Via the digital version of Peruvian newspaper El Comercio Peru, we have some Transformers: The Last Knight Leader Dragonstorm, Deluxe Crosshairs And Strafe New/Larger Stock Photos that are included in the official Hasbro Peru digital catalogue.
There are new pictures for Crosshairs robot mode and Strage packaging. While the rest of the pictures were reported before, all of them are much larger.
You can check the pictures after the jump and then sound off your opinions at the 2005 Boards!

Yep. I know TLK didn't do as well as previous movies but it was still a big movie that made more money than most will this year. It's crazy to think that Hasbro doesn't think these movies are worth all new toys in the first couple waves anymore.

I'm in for that Crosshairs, passed on the old one cause of the stupid lazy half painted deco but man. All I see at my local stores is wave 1 still. A case of wave 2 voyageres has shown up here and there but that's pretty much it.
Personally, I think Hasbro really fucked it up by making wave 1 so heavy on old releases.

I really don't like the inexplicable orange on Dragonstorm. I think if those components stuck to the robots' paint schemes more closely, the dragon mode wouldn't look as horrible. Besides the aforementioned jack'o lantern heads, the robot modes look incredibly badass, and might justify my purchase. The Crosshairs mold looks far better than the AoE one, but the lack of robot paint is a crippling failure. There cannot be a logical enough excuse to justify the lack of goggle and limb details. The Strafe looks really cool. Strafe is actually one of my favorite Deluxes to come out of the Wahlburg movies, and while i don't need another, I'd go for it had I not acquired the AoE retail one already. Though not technically part of this thread, these ones are still part of Wave 3, so I'll refer to them too. W3 Bee is certainly a net improvement over…well…nearly all previous Deluxe Bees in terms of modes and general sculpt. However, the head sculpt looks seriously terrible, probably because of the eyes, so I imagine that attempting to splice a DotM/AoE head successfully would do wonders. If Cyberfire BB is Murder-Bee, this Bee is 'small dog trying to get a treat"-Bee. Doesn't roll of the tongue, though. Cogman looks absolutely incredible. Instant buy.

Exactly. Why not have nearly all the lines out while the hype is high? In 07 their figures were flying off the shelves. It's almost August and I have yet to see much past wave one. There may be a few wave 2s around but that's it. I've noticed my stores aren't even restocking wave 1 figures…
EnerJohn
No worries, I'm not offered. That said, I'm not a G1 fan at all. I became a TF fan from the 2007 movie. I've just become disappointed with how things have gone with Hasbro. I wss a very big defender of the TF movie and their designs.
TCJJ
I'm surprised it took Crosshairs this long to come out. It's an okay mould, but I do really appreciate all the retooling they did to clean up a lot of the pegs and panels from the original version.
Now if only they could have made a brand new figure entirely. Maybe next time…?
Liege Prime
Sales might have been good for the new molds in wave 1 for the first month. Voyager Prime sold well, at first. Barricade and Dredd(?) seemed to sell pretty good to. But, wave 1 was all that stayed on shelves for the next couple months through the launch of the actual movie. So, we had two voyagers, one being a repaint of a figure that has been repainted about a dozen times and was cheaper a few years ago, along with a wave of deluxes with a couple repaints that were cheaper a few years ago. This was basically the big movie toy push all through the hype and launch of the movie. That's not… not really impressive.
Man, my memories of the 2007 movie toys… now THAT was a way to do movie toys. A whole new line with all new figures in all size classes. Over time there were some shelf warmers but the line did really well and I kept finding new things actually showing up on shelves at a good pace.

With the movie being shit , and oversized deluxe packaging taking up so much space, these will get clearanced in no time yay!
Love that Strafe mold.
Megatron276
Need these. That crosshairs is way better than the aoe mold. Might have to paint him up just a tad but it\'s okay. Dragon storm will be repainted …..period. My aoe strafe broke so will buy this one…just need these , new bb , and. Cogman then done
WEEGEE
Oh so creative EnerJohn.
Here let me fix it.
Dear TF fandom,
I like anything G1. I don't care if people might like the movies and toys. I'm taking a joke to personally. Even though the G1 figures were made out of bricks, I love em. I'm a sheep and I think everything G1 is amazeballs. I don't believe anyone should share their opinion unless I agree with it. And anyone who does share their hurtful opinion has lost credibility.
Seriously though dude its just a joke. It was not meant to offend you.
Anguirus
My understanding for Crosshairs is that he's a reshell (which the design lends itself to) to streamline car mode. Instead of one movie-accurate gun and two mini pistols/bombs, he comes with two of the movie-accurate gun. And he has both sides painted, rather than the inexplicable deco failure that kept me from buying in '14.
EnerJohn
Agreed. ALL the stores in my area have only a few of wave one. There are no voyagers or leaders, not even shelf holders for leaders. Not even Jada can be found in stores. You're right, the hype is down if not dead. I would like to get my hands on a leader Megatron though. I wonder what the sales numbers look like for TLK toy line. They don't seem to be selling vey well at all, at least in my area they aren't.
EnerJohn
Oh so creative weegee.
Here let me fix it.
Dear TF movie fandom,
I like anything shit. I don't care if the movies and toys have become complete shit. I'm just grateful we're getting something. If the figures were made out dog shit, I'd love em. I'm a sheep and I think all the movies and toys are amazeballs. I don't believe anyone should share their opinion unless I agree with it. And anyone who does share their hurtful opinion has lost credibility.

Not gonna lie, I really wish he featured red/blue paint for the goggles. Doesn't feel like 1 drop of each color would really cost much.
I am glad it is not a total repaint of the AoE version, though. The arms are a new mold, so you don't have that car panel overlapping the hands like before. I will miss the rubber pieces to simulated his "coat" in robot mode, but they also made car mode difficult to hold together.
AbovegroundRuler
wtf Crasshairs doesnt have paint on his goggles
CrossHero
I will try to get that Dragonstorm. The colors might be a bit on the odd side but I like that mold, especially those wings. I don´t care about the rest. Crosshairs might be an improvement when it comes to the mold but the paint is a big step backwards and I already own Black Knight Strafe so that one is an easy pass. I just hope my store gets those figures but I am not too worried because he also got wave 2. Does someone know when wave 3 will be released?
Powerglide1991
As far as im aware its a new mold based off the old one, kinda like Chromedome from CW Deadend. New mold but has the same basic transformation with new bits to accommodate the TR gimmick
DecepticusPrime
What are the actual mold differences between this crosshairs and the AOE version? Besides the guns..
Starscream 91
I skipped Slug & Slash but I really love the Strafe mold so I'll get this minor repaint.
Having said that I sit in anticipation for BBTS to put up preorders for Crosshairs, Strafe, Bee, & especially Cogman. Don't count on retailers stuck in the Wave 1 quicksand.

Good luck getting these….although you probably have them…..wave one, as usual, was over ordered…and now that the big cardboard ailse thingys are gone, the shelves are stacked with them….like I said in another thread…better grab em when you see em, cause stores are very stupid, and cannot discern new stuff from old…they only see quantity.
