Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)

The Transformers: The Last Knight toyline coincides with the fifth film in Michael Bay's live-action film series.

The toyline follows the same basis as the previous film's layout, with the majority of figures falling into two sublines:

• Turbo Changers, which encompasses most of the simple-to-transform toys aimed towards younger children.
• Premier Edition, encompassing the "traditional" Deluxe, Voyager and Leader pricepoints, for older children and adult fans.

Along with the standard The Last Knight toys, Takara also released a toyline called Movie The Best to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of the live action film series.

Turbo Changers

Tiny Turbo Changers

Tiny transforming figures based on characters from the entire live-action film series, packaged in blind bags. The reverse of the bags feature both a small clear window on the lower right and an embossed letter on the lower left, allowing easy identification of which figure you're getting.

1-Step Turbo Changers

A slightly different name for prior lines' One-Step Changers, with several molds reused from the Age of Extinction line. All of the figures feature flame deco printed in UV-reactive invisible ink, which can be revealed with the UV "Cyberfire" light in the large Mega 1-Step Turbo Changer Dragonstorm figure. Despite appearing as prefixes in several online retailers' listings for the wave 1 figures, the term "Cyberfire" doesn't actually appear as a gimmick call-out on the toys' packaging until wave 3.

Mega 1-Step Turbo Changer Dragonstorm

Premier Edition

The Generations-type figures for The Last Knight are collected under the Premier Edition banner, explicitly marketed to the adult collector as well as older children. As part of this approach, Deluxe figures are packaged in window boxes, akin to Hasbro's other collector-oriented lines Marvel Legends and Star Wars: The Black Series.

Several molds for all size classes are reused from the Age of Extinction line.

Notes

• A well-known problem occurred again: Various retailers around the world keep listing some of the price points under older working names. Since not all of the price points explicitly identify their respective assortment names on the toys' packaging, this once again resulted in some confusion as to what exactly the price points and gimmicks' correct, final, official names are:
  • The "Knight Armor Turbo Changers" are also referred to as "Armor Up Turbo Changers" by some retailers around the world, even though all multilingual packaging variants call out the "Knight Armor" gimmick in several languages (even spelled "Armour" for the United Kingdom) in addition to the general sub-line name "Turbo Changer".
  • On a similar note, some retailers' listings for the 1-Step Turbo Changers also give the individual figures' names "Cyberfire" prefixes, referring to the gimmick mentioned above, although that prefix doesn't appear anywhere on the packaging. It does finally appear (in the form of a separate logo) on the packaging for the third wave of 1-Step Turbo Changers.
• Similar to the previous film's toy line, Hasbro assigned code names to the toys, which were used by online retailers around the world, sometimes even after official photos depicting the toys in their packaging had been added to those listings, and sometimes even persisting long after the toys had been released at retail. Whereas the Age of Extinction line had used names related to the Rocky film series as code names for the various characters, The Last Knight has two known sets of code names:
  • One of them (presumably the earlier one) simply numbers all figures from the various general retail assortments in sequence, ranging from "TRA 1" (Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime) up to at least "TRA 28" (Deluxe Class Dinobot Slash), although the corresponding code names for some of the later figures are currently unknown so it's likely the numbers go even higher than that.
  • The other set (presumably the later one) assigns each character a name derived from a celestial body (in a very broad meaning of the term), with three characters even being assigned two different names each, depending on whether the toy was a new sculpt or redecoed from a previous line:

• Barricade: "Mars"
• Berserker: "Gamma Ray" / "Green Gamma Ray"
• Bumblebee (new sculpt): "Saturn"
• Bumblebee (redeco): "Gas Giant"
• Cogman: "Zodiac"
• Crosshairs: "Gravity"
• Dragonstorm: "Extra Terrestrial"

• Drift: "Nova"
• Grimlock (new sculpt): "Moon"
• Grimlock (redeco): "Lunar Eclipse"
• Hot Rod: "Saturn Rings"
• Hound: "Super Nova" / "Supernova"
• Megatron: "Pluto"
• Nitro: "Gamma Beam Grey"
• Optimus Prime (new sculpt): "Jupiter"
• Optimus Prime (redeco): "Four Moons"
• Scorn: "Sun"
• Slash: "Shooting Star"
• Slug: "Hot Gas"
• Sqweeks: "Earth"
• Steelbane: "Comet"
• Strafe: "Lightning"
