On this first night of San Diego Comic Con, we bring to you some of the first news to come out of the Con. 3A has partnered with Hasbro to create a whole new Generation 1 line of Transformers statues, and they are starting off with none other than our great leader, Optimus Prime!

Prime is a new take on the design, using his original cartoon design as a skeleton but adding some new design flares to make him eye catching and different. He also comes with many different parts to attach on, such as his wheels in case you like him with the visible wheels, blaster, trusty old Megatron slashing axe, Ion blaster, Matrix and more! Also included is some die cast construction and some LED lights.

This statue will be standing a proud 16 inches tall and already has the planned repaints into the White Prime AKA Ultra Magnus, and he also has a Nemesis Prime redeco in the works! All 3 of these statues will be available in the 3rd quarter of 2016 for pre-order. You can check out the whole article on 3A's Website, and we have mirrored below the sketch phase, gray model phase, and final product for you to check out!

These look pretty nice except the rustic paint apps make it not look very G1. I understand it's meant to give it some new style, but it takes away from the G1 aesthetic in my opinion.

Officially licensed statue creators 3A have released a set of photos on their Facebook page showing off their Generation 1 line Optimus Prime statue, with die-cast, articulation, changeable features, lights and sound and accessories. Check them out mirrored below, along with more info on the figure!

Hasbro and licensee 3A proudly present the first release in the epic Transformers Generation One (TFG1) Premium Scale Collectible Series: the heroic Leader of the Autobots, OPTIMUS PRIME! Taking direct inspiration from the 1980s toy and animated series character model, Ashley Wood and the development team at ThreeA have taken a remixed approach that blends their uniquely stylized aesthetics while retaining Optimus Prime’s original iconic look.

Optimus Prime Classic Edition stands approximately 16” (40.64cm) tall and bears a stylized brawler-esque physique. The Classic Edition features a hefty 30% die-cast body, heavily weathered metallic paint, LED illuminated detailing, and an incredible range of articulation – including opening Matrix Chamber. The tankards and wheel wells are removable for a more streamlined animation style appearance. TFG1 Optimus Prime figure comes complete with interchangeable Energon Axe and his iconic Blaster Rifle.

From some angles his chest looks like a crushed soda can. Dunno where they got the idea for that weirdly angled breast-section if their motivation was cartoon accuracy... I think the proportions on MP-10 are more aesthetically pleasing than this heap. & for the sake of completeness, I'll add the usual critique, namely: if it doesn't transform, it's not a Transformer.
Re: Hasbro 3A Transformers Generation 1 Line Optimus Prime Revealed (1854828)
Posted by Kyleor on January 26th, 2017 @ 8:54am CST
Doesn't articulation make it not a statue? The chest looks very War For/Fall of Cybertron style, not G1.

I really like the idea of non-transforming, highly show/comic/game accurate, highly detailed, properly accessorized, highly articulate/pose-able figures (for either robot or alt-mode, or both), but I don't see them taking off.

Optimus Prime is the awe-inspiring leader of the Autobots. Selfless, caring, and endlessly courageous, he seeks to protect all life – whether that be human or Cybertronian.

I've watched a couple of reviews on this now, and one thing keeps coming to mind... why would one buy this over MP-10?

One might think it comparing apples and oranges, but with that insanely high an asking price, you've really got to stand out as a G1 Prime, so MP-10 is what I'm going with. It doesn't transform, it doesn't seem particularly better articulated, it doesn't have any worthwhile gimmicks, it's certainly not cheaper, it doesn't even seem to scale better with anything, it goes for a stylisation over accuracy which is just off enough to not be interesting or different in any significant way... correct me if I'm wrong, but it just seems to hold no worthwhile advantages. Even if you wanted a Prime that's REALLY big, MP-01 seems to do that better too.

It looks cool, but compared to other figures and especially at that price I just don't understand why you'd buy this thing unless you're a huge Optimus collector :HEADHURTS:

They splashed onto the scene with Generation 1 redesign of Optimus Prime, but 3A have also been working on the movieverse, with Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction and The Last Knight - and now, from San Diego Comic Con 2017, we have a return to their G1 line with two inevitable repaints of the first mold: Ultra Magnus (White Optimus) and Nemesis Prime (black redeco)!

We mentioned these here, and you can see more images here, but check out initial images below from their own Instagram account, and wait for more close-ups as site owner Seibertron heads to their booth over the weekend.

While many of us collect, well, transformable Transformers, there are those who enjoy higher-end collectibles that are meant more for display than anything else, and which sacrifice the ability to transform in order to have greater articulation and poseability, as well as features that many Transformers figures don't have at any price point. For those who collect figures like that, and those who just appreciate an awesome looking figure, we have some news for you! Coming to us from 3A Collectibles is their version of Ultra Magnus, a fully-licensed version of the Autobot City Commander using the mold for their Optimus Prime figure, done up in the colors of the original Ultra Magnus' inner robot. This item is ThinkGeek's exclusive, and limited to just 500 pieces. Check out the pictures and desciption below, as well as the video showcasing just how big this figure is, and let us know what you think of the figure. Will it find a place in your collection?

MORE THAN JUST A SOLDIER

Magnus will never admit it, but he is a strong and dependable ally. He has garnered respect on both sides of the battlefield and is truly a force to be reckoned with all the while believing he is nothing but a simple soldier. That being said, he does recognize he's an above average fighter and is more than willing to throw himself at multiple enemies. He's the Autobot that can be blown up and keep on trucking. Literally. Because he's a truck.

Take home one of the Autobots' most courageous fighters, Ultra Magnus. He is fully poseable with almost 60 points of articulation and comes with LED illuminating features. He stands 16" tall and can be equipped with his trusty double-bladed axe or plasma cannon. As much of an asset as he is on the battlefield, we know he'll be appreciated on your bookshelf, as well.

You've said this before and it doesn't really mean anything. You know nothing about my income or how I spend my money and therefore can't really comment. As is i've been unemployed for years due to health reasons and I get by. I don't drink or go out much and so most of my limited money after groceries/bills tends to be spent on affordable figures mostly Transformers Studio Series. I coooould save up for one of these large figures but it would mean giving up many Studio Series purchases and then I'd need more of these 3A figures to go with this Megatron and so on. I don't get enough money to make collecting these things a practical thing. Point is these things ARE expensive and ideally suited to collectors who make a fair bit more money than I do.

With 70 points of articulation, I would certainly assume so. Unless you think those 70 points are all in the upper body for some reason.

In BeastProwl's defense, Megatron's legs are in the exact same position in every single photo except like one where they're cut off. I think there are some statues out there that don't move from the waist down but have some moving parts, so it's not totally unreasonable to think the same here

I'll grant you its possible, unlikely but possible. But with 70 points of articulation, you'd honestly think none of those made it to the legs? :???:

Oh for sure. I don't think that his legs don't move, but if someone just looked at the pictures without reading all the specifics (which I do more than I'd like to admit) I can see how they could come to tht conclusion if the legs are consistently in the same pose through all the photos.

Styled after his likeness in his upcoming movie, this non-transforming figure features a mix of die-cast and plastic pieces, is 8 inchs tall, has 55 points of articulation, and accessories including his battle mask.

I love Bee's new design, he's so cute ^w^ I hope the new movie is a soft reboot. From what I've been able to tell the only thing tying it to the other movies is Bee's design and Sector 7. Its not like other transformers series recycle lore and designs ;)
