Transformers Collaborative thread (Agent Knight - Transformers x Knight Rider)

[Exatron]

I don't have any trouble with any one of his weapons, but he has so many weapons that I find I have to be careful about where I grab him to avoid knocking one off. Nothing I'd describe as a fault in the toy, but still a bit irritating to deal with.

I do find that, even though the katanas should be nominally identical, there's a definite left and right one when it comes to vehicle mode. If I put them in one way, everything lines up fine. If I try swapping them, one of the katanas doesn't quite line up with the slots under the front bumper correctly, causing it to have to bend down. Specifically, I have to attach them with the ejector pin circles face down. It's when they're face up that they don't align correctly. Anyone else run into that?

I just remember the old Ninja Turtle toys where their weapons would come on a sprue and they had so many accessories that you instantly start losing them.

So it's nice that they just all fit on this figure, even if it takes takes a soft hand.

One of the swords on mine will *not* peg into either spot underneath. The tolerances between some of the other weapons/spots are finicky. (The heads store fine.)

With seven separate weapons, it's hard to get a perfect score.

I hope I can get one of these. I always wanted a Turtle Van from the cartoon.

I mean, this had its charms...

...but it just wasn't the same.

Of course, I did finally manage to get the Hot Wheel version they released a while back, if nothing else...

Collab Knight Rider revealed, Agent Knight. Digging this a LOT more than I expected. I think it’s the classical Autobot profile they opted for. Many of the collabs felt like they “didn’t belong”, stylistically, but Agent Knight I could see in a group shot of other Autobot cars. And I’m always a sucker for that old-school packaging

Also a good look at TFxJoe Triple T Kup. I think he’s one of the stronger ones thus far. The theming works, and instead of trying to “maintain” Kup’s core look (blue/teal), they integrated his deco with the vehicle. Again, I think everything works FAR better here than in most of the others. And an o-ring Sgt Slaughter (never offered in the US carded in this deco) and Leatherneck are welcome extras. Damn glad to see Hasbro keep bringing in post-84 figures.

That checks a box that's been open for a good forty years.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Sweet, another one off of my crossover checklist. Little bummed he isn't a new character, but I'll make an exception in this case as it'd be weird to have TF that also has an onboard AI.

(Though I guess Beast Wars did that constantly)

EDIT: Oh snap, I didn't realize they gave him electronics too. Damn, that's gonna be pricey but worth it!

 

[Haywire]

Agent Knight is a must-own, and I had Sgt. Slaughter and the Triple T Tank as a kid, so that Kup is also a high-want for me. Now, we just need A-Team and Airwolf crossovers. Mr V and The Lady deserve to be Transformers, too!

 

[Haywire]

Also, they remolded the head on Ectotron when it was re-released, if Agent Knight gets a KARR redeco and reissue, and it DOESN'T have an Optimus Prime-like head, someone at Hasbro is missing the point...

Mad Max's interceptor is probably my most wanted vehicle right now. Either that or the Tim Burton or the Animated Series' Batmobile.

Dom's charger from The Fast and The Furious and the Mystery Machine are up there as well.

 

[Echowarrior]

...so much yes for Agent Knight and Kup as the Triple T.

 

[LordGigaIce]

Turbokat from SwatKats
Galactica from Battlestar Galactica
Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica
A few of the key ships from Star Trek would be cool, with the original Enterprise and the Enterprise D most likely to make some money
Lifeguard SUV from Baywatch to complete Team Hoff

 

[ChessPieceFace]

Agent Knight looks fantastic! And suspiciously like he could share engineering with an Omnibot Overdrive...

 

[Sabrblade]

He's likely a brand new mold made especially for himself since he has electronic lights and sounds built-in.

Hearing the Omnibot namedrop in stream while not getting any new toys of any of the trio since Binaltech Overdrive stung a little.

I had the same thought, he'll fit right in with the Datsun bros the same way IIRC Gigawatt looked good with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. And after Gigawatt and now Agent Knight, oh and Jurassic Park I'm not sure if there's any big collaborations I'm pining for.

Fingers crossed they do a slight remold and make KARR though, and that the electronics don't bump up the price too much.

Yeah, I just can't decide which Batmobile I'd want more, but I'm leaning towards the Tim Burton one.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I'd go the Adam West or Super Powers Batmobile myself.

I'd also love The Mystery Machine, something from Star Trek, Tardis obviously, Tron bike, Battle Cat and Godzilla and any of his friends.

-ZacWilliam, those are the X-overs that pop to mind. And I wish any of them would get comics like GB and BttF did.

 

[Sabrblade]

To make it easier, just pick five different Batmobile designs and make it a Combiner team.
