KITT will be a new mold that transforms into a David Hasselhoff robot. It will do okay here, but will get 20 variant collector editions in Germany, making it one of the greatest crossover figures of all time!
Most of us that grew up with G1 Transformers, also watched Knight Rider! I, for one, have been begging for this crossover and can't wait to see it! I also believe it will be repainted into K.A.R.R. since Peter Cullen voiced him!
KNIGHT RIDER! YES! FUCK YEAH! IVE BEEN WANTING THIS SINCE 2008 OR WHENEVER THE GOD AWEFULL MUSTANG REBOOT HAPPENED. Made me interested in the original show.
20:36 Now's as good a time as ever to mention this. I wanna see Max Steel 2013 collab with Transformers. Ultralinks would be fun, thing to robot. The guns would be core, yes, but there's others that could be deluxe. Metallac would be a fun deluxe, core to robot. And Max Steel have Speed or base/Strike into the Turbo Bike, and Flight into the Turbo Jet. Which has a lady AI named TJ. So there's options. It could be so cool.
For some reason, the Comic book grimlock has 3 swords. One goes to Slag, one goes to Sludge, and the last one is grim's actual comic sword. So if you do want everyone's swords, you'll need that one. Ah well, I'm not that bothered by that
If the new Vector Prime is using the Aligned continuity design and not the Cybertron design, then it's gone from being my most looked-forward to toy to one that I couldn't care less about.
My wild guess about the price of the Knight Rider one is that it'll either have a pursuit mode or a driver figure, _maybe_ both. The GI Joe ones had figures (though that was largely by dint of being GI Joe tie-ins), so there is precedent.
As long as they DO NOT USE the Tracks mold from Kingdom, I will be all over K.I.T.T. and K.A.R.R. in a heartbeat. If the Tracks mold is used as a base in any capacity then I will immediately consider this collab a total wash. That mold is just not good at all unless you just want it to stand on a shelf and look decent.
I hope it’s ancient for the 13 primes and while I love the cybertron design between the rock formers and the rock like designs from transformers one this could be a cool Segway into insane designs that would be crazy for worldbuilding and shit. Also I hope we get that Prime with the Megs arm cause i want to get the artist to sign the titty windows
for knight rider they could make it a smaller deluxe(earthrise tracks size) but include a black and gold legacy G2 prime repaint with black and gold earthrise trailer.(the truck that acted as a mobile base) or elsewhere it was suggested that they may include a 2nd version of KITT, or KARR. a VS pack like the jurassic park ones, with autobot KITT and decepticon KARR at deluxe size could work. I'd say even better if they make one based on the original and the other based on the sequel, and you can swap badges to choose which character is which version.
Funny that people call the CoP/Aligned version of the Thirteen their "demigod" mode; to me they kinda downplayed that aspect of the group. The FunPub placed them as "each serving a function vital to the survival of the universe", and yet since then they seem to play more as archetypes of Transformer roles (the combiner, the scientist, the Mini-Con, the beastformer...). Vector is really the only one that's kept his role and power as guardian of space-time, while The Fallen and Prima have gone from "guardian of entropy" and "guardian of order" respectively to "berserker" and "prototype Prime". Also not sure where you got the idea that animation Concept Art was completely out of the table; my understanding from that transcript was that at least the 86 movie was on the table if they had actual art.
HasTak: *has the Porsche license, opening up the opportunity to do MP Jazz and Cliffjumper* Also HasTak: *decides to do Ginrai aka Powermaster Optimus Prime, meaning we’re now at a total of four MP Optimus Primes and zero Jazzes or Cliffjumpers*
Masterpieces don’t appear overnight. I’m sure there’s years of development that go into it. They’ve been working on Ginrai far before they knew they’d get the Porsche license
Currently the Yen is weak against the Dollar! My 11yr old son loves Knightrider he's been watching the repeats since he was little, his first love is Transformers, so it's a win-win situation for him.
I genuinely hope its actually cybertron vector prime and not the lame aligned one, because thats gonna kill most people’s interest(myself included) since the cybertron one was an actual character plus the leaked name said “cyber” vector prime
I've been debating whether I should shell out for all five leader-class dinobots, since I know where to get Slug, Sludge, and Snarl, and heard that Grimlock is getting a package refresh next year. Based on your experience, do you think it's worth getting all five, or should I just make do with the core class figures I already have? Side note, I got my Shard figure today and she is fantastic, you'll love her.
@@TJOmega no sooner did I read this reply than Snarl sold out on both of the major vendors I use. Thanks for the advice anyway, and look forward to Shard, she's a very nice toy.
I asked for a new Ginrai, I did not ask for a Masterpiece. Wanna compare which is ambitious between God Ginrai and Robot Base GX? Also, speaking of Beyblade, it's Beyblade X! They have been making lots of collabs, and Transformers is the next step. Gonna be curious about what Blades should be used for a Transformers reskin.
Wait, isn’t that Stranger Things van a regular Volkswagen? actually aren’t 90% of the OB regular cars? Yes, please give me kit and give me super pursuit mode.
I'm glad we are getting the car in cybertron hotshot I been wanting to get a transformer that turns into a cool supercar and I grew up with the unicron trilogy and Cybertron hotshot was my favorite hotshot and Cybertron has been criminally misrepresented before legacy toyline and the apc hotshot has been done so horribly for so long outside the og version
That's not why clear plastic breaks more easily, it's a factor of the material, not the handling. It happens to collectors, too. I've had toys literally self destruct at their clear parts.
They might make Cybertron defense Hotshot as a pretool for a new Roadbuster. Kind of a reverse of how they did things like back in the days of Universe 2.0
Completely agreed, if the Primes end up this overly-greebled design aesthetic that doesn't meld with anything else on the shelves then immediately I'll consider them a wash. The Primes absolutely need to be their most iconic renditions given new toys, and the ones that don't have iconic designs should be given ones that fit the CHUG aesthetic. The Aligned Continuity designs are borderline Bayformers, and I genuinely don't like them or how uninspired they look.
Swoop comes with his own sword and Grimlock's. Comic Book Grimlock comes with the comics version of his own sword plus the ones for Sludge and Slag. And all of that really annoys the hell out of me. I don't want either of those releases. Hasbro! Weapon packs, damnit!!
Meh Paddles-Schmaddles, Scorn-Schmorn.... the only 5th Dinobot I want to see is an all new Slash figure at least in the current Voyager size. Yes kids, even after all these years, I'm still disappointed in her lousy official toy debut from the PotP line.
It's not a good Swoop. It's an OK Swoop with a kinda bad alt mode. For me it's the shape of the wings that bothers me more than the size. Whatever, tho. I was never gonna get him. I'd rather have a legends scale one since pteranodons aren't that big. Just not sure yet which one I want yet. Newage Freyr is pretty awesome, but doesn't match the style of the SS86 Dinotbots. DX9 Skyer matches well, but the transformation is a little off. (And really hard to find) PotP Swoop is bigger than I'd like and is a little lacking in articulation. And finally Legacy Swoop is pretty much the right size but is a bit more lacking in articulation.
A little disappointed with swoop. His arms could have flipped into his torso and swapped places with side fillers to make his body more sleek. Accurate but ugly. Conflicting
I love how animated and authenticated TJ was when he read that comment from the designer on how fragile translucent plastic is.

