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.
Toys
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. Most 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.

Knight Armor Turbo Changers
Broadly similar to the Three-Step Changers of Robots in Disguise, these larger figures feature a unified "Knight Armor" gimmick with spring-loaded deployable helmets.
| Wave 1 | Wave 2 | Wave 3 |
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.
References
- ↑ Though all these figures have either been revealed or released through official retailers in either Asia or Australia, Hasbro itself has not acknowledged any of them thus far, and the only sources pointing to them being Target exclusives in the United States are Asian retailers referring to the Voyager Class figure as a Target exclusive. However, the same sources previously identified Legion Class Hot Rod as a Walmart exclusive before Hasbro officially revealed the figure, so we're giving them the benefit of the doubt.
