Cogman

Cogman is an Autobot Headmaster from The Last Knight portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

"Fetching a rug, sir."

As the faithful, enduring manservant of the Burton family, the Headmaster Cogman has safeguarded generations of Witwiccans for seven centuries, protecting and maintaining the family's collection of secret artifacts. As a butler, bodyguard, and chauffeur, he's everything you could ask for—polite, proper, possessing a healthy respect for tradition, and unafraid to throw out a dry quip or two.

That said, he's developed more than a few.. eccentricities over his hundreds of years of servitude, including an unfortunate streak of "anger management" issues. This latter trait frequently causes problems for his latest charge, Sir Edmund Burton.

Don't kill the messenger. Or the messenger will kill you.Cogman, The Last Knight

This maybe the only Cogman toy you have a hope to find at normal retail.

• Cogman (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2017)
  • Series: 2
  • Bag Code: D

Released as part of the second series of the blind-packed Tiny Turbo Changers line, Cogman is a small, soft-plastic super-deformed toy that transforms from a robot into an unlicensed approximation of an Aston Martin DB11 in a few steps. He has articulated shoulders, and his hands are compatible with Cyberverse weapons and other 3mm-peg accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle mode's wheels are immobile, sorry.

He studied at the "Bad Taste Academy" of "Mold-on-Crumpet".

• Cogman (1-Step Turbo Changer, 2017)
  • Japanese Release Date: 2017-09-16
  • Japanese ID Number: TLK-26

Part of the third wave of The Last Knight 1-Step Turbo Changers, Cogman transforms from a robot into an unlicensed approximation of an Aston Martin DB11 in just one step by twisting his rear vehicle, with a custom spoiler to balance his robot mode. As part of the Cyberfire gimmick, he features flame deco printed in "invisible" UV-reactive ink, which can be revealed by Mega 1-Step Dragonstorm's Cyberfire UV lamp.

"That's how it starts, sir. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... cruel."

• Cogman (Deluxe Class, 2017)
  • Japanese release date: 2017-10-28 2017-12-31
  • Japanese ID number: TLK-29
  • Accessories: Sword, Titan Master

Cogman was released as part of the fourth and final wave of The Last Knight Premier Edition Deluxe Class lineup. Cogman himself is a Titans Return compatible Titan Master figure, capable of transforming into his diminutive "true" robot mode. He is packaged with a Deluxe Class sized transtector (referred to as such by the toy design team) that transforms from a robot into a licensed Aston Martin DB11. Cogman's head mode is compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return toy, as well as The Last Knight Nitro, whose non-transforming head can be removed to expose a compatible neck socket. In vehicle mode, Cogman's transtector can seat two Titan Masters. He also comes with a 5mm sword accessory modelled after the sword form of Cade's Talisman.

Notes

• Although Cogman is described as a Headmaster by Sir Edmund during The Last Knight, he never actually demonstrates the ability on-screen.
  • A scene involving Cogman beheading Nitro Zeus and using his body like a transector was scripted for the movie but ultimately went unfilmed. The respective toys retain the ability to swap heads however.