If we want a cleaner yet less accurate Swoop, in theory his arms can go into his shins.
The rare News Round up Tuesday.
I found Gamer Edition Sideswipe and Concept Art Sunstreaker at Target yesterday. Swoop is bound to be out in the wild somewhere by now.
For some reason, the Comic book grimlock has 3 swords. One goes to Slag, one goes to Sludge, and the last one is grim's actual comic sword. So if you do want everyone's swords, you'll need that one. Ah well, I'm not that bothered by that
Sherman damn is the name of the damn from episode 2.
If the new Vector Prime is using the Aligned continuity design and not the Cybertron design, then it's gone from being my most looked-forward to toy to one that I couldn't care less about.
HELL YEAH!!! TRANSFORMER BEYBLADES WAS MY CHILDHOOD DREAM!!!!
Swoop didn't really impressive me, but that's just because I already have the Newage one, which I think looks way better
My wild guess about the price of the Knight Rider one is that it'll either have a pursuit mode or a driver figure, _maybe_ both. The GI Joe ones had figures (though that was largely by dint of being GI Joe tie-ins), so there is precedent.
I'm in Australia !!!
I like the cab release alone. If I could I would grab a second cab for the recent Hasbro Armada prime to display him in front of his super mode.
Good part, Kup!! Tell Swoop Good part!!
MP Ginrai? I think Hasbro/Takara got mixed up which should be MP and which should be Haslab.
Why would Omega Prime get MP treatment before Ginrai?
@@TaurusOxford Unlike Ginrai, Omega Prime has actually been seen on both sides of the Pacific AND has two recognizable names attached to him.
Clearly the Knight Rider crossover will be a robot that turns into a life size David Hasselhoff
I'm super excited for KITT!
I'd love it if was a 2 pack with KITT and KARR as DLX car bots.
As long as they DO NOT USE the Tracks mold from Kingdom, I will be all over K.I.T.T. and K.A.R.R. in a heartbeat. If the Tracks mold is used as a base in any capacity then I will immediately consider this collab a total wash.

