Thanks again to fellow 2005 Boards user Nevermore, we get some interesting pictures of TLK toys. This time we have Transformers: The Last Knight 1-Step Turbo Changer Dragonstorm and Voyager Scorn Official Photos From Amazon.
The pictures surfaced on Amazon Germany and they give us a nice look of Dragonstorm robot mode and Voyagers Scorn packaging and both modes.
You can click on the bar to see the pictures and then share your thoughts at the 2005 Boards.

Scorn looks a lot less boxy in these new pictures than the first time around. Seeing as I missed the Deluxe I definitely want this Voyager.
Still not going in on one-Steps as much as I love Dragonstorm. If there is a Leader coming it cannot come fast enough.

He's a Mega 1-Step Turbo Changer. He's a HUGE toy, but classified as a 1-Step.

You sure that Draqgonstorm is a one step? Never seen one with a removable tail. Looks like a three step changer to me.

It was , I think . But I personally enjoy the voyagers more for some reason .

Well people were also thinking about him too me included. I forgot to place that there in the post.

And not Cybertron Scourge? Scourge actually was a three headed dragon and Prime Predaking wasn't.

The movie verse toys don't like to push the bad guys. Little Johny needs to look up to bumble bee lol

To be fair it's a fair assumption to think Dragonstorm would be a new take on Prime's version of Predaking like how some people assume he would be Megatron's new alt mode before we found out who he really is. I mean those had happen before in the brand before TLK so it was fair to theorize about them.
Thing is not everyone believes that movie adaptations of anything will be the most definitive one all be all version ever especially if what they adapted put them off big time. Are they the most well known though? Oh most certainly but that still doesn't change that not everyone will find any change or adaptation to be their favourite if not outright hate it. Like how some Marvel fans aren't too crazy about everything the MCU does if not outright dislike it's approach. We should keep that in mind because while the movies do things I like better then other TF series that doesn't mean it's the definitive for me. It's more like among the most well known and iconic TF series out that alongside G1. You are most certainly right about people will always be furious and mad no matter what the TF movies do though so that's why I'm not mad about the TF movies doing their own things like new characters and all that because I like that it's not afraid to try something different every now and then and makes me excited to see what new characters will be brought into the TF franchise.
Besides Dragonstorm visually wise anyway honestly has more in common with Cybertron Scourge/Galaxy Force Flame Convoy since that character actually has three heads in dragon mode whereas Prime Predaking only has one head so if Dragonstorm was named someone else it would be based off of Cybertron Scourge.

I thought it was confirmed Dragonstorm would get a leader class?

If anything, Scorn looks less interesting than the deluxe version…

Just notice the 'jaws' on Scorn's hips are the wrong way up. The teeth should be facing upwards in robot mode. At least it's easily fixed if the production copies are assembled the same.
There's a leader due. Can't wait to see what it's like. If anything like Megatron I'll be very happy.
Plus not everything from AOE was leaked on the Hasbro CS site. The deluxe Hot Shot wasn't on there, though other unreleased deluxes were. But there were also a couple of waves of 1 steps and Power Battlers that weren't listed. I think it's just a case of listings for the first three waves are prepared earlier on and then later waves are listed, er, later.

Dragonstorm aka shards of metal being cleaned up with a magnet.
Scorn looks cool, minus the dumb color scheme.

Look, I mean, there will be people who are angry no matter what, myself included, so that's that.
All I'm saying is the whole Beast Hunters arc with it's dragon theme and such is so overtly, overtly intended to
be the visual/storytelling precursor to TLK, that for them to not at least try tying in the characters they already created name-wise I think is lame.
Obviously this whole thing of him being an Autobot would rile some feathers, but still, it's a 3-headed dragon in black and orange…
And while I don't agree at all with random appropriations of old character names for new robot designs,
I still prefer it to entirely new names. After all, yes, we've gotten new characters/new toys in every iteration of the franchise,
but looking at every other Hollywood series, these big-budget movies are supposed to be the most representative, the most
definitive versions of these characters. So I think it's an odd place to start dropping in new Bots…

God oh god let there be a voyager RAGONSTORM ! I love the movie animal bots

I mean why? If the movies had a three-headed dragon named 'Predaking' first, there would be an uproar. "OMG, he's a combiner, not a giant beast…'
However, if it's something like Prime, then not much of a deal for some reason.
Now because Prime Predaking existed first, you want the three-headed dragon to be called that? Geez…. And supposedly this is a good guy so no….

Skullitron, Infernocus + Quintessa are also part of the MTC.

YES. I found someone who agrees! Ever since Toy Fair I've been the only one I've seen saying how ugly he looks in dino mode. The head looks great in dino mode! The articulated tail is great! The three spike rows are great! But none of that is worth crap if its all connected to a bricky awkward looking torso. At least his bot mode looks okay.
