Once more from the Prime 1 Studio Instagram account we have a teaser of an upcoming project - and a new one but topical it is at that: Beast Wars statues! Starting with the big boss monkey himself, Optimus Primal, which you can see in the teaser image below. What do you think of more replicas homaging the Beast era?

These are statues right? Regardless I'm probably down.

We've seen the new title reveal for the next Paramount live-action Transformers movie - The Last Knight - and riding the wave of the announcement, Prime 1 Studio have let slip that they may be involved somehow, and tease 'exclusive content'. Have they already secured the license for replicas? Discuss away in the Energon Pub!

Hot on the heels of the Transformers 5 title being revealed as “The Last Knight” – the official Transformers Movie Instagram was launched with a quick movie showing Optimus Prime with some seriously colorful battle damage.

If that's meant to be a G1 Megatron, why does it look like he has wheels on his legs?

The purpose to be more like a new take on G1. They use similar looks, but newer styles, if that answers your question

... y'know... I'm expecting a ton of people to say this, and I don't mean to sound like some genwunner and say "This is how he should have looked in the movies"
... but goddammit, I wish this is how he looked in the movies. It's such a cool design; it adds realism to the base idea and concept while adding a lot of new and streamlined elements without deviating too far from it. You can look at it and easily see Optimus Prime but also feel something very new and different about it.

Reminds me of when Don Figueroa did his own take on a Movie-style design for G1 Optimus:

Too G1 for me. We got enough G1 Optimuses, I'd like something a little different. Was hoping for something more like the original concept art, a more even mix of Movie and G1.

I really dig the design. It is beautifully done

Okay I have a question. This design is awesome and all that, but who keeps buying these? They keep releasing them, and their over $1,000 usually right? Who is their market exactly?

Higher end collectors get their hands on these.

I have to weigh in on this.. I know I will be getting allot of push back, but I have to say it..

I am so sick of these super high quality Statues coming out. I mean if Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece lines have taught us anything, it is that you can have statue quality looks, and still have playability and pose ability all in one, without the need for a high priced "breakable" statue. I mean, Resin is not a suitable alternative to straight plastic, as Resin can crumble and deteriorate over time, much more so then a good quality plastic..

Now don't get me wrong, I love the look and the design, and I do agree partly with some that the Movie Transformers live action could have looked like this, but Then again, the Bayformers Optimus Prime has grown on me, along with the fact that Peter Cullen was the voice, and to me, if Peter puts his name and talent to it, then it's Optimus For me..

Anyhow, I would rather have this as a full formed, plastic and diecast action figure with LED.. then pay for a static, or even if it was a poseable statue..who needs a Statue when you have Masterpiece Transformers, or some really cool action figures of them like the Ex Gokin, or the Pat Lee inspired and Dream Wave looking Ori Toy Optimus Prime.. Examples below:




and this is Definitely a Dream Wave version of Optimus, which I will get because the materials and the style will go great as a display in front of my Dream Wave Comic collection..




I know, I know, the Revoltech is much more in line with the Pat Lee works..


but I really hope they make this guy at least the scale of MP-10.. smaller like the Gokin figures would suck..

However, what gives me hope for the Gokin Optimus is that we could be seeing a cartoon accurate Megs like this below coming.. and I will want them both for display with my Transformers DVD collection..




But as far as another "Statue" goes.. No.. I don't want that.. Boring.. and With Kids, or pets.. too much money for something that will just take up space and is easily broken..

I would question this one in particular... Sure it's kinda cool looking. Like the guy on the previous page said, it would be pretty awesome if this is what the Bay movies gave us for an updated Prime. Or even if this was a transforming figure, I could see major appeal in it. But as it is, a thousand dollar statue of a design that really has no place... Other than having more money and space than you know what to do with...why would someone buy this?

I really do not know. I cannot afford these nor really have the inclination to, but who knows. Maye the high cost is because it is built in small numbers for a select few
