Nope, but if you spot him, PLEASE let us know.

Its all the same. The only way to see if its a variant is to look at the very bottom of the clear plastic roof that you see unfolded in the packaging. If its really black at the bottom that means that what is on top of that clear plastic piece is also black and thus you know you have a fully black roof all across the top of the car. I hope this pic helps, you can see that the bottom fo th back section is all black in the package:

I found the Flip And Change Bumblebee in ASDA Gravesend, UK. It was priced at £24.97.

We have some HUGE news coming in today regarding some new Transformers The Last Knight toys hitting retail! Seibertronian Whirlkick has spotted not only the Autobots Unite Legion Class Two Packs, but also the highly anticipated Transformers Last Knight Deluxe Hot Rod figure, at an ASDA store in the UK! This confirms that the two packs, consisting of one with Hot Rod and Bumblebee and another with Megatron and Berserker, as well as Deluxe Hot Rod have started to trickle into stores, so it's only a matter of time before we see them in the US.
It also reinforces the fact that while the Autobots Unite subline is a Wal-Mart exclusive in the US, it will be exclusive to ASDA in the UK.
This makes sense, as Wal-Mart is ASDA's parent company.
Check out the photographic proof below, and let us know in the forums if you've seen any new toys in stores near you.

My ASDA is terrible for toys so I don't expect they will get him in - he is on the website though as is the 2 pack and Trypticon (for £150) so I'll see if they reduce them a bit before I consider biting £25.00 is a bit much for a remould.

Oh and Chefatron has reviewed Wave 3 Deluxe Bumblebee if anyone is interested to see his review it's here :

[I won't embed it in case the toy has been linked to with another review]

Where the frick are these Asdas that have Transformers toys in them? Cos none of the ones I go to have them. I'd like Hot Rod dammit.

English review of the NEW TLK deluxe Bumblebee.
By, you guessed it, Chefatron.

Man, Dragonstorm is supposed to be so cool. Stop with the QC issues!

This is also why I am glad I wait on figures. It's almost always the first ones that have issues.

Oh and Leader and voyager Megatron and voyager Hound are in-stock at HTS. I got all 3 with the 20% off thanks to emails

Thanks to reports from CDavid3 and Carytheone[/i], we have news that the Dancing Sqweeks toy has reached store shelves! This unique figure plays right into kids aspect of the line, and can be connected to an MP3 player to jam out to some jazzy tunes! The figure was found for $19.88 at Walmart, one of which was the Walmart in Milpitas, California. Check out the images below, and take a peek at a cool little Youtube video Carytheone was kind enough to take of the dancing figure!

Not sure if dancing or having some kinda episode but I like it. I wouldn't normally be interested in such a toy of most other characters who get this sorta thing but I'm fond of Sqweeks so it appeals to me.

I saw this thing at my Walmart on Wednesday, and decided to play with it. It is probably the stupidest piece of Bayverse merchandise released in the last 10 years. I felt myself losing an IQ point just standing there looking at it.

The folks over at Toy-People.com have posted an extensive selection of pictures of Transformers The Last Knight Deluxe Class Cogman, far and away the most hotly anticipated figure the last waves of the TLK toy line. The images show off the figure in robot and vehicle modes, compares him to other TLK figures, As well as his accessory and headmaster. They also show off two unknown features, the amount of detail in his cockpit, and his flip-down chest, which reveals even more detail that's been sculpted in. Check out all the photos below

Oh my Goooooooood, I'm in total, infatuated, love with this thing. I love the way too huge, winged out shoulders.


And this whole thing is so ****** unnecessary, it's awesome.


Also, if anybody's wondering, the interior is pretty f'in accurate, considering the restrictions. Here's one I sat in at a local dealer for reference.

Holy scrap I want it want it want it! I wish the stock photography would be more like this, they made it look even more awesome!

Ok, the C-3PO-esque circle in his stomach becoming the screw on the Headmaster is absolutely brilliant. I wonder if that was something they planned during his development that got inserted into his movie design? Either way dang it, now I want 2 Cogman figures so I can have one in his robot mode and the other as tiny, human size Cogman. There's nice enough detail on the Headmaster that some paint would look great.

Damn Cogman is the best looking movie figure period (Disagree? fight me )




HNGGGGGGGG


I want him...I need him.

Does cogmans leg transformation remind anyone else of barricades

It's been a while since I was exited for a deluxe movie figure. Not even Squeek drew my attention. But Cogman... MAN, I'll pay the 30$CAN plus taxes without regrets!

I hadn't planned on buying any of these movie figures...but this is one that could end up on my shelf.

Deadput wrote:Damn Cogman is the best looking movie figure period (Disagree? fight me )

Is he really the best looking movie figure or is that photographer just one of the best instead? I bet he could make the Dragonstorm components look even better and we all know those are deeply flawed.

My god.
This is the first I'm seeing of this figure.
It's beautiful!

I normally don't collect movie figs, but I HAVE to get this one.

I love the Titan Master/Headmaster gimmick and its integration into the movie line is one of the greatest things Hasbro's done in recent years.

Yes, but could they get the photos without the necks falling off

Yeah, something tells me this figure is gonna be especially hard to come by, especially if the wave 1 figures don't start moving at b&m...

