You can ignore Fenrir, most do, he just spouts this to see if anyone takes the bait.

Because what he says is nonsense anyway, its not just G1 stuff out there. There are statues out there for G1, Live action films, a cross of the two, and Beast Wars.

From the official Facebook page for Imaginarium Art, the licensed makers of Transformers statues with a redesigned take on the Generation 1 aesthetics, we have a small handful of updates. First up, a simple art teaser for an upcoming project, featuring the yellow scout Bumblebee, reusing the art seen on the Cyber Battalion toy packaging.



Next is the final colour version for the Jazz figure, updating the previous story about the statue we reported on here.



And finally, we have the first physical proof of the next project they're working on: a statue of purple leader of the Decepticons, Galvatron. Check it out below!

looks like the same design as titans return Galvatron

What the heck did they do to his wings? Talk about a pointless redesign, it looks terrible.

Remember about a month ago there was a teaser image for a new Imaginarium Art statue of Wheeljack? Well, today we have news that he has been fully revealed for us to see!

Thanks to a Facebook post from Imaginarium, we have a new image of the Autobot scientist in his new style, looking very nice and very cool. The statue is another installation of their re-imaginings of G1 figures and bodies with more Movie-verse levels of detailing, though Wheeljack does seem to be a bit less detailed than his contemporaries.

But what is really cool and sort of funny is how Wheeljack is posed, leaning down on 1 knee over what looks like an invention of his, aiming his smaller blaster, seemingly inspired by his original blaster, into the sky, while holding a big ole gatling gun in his right hand. There are said to be additional accessories he can hold as well, though they have not been revealed yet.

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

Thanks to a tweet from site sponsor BigBadToyStore, we have a new image of the upcoming Imaginarium Art Transformers statues!

This new image encompasses several statues that have so far made it into the grey model phase of production. For those wondering, we have not seen any grey models of Galvatron, Bumblebee or the Quintessons, merely a single rough prototype for Galvatron and the other 2 hinted at. These figures are all Imaginarium's own designs, taking the bodies of the G1 characters and updating them with some movie-esque levels of details.

In the image, from left to right, we have: Ironhide, Optimus Prime, Jazz, Devastator, a trio of Seekers that is most assuredly Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp, and the newly revealed Wheeljack, giving us a look at this back and showing us that he needs a giant gatling gun to fight Devastator, of course. Rodimus Prime and Nemesis Prime, both of whom have full color models and pre-orders live, are not pictured.

Check out the new image below, and let us know what you think of it in the comments section below!

Well, that's the point of statues:
Be there, look good, and shaddap. ¯\_ツ_/¯

Isn’t that what most of us do now except with toys buy them transform them few times put them self collect dust if you space for it and then put them in bin for storage

My MP-36 Megatron was NEVER transformed once. I just don't have the courage. First Transformers ever that I do this. Still, Megs look good... as an articulated statue!

I usually play around with my figures, even MP figures. If its something that will sit there and collect dust and never be played with, i sell it cause it aint worth owning if i won't fiddle around with it.
