Cogman

Revision as of 20:52, 20 October 2020 by Supacool9 (talk | contribs) (→Notes)
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.

Toys

The Last Knight

This may be 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.
This mold is also used to make Movie Edition Dropkick.


He studied at the "Bad Taste Academy" of "Mold-on-Crumpet".
  • Cogman (1-Step Turbo Changer, 2017)
    • Japanese Release Date: September 16 2017
    • 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)
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 (conveniently interpreting the screw inside the figure's chest as the circular section on Cogman's onscreen chest), 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 [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Aston Martin DB11|{{#if:||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.
The Titan Master's legs have forward-facing tabs at the knees that interfere with the arms in head mode. Either the arms or legs are going to stick out unless the tabs are cut off, though the arms sticking out are less intrusive.
In the United States, this figure saw abysmal distribution, with only one confirmed sighting at normal brick and mortar retail, though more did eventually filter out through discount chains like Ross and Marshalls. By contrast, he was considerably more common in other Hasbro markets, inducing European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy. The Japanese version, meanwhile, was originally slated for an October 28 release, but was eventually delayed till the last day of 2017.


Generations

Studio Series

The name's Bond. James Bond
Studio Series Cogman is a redeco of the The Last Knight Deluxe figure above, replacing most of his paint wash with shinier paint on most of his robot body and all his vehicle mode shells. He comes with redecos of the Talisman sword and Titan Master accessories from the original version of the mold, as well as a cardboard backdrop display depicting the London chase with the TRF and MI6. This version of Cogman is considerably easier to find than the original version, with at least 2 making their way to the shelves to at least 1 store.


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 transtector was scripted for the movie but ultimately went unfilmed. The respective toys retain the ability to swap heads, however.
  • The Cogman Kreon who appears in the Legends comic uses the smaller Kreon body from the Kre-O "Cityville Invasion" brand.
  • Amusingly, the Studio Series toy bio references Cogman's question to Burton on whether he had time to have a snuggle with Agnes.
