I do like this but I really do wonder why they both putting a lot of effort into a character that lasted about 10 seconds on screen (yes i'm being facetious)

another reason why i hate character deaths in general

Probably because they get the designs well in advance of seeing the movies so they just pick characters to make based on how cool they look, only to find out their entire screen presence in the movie can be spliced together from TV spots. Prime1 is also making a statue of him so someone on the movie's marketing team did a great job of selling companies on Blitzwing as a good choice for a high end collectible.

Yeah true that is the way it works.

It's just such a shame the design wasn't used throughout the movie. :-(

Lest we forget that Onslaught statue from TLK. One of only 2 cons that had a statue lined up from TLK, and it was that guy. Not Nitro Zeus, not Barricade, Onslaught.

Well hey, at least Onslaught gets something that way. And he makes for an imposing statue if nothing else.

Pretty sure it was cancelled though, after how disappointing he was and the film was in general. All we ever saw I think were mockups but no statue itself, and definitely no pre-orders.

Did you like the redesign of Optimus Prime in Travis Knight's Bumblebee movie? Well we have some brand new images of 3As Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime non-transforming action figure! The images appeared on 4Evers Facebook page and show Prime next to 3As action figures of Bumblebee and Blitzwing (from the same movie). It also shows the range of hands included and his iconic rifle.

We have mirrored the images below for your convenience.

What do you think of this figure? Will you be adding it to your collections as a nice display piece? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

That is a thing of beauty and how prime should've looked from jump in the bay verse

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2019 3:40 pm**

It looks really good,but he looks more a like a semi articulated toy,than a statue.
Its too expensive for me right now,but I'm happy for those who can afford it.

That's cuz he is a fully-articulated figure; the article is mislabeled. 3A makes articulated figures, not statues.

Posted: **Sat Apr 13, 2019 11:56 pm**

Isn't this an action figure though and not a statue?

Also not a bash on the figure at all, but personally I prefer the look of the Studio Series one. Looks more uniform and how I remember him looking in the movie. This one looks a lot busier and the head looks a lot thinner than I remember. I assume this is more based on earlier concept art?

Someone actually did some side-by-side comparisons of it with the final movie model, and it's mostly pretty much spot-on, although the head does look thinner (wondering if that's just the angle/aperture warping it or not).

Seibertron is over at San Diego Comic-Con 2019's preview night, and we have something special for you Nemesis Prime and ThreeA fans out there, as you can read from the title, we have new images of the upcoming 3A Nemesis Prime figure, branded for the Bumblebee film. The expensive, hyper detailed toy looks to be a redeco of the 3A Optimus Prime also made for the Bumblebee film. We can see the red windows and optics, as well as the few teal highlights over the black and silver grey color scheme.

So, what are your thoughts on this new figure that was unveiled tonight? Is this a definite buy, or too rich for your blood, being a 3A item. Tell us in the Pub forums below!

Just in from our brave commandos currently holding up a foxhole on the showroom floor of #SDCC2019 are some absolutely exquisite reveals from 3A and utterly intriguing new concepts from Mondo! Both brands are doing the Transformers franchise proud this year with 3A showing off the hyper detailed Bumblebee movie Blitzwing in two different scales along with Earth mode Bumblebee in two different scales and the amazing new Bumblebee-verse Optimus Prime in the smaller scale only.

Mondo is showcasing their new Mondo Mecha figures modeled in the form of a Mecha Batman and Mecha Captain America respectively and are everything a robot loving comic book fan could hope for. These slick designs are like a fusion of classic McFarlane toys aesthetics with current Flame toys attitude. Release dates and prices are listed as yet to be determined. Mondo is also showing off their current sets of Marvel and Transformers pins shown below.

Enjoy the views and stay tuned to Seibertron for more reveals yet to come over the #SDCC2019!

Regarding those mondo mecha figures. They are cool indeed, but it is unusual to see non-transformers related stuff to be featured here. Does this hinting that they transform or something?

Posted: **Thu Jul 18, 2019 10:39 am**

You know what we didn't get a clear line on that and now that you mention it, fair point. Like I'm looking at it now tilted eyebrow and all and I'm like yeah that's cool but, does it belong here? Maybe ultimately not but enjoy the view just the same ;)^

The figure is being sold for $199.99 USD, and is meant to ship approximately on March 23rd, 2020. The listing has a detail product description, which can be read below, as well as stock photos, which you can check out by clicking the screenshot below.

Nemesis Prime DLX Scale Collectible Figure (Limited Edition) By 3A/Threezero

No. This is not the heroic Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. He just has one of those faces.

Joining the lineup of the 3A/Threezero DLX Scale Collectible Figure Series comes a Limited Edition figure of the nefarious Nemesis Prime. Don't let this evil doppelganger slip through your fingers, limited quantities available through HasbroPulse.

DLX Nemesis Prime figure does not convert, BUT it does stand at 11.2 inches tall and feature incredible sculpted detailing, 53 points of articulation, LED illuminated eyes, and die-cast metal parts. The DLX line focuses on precise design work at a smaller scale with high articulation and high detail. Each DLX figure utilizes a unique metal-frame which not only enhances the range of articulation, it greatly increases its weight and durability to provide an incredible in-hand feel. Together with Threezero’s detailed paint applications, attention to detail, and high-quality production each DLX figure is a work of art.

Includes: One Ion Blaster, Four Pairs of Interchangeable Hands: Fists & Relaxed & Spread & Weapon Holding, One Left Command Hand, One Action Stand with Base

FEATURES:
• Limited Edition of 1000 Worldwide
• Officially Licensed by Hasbro
• Approximately 11.2 inches Tall (28.45cm)

NOTE: Figure does not convert.

Kinda weird how nobody has talked about this awesome thing because they all scrambled to Siege (I'll admit, I'm one of them)

Looks really badass, and I kinda want a Selects BB Voyager Optimus Prime as well.

Thanks to PrimeVsPrime on YouTube we have a review of the new ThreeZero/Three A deluxe Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime fully poseable non-transforming action figure. This thing is truly a work of toy art and appears to capture every subtle detail and nuance to what many have considered one of, if not thee best movie Optimus Prime designs seen so far. Whether you're a huge fan of the design or not, whether you're going to be buying this piece or not, PrimeVsPrime gives an excellent run down of the articulation, the stand, the blaster, every bit and piece you like to see in a review of one of these higher end items. Enjoy the view and share your thoughts in the forum. As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Can’t wait to get this. I love their Bumblebee - scratches an itch Studio Series and MP were never really able to touch.

Posted: **Mon Dec 23, 2019 5:34 am**

Soundwave up for preorder in UK. Stands taller than Blitzscream too which is surprising. Something about the blockiness that detracts from the design rather than adding to it and the shoulder gun looks a bit off.

Thanks to the ThreeZero Twitter page, we have a tease for their next upcoming premium collectors figure: Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime!

The Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime design has caused quite a stir since it debuted in the Bumblebee film back in 2018, and we have had the pleasure of getting both a transforming Studio Series toy and a prior Deluxe ThreeZero figure of this design. This new take by ThreeZero is a larger and even more premium version of their original deluxe Optimus Prime, featuring a diecast metal frame, over 140 points of articulation, and it stands an impressive 19 inches tall (so on par with Combiner Wars Devastator in terms of height, and certainly it will be heavier).

While we only have the 1 teaser picture provided by ThreeZero, we will certainly see more images and get more information soon.

Check out the teaser below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
