geek has made them available for purchase. Scottimus has taken images of this which you can see below. And remember, if you find any toys from this line, please let the community know by either making a post in the sightings forum or, even easier, just jot it down in our sightings section.

The flip and change class of simpler movie toys has a new gimmick this time for Transformers: The Last Knight, where all of them come with flip out helmets/masks. They are called Knight Armor and drastically change the look of the figure. Below you will see images of the toys with and without their helmets as well as the first ever in hand image of Knight Armor Bumblebee in vehicle mode, which looks great. That image, and a few others are courtesy of Pascal over at cybertron.ca while the rest were taken by me. These are for wave one only, since it is the only wave released so far, and includes Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Grimlock, who ends up with a crown rather than a mask covering his face like the other two.

Enjoy!






































Here is what Pascal had to say about these:

The legs on Bumblebee are really annoying, they want to move up (due to transformation), same with the toes (they're spring-loaded and fold up in car mode). Very unstable. Prime is cool though.

"Me, Grimlock, not king, me court jester!"

So today in Toys R Us (East Coast), I found TLK toys also! They had pretty much the full cast, except for Optimus (unless I missed him, I wouldn't have gotten him anyway). I got Berserker, Barricade, Grimlock, and Slash, they had Bumblebee but I had no interest in him as I've got the platinum edition AOE version, and the takara Stinger... yeah, I need no more of those. Here are some pictures of the figures in store.

This is how they were when I found them, I was incredibly excited. Barricade can be seen hidden in the back a bit there, I was worried he wouldn't be at first. He was the one I was most excited for. Cracked him open today, he's good! I cannot wait for a good reprolabels set to go on him, and I kinda want to swap out his legs for some reason. I tried my CW Nosecone's legs, and I think they looked really good besides the color difference! Wondering what I could do (if anybody has any ideas on what might look good, let me know! I hope to find something in black because I think that would match the figure color better than any other blue I could possibly find).

These are the legends, but I had absolutely no interest in them.

At checkout, the cashier had to get a bit of assistance from somebody else because it seemed the figures were not to be sold yet. Luckily, though, I was able to get them with no trouble.

This was my final selection lined up. They look good. Grimlock actually has some really nice painted detail, in my opinion, such as on his foot and knees where they don't just make it all one color but break things up with different shades of silver and gray. Perhaps it's not much all things considered, but paint can be scarce on figures these days so it's good to know that not all figures suffer from the lack of it. The dino eyes being red and robo eyes being blue puts me off a bit, but other than that I really like him. Berserker is nice, had a lot of fun with him, though the head seems to pop off a bit easily. Doesn't matter too much, it's a simple enough fix. I already expressed my thoughts on Barricade, (again, anybody with leg ideas let me know!). Slash is the most underwhelming for me, but that's not because he's bad or anything. I like his colors more than the original, but that's about it. He's fine though, just doesn't stand out to me from the rest.
This... kinda made my day. I thought of the possibility of TLK toys popping up in Toys R Us when I checked it out, but I didn't expect it would actually happen. Today was a good day.