One of the most anticipated toys from Transformers: The Last Knight is the new Bumblebee mold coming out in the third wave of deluxes which should be hitting the west soon enough. We have some english language reviews of this figure which were brought to our attention by fans. One of these reviews is from Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 and others are from Chefatron and Emgo.

Enjoy!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Oh look another Bumblebee, this one surprised me with how small it is. This is probably the easiest transformation of any Bumblebee I've handled, which I appreciate but it also feels rather boring in hand. The swappable arm gimmick is nice but I'm concerned that the joint will loosen over time and use. If you're a fan I'm sure you'll enjoy this figure.

Not only that but so far it is not part of any confirmed wave. It was removed from wave 3 and there is no case breakdowns of any following waves after that.

Yeah Cogman looks great. I still think my fave part of the figure is that it's a rare case of a Titan/Head master being done on a very realistic looking car AND being a two seater like the real car is. A tiny Sir Edmund figure to sit in the other seat would have been the cherry on top.

So.. Cogman better be not some "store X exclusive" bullcrap.

The winged out shoulder thing really makes Cogman look incredible. I think I might want him.

If Generations Arcee is anything to go off of, I'd say theres a definite possibility. I really hope not, but you never know.

Well, I'm just glad to know that hasbros gonna end up screwing us out of Cogman (and likely wave 2,3, and if it exists, 4) so that they could put some of the worst figures in the line into wave 1 and slurging them all over the aisles

Other new toys to come at the tail end have been Skylynx, arcee and chromia and the sky reign deluxes. So it could go either way. What will happen for sure though is that he will be priced higher at BBTS for them to make up their lost cost on the other figures in the case that wont sell as well.

I mean, you say they're supposed to be on shelves, but, we all know that slash and grimlock are gonna stagnate on shelves like shelfwarming we've never seen before. At least that's literally whats happening in my area, 10 grimlocks, 7 slashes, and a few berserkers and crappy bb's, they don't move, worse even are the legion figures, which are all low quality repaints that no one is spending money on. So it's likely that if this happens at enough retailers, then we won't see much of the line

i saw these at my Walmart yesterday (friday) but didn't pay enough attention to even really be sure what it was. Much more interested in grabbing tr Cosmos and Seaspray finally.

The bumblebees all sold really well where I am. They were sold out for a while until we got restocked with the variant.

Cogman is a very interesting looking movie figure. Fingers crossed that this toy doesn't have any quality control issues. *cough*Trypticon*cough*

So I got my TLK voyager and leader Megatron and voyager Hound. i have only transformed them once each, but man these are some good figures.

With regards to Hound, he is much better than his AoE self in my opinion. He is bigger, he feels beefier, he actually looks a bit more his size, and overall he feels really good. I miss all his weapons, but the feet/wheels are very clever and I love that touch. This is a great mold and I do like it so far.

Now for the Megatrons. They each differ so much that I find myself loving each in a very different way. The Leader has the best jet mode, I love it! It is amazing, and with the flame effects, it is a perfect jet mode. Spectacular. The voyager has a much better robot mode, and both have a very fun transformations. I cannot really rank one above the other yet, but they are both really well worth it!

Now everyone wants a Bumblebee? Where were they 5 years ago?

My stores are still stocked with Wave 1, but the Voyagers have moved to Wave 2... with Grimlock accompanying them, Leaders have arrived, and one single Target has a Dinobot Slug which is Wave 2. I guess that's still good...

Now that doesn't help me one bit! I don't have figures from any live action movie, so I'm trying to avoid getting both Megatrons. I finally saw the voyager at my local TRU and it looks nice in robot mode, and the scale is nice. Every time I think I'm just going to get the voyager, I keep coming back to that killer jet mode for the leader. Argh!

My local TRU is stuffed with Grimlocks. I think there were at least 9.

I personally saw Hound in my area and wave 2 deluxes have been in my city for awhile at Walmart so slowly but surely they are coming out.


We still have a bunch of TR Sixshots shelf warming here and at least 5 Skyshadows here.

Some were only 5 years old or less 5 years ago and some even were but a twinkle in their father's eye.

I like this figure it's one of better deluxe figures

I am currently working on a comparison review as we speak.

Of all the Transformers: The Last Knight toys in the Premier Edition (which turned out to just mean, "not for very little kids" and nothing else) one of the least anticipated was probably Crosshairs. His original toy was not one of the best in the AOE line and to have a new toy based on that mold peaked almost no one's interest. But things are about to change. Chefatron has a review up of this new mold and does a deep analysis of all that is similar and different between this new toys and the original. In short here is what has been changed:

- The shoulders so that they can be pushed away from his head
- The guns so that they can both be stored under the car
- The forearms for better screen accuracy and less car kibble
- The entire car shell for better screen accuracy and less kibble inrobot mode
- New pieces to evoke the trenchcoat look better
- Even the wheels are different

There are more and you can see it all in the review below.

Yup thats exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully he is easier to transform, I still haven't figured out the trick to getting baricades arms to go in.

As for wave 1 shelfwarming, thats how it is here. Tons of Slash and Grimlock. Haven't seen anything past wave 1 at Wal-Mart, tru, or target with the exception of Skullitron and Megatron at tru and I saw leader Megatron and Optimus at Wal-Mart tonight but had to pass on them since I already bought voyager Optimus. Also, leader Optimus robot mode looks so dinky compared to Megatron.
