Japan's 2017 Wonderfest has way more from Prime 1 Studios than just that awesome statue of Beast Wars Megatron standing over a murdered Dinobot. There are also plenty of redecos of previously revealed statues, such as gold/bronze redecos of Movie Galvatron, "G1" Optimus Prime and Megatron. there is also a white variant of that same Prime statue which seems to emulate Ultra Magnus' inner robot.

Enjoy!

We have an update on the Prime 1 Studio series of highly detailed non transforming statues - namely, their Decepticon logician Shockwave replica, from the live-action Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Some new information is due soon, but for now, we have a suggestion of what the final product may look like. Check it out!

Emotionless, coldly logical, utterly ruthless... killing is all Shockwave lives for. - Optimus Prime.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon SHOCKWAVE will be available soon for preorder this month stay tuned!

We've got more images of the Prime1 Studio Dark of the Moon Shockwave, coming from the Prime1 Facebook!

Here's the official description of the massive, non-Transforming figure!

Emotionless, coldly logical, utterly ruthless… killing is all Shockwave lives for.” — Optimus Prime Prime 1 Studio is proud to present MMTFM-14: Shockwave from The Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Shockwave was left to watch Cybertron by Megatron long ago, arriving on Earth to hunt for the AllSpark shortly after Megatron. A peerless scientist with deadly efficiency and a cold devotion to logic, he is one of the very few who could rival Megatron. Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy the Autobots with his arm-mounted AstroMag Cannon. Most anticipated Decepticons Transformers Statue standing at 37 inches tall

Via their official Facebook page, Prime 1 Studio have released a teaser for an upcoming movieverse Optimus Prime, designed by live-action movie designer Josh Nizzi: NG-1 Superior Optimus Prime! Check out more information below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

"Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost."

In conjunction with the release of the new trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight, we are proud to reveal the teaser for Superior Optimus Prime, designed by the 'human Primus', Josh Nizzi.

The Superior Optimus Prime is the first in a new line of Transformers collectibles designed by Josh.

The New Generation is an amalgamation of both classic G1 and movie design giving you one of the coolest, most detailed and most unique Transformers Collectibles.

The NG Optimus Prime will look great displayed with Prime1's G1 and movie Optimus as it shows the different look for this iconic character.

Stay tuned for more updates and information.

Its called the alligned continuity

[Deadput]

Oh boy another G1 redegin without actually changing anything?

"snore"

Wake me when they make a more original design for something not an over-expensive non transforming statue.

Save your money folks no statue no matter the detail is worth the bankrupting prices they ask for.

[Sabrblade]

Show me where G1 Prime ever looked exactly like that.

Never said exactly.

It's still just a slight change to the G1 Prime recipe while still being the same.

It's still just another G1 Optimus which just looks boring.

That sure looks more like Movieverse Prime's face to me.

Sure the face is but the body without Jetfire parts is pretty much a movie G1 version just like their previous G1 movie statues.

You can stick Optimus Primal's face on a slightly changed G1 Prime body and it would still just be a different version of the G1 body.

Prime 1 Studio is at it again with their statues, this time in the form of Megatron Superior! This new Megatron is the counter to the Optimus Superior, and features some very elaborate details. The tease was made via the TFsource Facebook page and the teaser can be seen below along with 3 images of the already revealed Megatron!

[Kurona]

That is... certainly quite different. Not sure if it's what I'd call Megatron, but it's pretty awesome nonetheless!

[DeathReviews]

Bayverse-inspired, it seems. It loses points right there, at least from me....

In style perhaps, but not in directly inspired by the movie character. It just seems like a design that's gone through so many drafts and redesigns and over-designing that it ends up at a point where it really doesn't look like the original.

Still, it does look awesome, and I'm really digging that tank tread cape.

[Deadput]

Can we have more Transformers with Tread capes please?

Something a bit more original like thise should be what designers try to go for instead of generic designs like all the Autobots from RID.

[Seibertron]

Bayverse Megatron and G1 Megatron's illegitimate love child.

[griftimus prime]

wow

[Carnivius_Prime]

Reminds me a bit of how the tank treads drape from RotF Bludgeon's shoulders. I like it.

Yes, this.

Yes. Tread cape. Put kibble to good use.

And, while I do see and agree with the latter point, they don't exactly have the budget for that...

Honestly, they kinda do. Figures like Fracture and Bisk prove that RiD can be very creative and intuitive, they just kind of... skipped leg day on the Autobots.


Regardless, yes. Tank tread cape is easily the best element of this design. I'm really not sure on the rest - I have no idea where that head came from and I have no idea what part of this design says 'G1' - but there's at least a few very cool things here.

[william-james88]

I do find this better than the movie designs for Megatron in the first two films. I dont see why this wouldnt have worked in a film, same with that Optimus they have coming out.
