Hasbro Peru Transformers: The Last Knight Toyline Release Info

Hoffman

I'm sorry, I'll go take my son's toy away from him and tell him he's not allowed to play with it because the internet said so.

Bro.all I'm saying you don't see 3 year olds looking for movie Transformers unless on odd ocasions..But for the most part, meaning I've never in none of the city's I live in saw any 3 year looking for movie especially nor one step versioms..And us fans giving out son something is a little different then the point I wss originally making. Which us the retail chains help it so the real fan whatever age the one that wants transformers that transform, looses out because it takes up real estate in the isles. Amd when it sells slow it can go bad for the fans.. anyways I wasn't starting the convo yo argue with somebody we both have points coming from 2 different reasons. I've been on your side arguing about 3 steps so let's just drop it bro it's not a big deal to keep talking about it to me. You cant solve the problem & neither can i.

No 3 year Olds play with one steps. My point was the one step movie figures don't really.work. And there is no 3 years playing with them, so that's a lame reason. They like Rescue Bots and there are plenty of things they can do for 3 year Olds that won't confuse the retailers. One Steps confuse the shit out of them the are literally sold right next to the generations figures and THAT is my point.

I'm sorry, I'll go take my son's toy away from him and tell him he's not allowed to play with it because the internet said so.

Oh man I hope we get an actual Legion Grimlock this time and not another orange BH Rippersnapper.

You sir need to calm down.

haha ok I'll take that into consideration. I was just making a point bc the small towns will suffer from it when it was just mainline figures and a few other lines like FABs, Roleplay, & Real Gear (that was basically it other then preschool section Robot Heroes which are awesome) the retailers weren't short on good figures. Now the generations or deluxe lines suffer if the one steps do bad, and if the 3 steps do bad, and if the next gimmick line does bad ect.

Yep. Jupiter is Optimus. But if you look at the Peru list you can see the 4th 1-Step Figure of Wave 1 is Optimus. There is one figure name and it's 'Four Moons'. Since we knew Jupiter is Optimus I was unsure why Four Moons is Optimus too.

I think it was the legions rather than the one steps we have the code names for, but the same's still true.

Hoffman

Is there any reason to assume that the same code name applies to the same character across size classes?

It's what happened with AOE, and there's not much point having code names if they don't consistently refer to the same character. They may just as well call them all 'deluxe' or 'voyager'.

SilverOptimus

Back with some official info. Remember the Three-Steps line I mentioned on a news post? Guess what? There are about 6 figures (may not be the final number) and 4 of them are AOE repaints.

Must be repaints of the flip and change figures I'm guessing. It amazes me that for RID they are constantly making new moulds of the same characters. I think a couple of them have even had three different one steps. CW and TR obviously have had multiple mould reuses, but that's within the single line, and even many of those were heavy retools. But for the movie they're avoiding new moulds where they can, even though it's been three years since the last line. It's almost like they feel the movie lines are just something to get done out of the way. At least AOE was all new modes except one (I'm not counting the Takara Movie Advance extras here).

And a another reason why I don't think there are preview figures is that they've all been given a date of April or May, but First Edition Optimus came out in February and the First Edition Optimus Helmet is out this month or next month.

I just wish for something like last time when they had both the code names and the actual names. With Bumblebee, Barricade, Crankcase, Slash, Optimus and Grimlock confirmed, it's scary to predict what will happen with the rest. The only repaint I want to see and hopefully the last Dinobot is Snarl. Is figure with that and Slash I can get the Platinum Dinobot set.

I wouldn't say it's "clearly" not the main line, given that no info has leaked about any other lineup.

Is there any reason to assume that the same code name applies to the same character across size classes?

No i dont think Optimus Prime, Prime is "Jupiter". But something tells me you know that, although I'm not sure why you would guess that if that's the case.

Yep. Jupiter is Optimus. But if you look at the Peru list you can see the 4th 1-Step Figure of Wave 1 is Optimus. There is one figure name and it's 'Four Moons'. Since we knew Jupiter is Optimus I was unsure why Four Moons is Optimus too.

Why the **** is Hasbro still doing movie One Step figures!!?? So ****ing dumb! They don't even transform in one step IN the movie so why make em that way for the toy. And on top of that just cuz RiD sold one steps doesn't mean the AOE line did. NOW hopefully your way wrong & they redid that line with a new twist and working joints, even if just a few more, in the figures.

Im so sick of tons of toys that don't sell taking up realistate on shelves places like walmart only put out movie stuff for a month tops (if that) and anything that doesn't sell will all get put in one spot & they look at it as all the same if they sell horrible on everything but the Premier line (equivalent to Generations) but those do really good, they will just call it a failure all together in most locations. And Kmart is even worse about that situation. Look at Star Wars episode 7 the onky thjng that sold were the Black Series but Kmart wouldn't touch Star Wars this year when Rouge One came out. And walmart wouldn't touch it for the same reasons UNTIL Rouge One came out!! Uggh!!! Bring back the Fast Action Battlers!! Robot Replicas, the Mainline, & ONE gimmick line more. That's all u need Hasbro! Other then the role play stuff

I have great news for you: you're not required to buy them.

The slow trickle of information is increasing, but Hasbro has done an impressive job at keeping most of the line under wraps until the very end. One week to Toy Fair!

SilverOptimus

Squeek is the one character I did not want as a Deluxe figure.

Now I really have doubts there will be no Hooligan, Mohawk, Cogman and McLaren.
