For those who love big diecast action figures? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In my own opinion, ThreeZero figures make more sense for characters that just cannot have a transforming toy that is 100% media accurate because magic don't exist. Like Bayverse bots or ultra-cartoon accurate ones.
In that regard, the WFC 3-0 figures are a bit baffling. It still make sense if you love the designs and want something truly "premium" instead of a "simple small plastic" toy.

Yup.
Same reasons why they keep making statues of Transformers who don't move at all.

If there was a "Most Pointless TF Product Ever" award, this sculpt of this product would be it.

I am excited for the movie ones. TLK Bee is due next month

However the problem I have with this series is that the cartoon characters these are based on are slavishly based on the existing Siege toys. Because of that, paint aside these high quality/high price figures don't look that much better than the $30-40 toys that they are ultimately based on.
ThreeZero really shines when taking characters that are hard to render, like the Movieverse characters, and making extremely detailed and articulated action figures out of them. No Hasbro toy has ever really captured the look of a movie character because they are too detailed and weren't designed with transformation in mind. However the ThreeZero toys look like those movie characters stepped off the screen.
By comparison these WFC figures just look like they busted out of their boxes on the shelves of Walmart.

Ouch...
Size and diecast aside, you're right.

Optimus appears here in the knight body style he picked up in Age of Extinction and held onto for The Last Knight. This body has been difficult for toys to replicate, so this is quite possibly the best looking figure this Prime design will ever get. Optimus got a single teaser image, showing him standing stoic with his sword. He looks to continue the trend of high levels of detail, paint work, and attention to the CAD file as has become common with the ThreeZero figures.
While we have no hard release date yet or a price, ThreeZero did indicate Prime is meant to come out this year, following the release of The Last Knight Bumblebee who is meant to see release this year as well.

You DO know that a 3P, arguably MP version of Armada Megatron has recently been released, right?

By principles, 3p doesn't count.
Speaking of official releases, I do wonder how Takara/Hasbro will handle a MPM AoE Optimus? Based on the recent MPM Beetimus, my hopes aren't high.

This figure is set to retail for $239.99, with a January 2023 release date. Link to respective sponsors preorders pages are included below. This guy will look great with the Bumblebee figure ThreeZero also made for The Last Knight, so if you like this Prime, take a look at that Bumblebee too.

I would really like to have that gun too. I liked that it actually had the flame details on it

I got my first of 3 ThreeZero guys that are en route. This is a really incredible piece. for one thing, this thing is frikkin HEAVY. The amount of metal in this build is amazing. the posing is also really awesome, the torso joints are really interesting, as are the multiple part shoulders.
Paint work is also top notch, the amount of weathering apps is really nice.
This is a great piece, and i cannot wait to get the other 2 coming right now.

Bee is definitely the most solid of the 3 figures I own right now. He is a comfortable size while also having some pretty heavy weight to him. The detailing is off the rails with how good it is. I also love all the hand and weapon options, plus an optional battle mask. Nothing pops off him or anything, and he can move where you want him to. I really like this, and it certainly will go good with my TLK Prime coming later.
As for Jetfire, this one is interesting. For one thing, he is positively MASSIVE. 14" tall in robot mode when he stands his most erect, which still means chicken legs not straight. I would say he has the presence of SS Devastator, which is certainly saying something. He does have some parts that have been compromised for combination purposes, mostly visible in the thighs and cockpit helmet, but he is still a gorgeous piece.
Main problem is, he is made of maybe 50-odd parts that all clip on to him, and several of them will pop off if you look at him funny. I have particular issue with his lower stomach parts and lower back parts. Now I would normally hate this, but in this case, it IS movie accurate, so I forgive it some solely for that crotchedy old man who is shedding parts constantly personality that i love about him.
I will combine him and Prime, but I am most likely going to save that for the weekend.

But the result was so damn cool. This is a MASTERPIECE. It is absolutely stunning. Simply, stunning.
This is what I have always dreamed of, this is my Haslab Unicron. It is gorgeous.
Also, interesting enough, despite Emgo having issues with pieces falling off, mine has actually been very secure with the parts. The only pieces that really pop are the 2 ab pieces that are magnets, but that is meant to happen, especially when you are grabbing onto the chest and there are multiple ab articulation points.
Also, some more pics of Bumblebee, just for fun, as well as a scale shot of Jetwing Prime next to some 6" scale Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series, plus SS Sideways

I really don't care that much? It was not included in any product shots, so I wasn't expecting it, and considering how much of him there is, I am not fussed over that

Sadly, mine had his left wrist joint snap during his first photo session, so I am now trying to get him repaired or get a replacement.
But at least enjoy a pic of him in his glory before I broke him.

ThreeZero has a good track record of Bumblebees so far, having done the Bee movie VW Bee as well as The Last Knight Bumblebee, both of which were fantastic.
This newest Bee is based on his appearance in Rise of the Beasts, and is modeled after his 1977 Camaro form. He is said to come with his battlemask and has light up eyes.
No word yet on a release date, but we will be watching for a full reveal in the coming months.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Eh, maybe they will make the concept, build the prototype, reveal it, make the production, and distribute it to the sellers before the Super7 one get released.
