A new 3P company enters to the market. Transcraft is showing, via Weibo, their first mold: Moxigan (The Last Knight Mohawk).
This mold is supposed to be around 12 cm tall in robot mode, and planned for the Masterpiece scale. The robot mode looks fairly movie-accurate with a nice amount of articulation points. The motorcycle mode sure looks solid and compact. The Last Knight Mohawk is one of those characters who still has not got a figure, and we are sure this project may catch the attention of Movieverse collectors.
Remember that this is an early prototype, and some changes may be done in the future. Still no concrete information on price or release date, but you can check out all the images after the jump. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Hasbro got the license from saleen to make a SALEEN Mustang. Ford said no which is why TLK Barricade isn't licensed.

They are two distinct licenses, the movies also had licensing issues having to make customized cars.

Yeah except it’s been almost exactly 5 years since the movie came out. I’ve lost interest anyways at this point. Just glad we have this Mohawk figure.

Fucking nitro mold has been released 3 times and not one of them has had the shockwave head! Why?? And why has no 3P done a new head for him (excluding the shapeways one cause it looks really bad IMO)??
Yes exactly this. TLK was the only financial flop of the franchise, and even if it had made money, hasbro knows by now that OT merch sells way better. I mean it's half their fault that aoe and tlk stuff didn't sell as well (cause they botched those toylines) but either way they're not gonna take responsibility they're just gonna focus on other things.

Bumblebee’s budget was nearly $100 million lower and had a much lower marketing push, making it a financial success. The last Knight had the largest budget and marketing push of any Transformers movie, meaning despite them making ok money compared to other movies, the studio still lost $100 million on the movie. Losing money on a movie deems it a failure.
As to licensing, mustang tends to be annoying with licensing out their cars. It’s why the deluxe TLK barricade toy didn’t resemble the real car at all.

What’s licensing have to do with anything?
and the movie really didn’t flop it made more then bumblebee yet that’s a success
idk we’ve gotten worse TF5 Characters in the SS already like the WW2 characters and cogman so we should get the cons eventually
it’s a line for all the movies and people will buy them since we’ve never gotten most of them
I would buy them in a heartbeat
octobotimus
Most likely answer: Licensing and the movie flopped.
ReadyParzivalOne
Can this company or someone please make a fully accurate nitro and onslaught to go with him please
why won’t the studio series marked mohawk dreadbot nitro onslaught berserker or barricade??

Hey folks, I've done a quick review of Mohican if anyone fancies.
ReadyParzivalOne
Is he available on BBTS??
Shmoptimus Prime
Still loving my gray version but seeing your pics I definitely think the black version looks better. This is a really fun figure tho! I was expecting Microscope to be the star but Mozart is more fun.
Mad Prime
Shmoptimus Prime
Bingo.
