To the completionists out there, how far will you go? We ask because Loot Crate just revealed one of the items inside an upcoming Transformers themed crate and it looks .... off.

This oddly proportioned 5 inch statue is an officially licensed product and will be exclusive to the crate on the month of July.

The box, which also includes GI Joe and other properties, goes live tomorrow 6/19/21 at 9PM Pacific and it costs $49.99. While it is in limited quantity, any unsold boxes will be destroyed, as we may assume from past instances.

We have many images of this figure that were sent to the TFW2005 website.

This will be up on the Loot Crate website.

"Pull my finger! PULL IT I say!!"

But... yeah. Not tempted by THIS thing. Gadzooks, that waist is narrow and dinky compared to the chestal area. That, combined with the enormous gorilla arms, 2-dimensional thighs, and those jester-like feet... what were they thinking? It's like Transformers Animated but... not GOOD

Looks like Pat Lee designed it.

Was it designed by Pat Lee and Rob Liefeld? Not even the likes of "Animated" stretched proportions to this extent.

You're taking that new diet of yours a little too far, OP...

I would like to know who designed this and who they designed it for.

I hear what you are all saying.

Truly.

But I kinda dig it...

This is so bad, that this won't end up in the bargain buckets, but rather the doggy chew-toy section, accompanied by a sachet of meat sauce to encourage the dog to go near it...

I am 100% certain they're referencing this AMAZING artwork of Prime done by Pat Lee. https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/2/ ... hatthe.jpg

Which is quite the deep cut if you ask me!

I was just going to say...Pat Lee art doesn't look so bad now does it

.

For the record though, I still think DW had the best Concepts for Transformers comics to date, it's just a shame the guy was a crook and ruined everything. There was a LOT of talent on that team.

It was bought by a bigger company for peanuts after practically going bankrupt

Amazing that they were rescued because they became overconfident in the market and they began making too much crates for too much things. Geeks couldn't keep up and just gave up.

Hopefully for those who still have their jobs, they are now under much better management. And as bizarre and ugly this Optimus is, at least it's something different.

The owner is Money Box LLC, which sounds like some kind of shady bankruptcy liquidator, but it's actually largely funded by NECA who uses it to sell exclusives.

This figure is definitely not going to endear Transformers fans into joining Loot Crate. No idea who they thought would buy this.
