Ok here we have the 1st collaboration with lights and sound (batteries not included). Its freaking K.I.T.T and it tells you as much. It's a big car more in line with the Alternators I think. He cant fit in either SS86 Optimus or Earthrise trailers forget about it(it will fit in MPs trailer). I dont have many colabs just the universal monsters and jbalvintron so cant compare to Ghostbusters or Back to the Future. That being said I love this release. The star is car mode of course. Forget scale its a licensed Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and thats awesome! Robot mode works as Micheal/David with blue jeans face and glasses. I will be calling it Micheal in bot mode and K.I T.T. in car mode. I wonder if we will get a KARR probably not. Cool thing to note if you remove the shell carefully you can rebox it perfectly. Has enough pose ability in bot mode and of course the electronic phrases are so much fun. Another note when you press it then dont for a few minutes it turns off with the phrase "K.I.T T. signing off". All in all recommend to fans of Knight Rider and to Transformers fans if you like both it's a must have.

 

Nice little review! What are all the SFX?

 

A vintage keypad input sound
A engine start up
The light bar(or cylon eye) sound
A burn out sound
"Are you sure this is the right way" peel out sound" very well"
"Thank you sir"
"I am the voice of Knight industries 2000 micro processor K.I.T.T for easy reference Kitt if you prefer"
"Hold on this could be a bit bumpy"
"Kitt signing off"

Could be forgetting 1 or 2 but pretty sure thats most of them

 

Great review! Thank you for the detailed pics of the alt mode and the SFX lines!

I said it before, but for me, this is the TF of the year! I was blown away by the Gigawatt collab, even with already being impressed by Ectotron. Both of those alt modes were great especially given they were retools of existing figure.

However, with Agent Knight, and even Party Wallop, these recent collab figures have been getting extremely accurate and detailed alt modes! I'm not bothered by the lack of attention to bot scale on these collab figures since they aren't supposed to fit in any specific category. I'll gladly take something like this if it means the bot/alt modes are larger in scale.

Man, the 80's really had peak movie hero car designs. I'm still wavering between the DMC Time Machine or K.I.T.T. for which iconic car I like more. Blows my mind that now we have fully transformable toys of these vehicles!

 

How does Agent Knight compare in vehicle mode with other CHUG vehicles?

 

I honestly thought it WAS just ground effects until you pointed it out.   Shows how much attention I've been paying to this release.

 

I love it, can't wait for mine.

But is it really licensed? Does it say pontiac or firebird T/A anywhere on the package?

I'll prolly end up with 2 of these. The crossovers have been bangin'.

Nevermind..it sure as hell does.

 

That's my only gripe, but for the return of lights and sounds at this price point, I'll take it.

 

They need to use this mold as a basis for a new deluxe Datsun figures.

 

Got any Alternators or MP cars for comparison?

 

I love it- as a lifelong KR fan this was something I could have only wished for as a kid. Too bad its so big compared to the usual Generations scale, but who cares it will be mine. Damn shame it doesn't come with a O-ring style Michael Knight figure, that would be rad

 

I'm am all in for a 1:18 OSKO of this.

 

I want to love it but the bot mode seems rather "meh" in design sadly

 

Yeah. The bot mode looks generic and transformation very simple. But I'm getting him for the car mode alone.

 

I want him for the sheer sake of this being a part of my childhood, and always wishing the talking car could transform like a robot.

That electronics lump on the front is an unfortunate eyesore, but I think I can forgive it somewhat. It is definitely not as egregious as some of the electronic boxes from, say, the Energon era (I'm looking at you,"Ironhide"/Road buster)

 

Had no idea this existed until I saw this thread - preorder IN.

 

Yeah I'm not sure why they couldn't have put the button some place less conspicuous

 

Cuz the front portion of the car is the only part that doesn't transform. That needed a place for the battery etc. Can't put in middle cuz head and arms. Can't put in rear cuz legs split up.

 

Could have put it on the underside of the front instead of the top
