New Toy Images of Transformers DOTM Dual Model Kit Optimus Prime & Bumblebee

OMG, that Optimus Prime is terribly tempting.

Did Bumblebee beef up? I knew they added the abs but I'm pretty sure his upper arms are much more massive than ROTF.

This is DOTM Bumblebee not ROTF so he may have beefed up a little, we will know when the movie is released.

You know, these give us our first real look at the designs changes they did for DOTM. And Holy bloody Primus, I want them even more now.

Luckily HLJ has them for relatively cheap, compared to other places so getting them both is somewhat more realistic.

That. Optimus. Is. INCREDIBLE!!! I love it! I would look great displayed near my Gundam. Pieces like this are superb.

Have to get Prime......no matter the cost.

Superb! Now all I need is money, and a place to display them

Yeah, we can finally see some of the numerous changes to the characters. Bumblebee does have more armor on his shoulder's upper arms (and his old shoulder armor looks slightly differently shaped, which is what I think makes it look beefed up to that other poster), the obvious chest mods, and his forewheels have moved from his rear-shoulders to his rear-waist. ( )

Prime's changes seem to be much more subtle (smaller pieces moving less noticeably), granted I am not as acquainted with his old designs as some other characters. Basically though Prime's silhouette will remain the same, which cannot be said for Bee.

I'm also rather surprised at how uni-thick each panel piece appears to be. They don't have the depth (especially the changes in depth) I appreciate greatly on movieformers alt-mode plates. It makes them look more fragile here.
And I agree Bee's mask is ugly...I don't expect them to be able to pull off each little feathery piece, but it IS rough, and they didn't even take off the armor on his head which is supposed to be said mask, lol, continuity.

However, overall I agree that these are amazing (sorry all you non-transforming transformers folks), and I would buy them in a heartbeat if I ever saw them on this side of the world. Alas, it's likely not to be unless someone has them at Botcon.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if someone modded one of these to actually transform. Mmmm... :9

Now these are some Robot Replicas!!

Can someone please explain to me why the Amazing Optimus happens to be Like twice the Price of Bumblebee? I can't seem to figure it out if they are the same size. And why does it seem that Has/Tak does not want to give Prime his guns..... It angers me.

Hmm, I heard that they were either 1/35 scale, but then there was new information that said both were 9 1/2 inches tall. Do we have anything on size for them? Never mind, I researched the plans for them, and found the scale is 1/35, and that Prime and Bumblebee are two way different sizes. As seen here,



Last Question, Have we had any confirmation on whether these will come painted, molded requiring paint and/or decals, or unpainted?

Thanks, DM, and I foudn out another pic I have not seen before, right here, It shows that these come disassembled, but it appears that the decals and paint are applied, so you simply have to cut it all off the sprue and assemble them. Interesting, and that is a hell of a lot of parts.