KNIGHT RIDER!!!! Finally :)
I'm a little bummed that it might not be Cybertron Vector Prime. That's the design I think looks coolest for him.
They are just trying to find a use for the Windcharger mold… oh wait…. Not out yet
for knight rider they could make it a smaller deluxe(earthrise tracks size) but include a black and gold legacy G2 prime repaint with black and gold earthrise trailer.(the truck that acted as a mobile base)
or elsewhere it was suggested that they may include a 2nd version of KITT, or KARR.

I had 5 pre-orders hit on April 1st as well. I would have had 7 but Cannonball and Lockdown were both sold out on Hasbro's site

Swoops probably gonna be the only other dinobot Ill grab other then grimlock. The others didn’t speak to me but this one does
What if the Knight Rider Collab is a Optimus Re-Tool for the Semi Truck from Knight Rider.
I feel like everybody who collects transformers know who night rider is. And I think it’s going to do a lot better than that JP five.
God I really hope vector prime isn’t the ancient design, the Cybertron design is better
I wouldn't say either is that much better than the other, but I do want the one that actually has colours lol
I know we had the leaked details about the figures and the guy said Vector Prime is a Jhiaxus remold that’s the Cybertron design.
Could maybe be like an imbetween step, and they can repaint/remold it later to be like the other.
NO WAY I LOVE SKYBOUND OPTIMUS IM SO HAPPY
MPG Chou Ginrai will definitely be better than the Trains. Because he won't have a clear shell.
They should've just been inserts for the windows.
I really hope the vector prime is just the one from cybertron, especially including his minicon, sword, and key.
YES YES YES YES YES YES! KNIGHT RIDER! YES YES YES YES YES YES! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THEY STARTED COLLABS
IIRC, one of the reboots did have KARR transform (while still being voiced by Peter Cullen).

It's an expensive route to take getting all at once, but they're all very, very good figures.
@@TJOmega no sooner did I read this reply than Snarl sold out on both of the major vendors I use. Thanks for the advice anyway, and look forward to Shard, she's a very nice toy.
I've been waiting for a new powermaster prime for years. So far, i am so excited for it. it looks great.
I have shard myself. she's awesome
I preordered her on BBTS and about a day or two later I got the email saying it hit my pile of loot
I asked for a new Ginrai, I did not ask for a Masterpiece.

Really wish Shard was clear. It would probably hold up if general purchasers didn't ham hand their toys so much.
That's not why clear plastic breaks more easily, it's a factor of the material, not the handling. It happens to collectors, too. I've had toys literally self destruct at their clear parts.
They could inflate KITT's price by giving you parts to replicate the pursuit mode, combining them into a shield or weapon of some sort for robot mode
KITT as pretool for Windcharger?
14:27 is the most Transformers fan thing ever.
you could show this to someone outside the fandom and theyd have no idea why hes so animated lmaoooo
I've been wishing for Kitt ever since they released ecto 1 and back to the future DeLorean
They might make Cybertron defense Hotshot as a pretool for a new Roadbuster. Kind of a reverse of how they did things like back in the days of Universe 2.0
I really want Vector Prime to be his Cybertron design and the Fallen his War Within look. I'm not a fan of the designs from the Aligned continuity
Completely agreed, if the Primes end up this overly-greebled design aesthetic that doesn't meld with anything else on the shelves then immediately I'll consider them a wash.

And all of that really annoys the hell out of me.
I don't want either of those releases.
Hasbro!
Weapon packs, damnit!!
I am in on kitt
I find it odd that takara is interrupting the Trainbot repaints to do Ginrai.
Waiting for Swoop to watch some OG G1 with my 5 year old
They’re cooking everything but 86 prime
Leader swoop is finally happening! But, personally, I prefer Dinobot combiners.
Except for that abomination, which I will not mention outside of this comment. If you know what I’m talking about, you know what I’m talking about.
Cang Toys has you covered.
Also we probably won’t see another Volcanicus for 3 years.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 I don’t mind getting one every three years.

Yes kids, even after all these years, I'm still disappointed in her lousy official toy debut from the PotP line.
