Recently though, they moved him from MPs to RID 3 step toys.

WOW. They couldn't make a bigger step down if they tried.

He's not complaining though and still finds as much pride in his work as ever.

Attempt to steer topic back on track #1 ...

It's kinda growing on me but ... I don't feel this screams "The Last Knight" as it looks too "Age of Extinction" to me. I guess I'm use to seeing a different look with each movie and this one doesn't seem to be doing that.

Could that be a good thing, maybe? A sign of some sort of continuity or consistency?

Screw consistency, why start now?

It's a brave new world. With knights. Space Knights.

What have they done to Optimus Prime's face? It hardly even looks like Optimus Prime any more.

The sculpt or the paint? To me the sculpt looks perfectly fine, but he needs a considerable amount more silver paint. He strangely has the same paint layout as G1 Prime, what with being dominantly blue with a sliver mouth plate and crest on his head and blue eyes.

I like the sculpt so hopefully Takara Tomy gives us something better painted.

Definitely looks like it needs some better paint apps. Sculpt is okay-ish though. Kinda wondering what the other offerings will look like.

The sculpt and the paint. The longer these designs go on, the less recognizable even Optimus Prime has become.

WHY IS NO ONE TAKING PICTURES OF THE BACKPACK THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE

ugh

[Sabrblade]

All that nicely-sculpted torso detail completely awash in solid silver. Meanwhile, his shoulder collar armor, one of the things that should be silver, is instead colored blue.

It's kinda growing on me but ... I don't feel this screams "The Last Knight" as it looks too "Age of Extinction" to me. I guess I'm use to seeing a different look with each movie and this one doesn't seem to be doing that.

But Optimus had the same look across the first three movies, with the only real difference between his look in ROTF and DOTM being his new tummy in DOTM.

[ScottyP]

This looks bad and They should feel bad.

[CdogCdog4]

Looks just as bad as the leader, only thing it has going for itself is it has some paint apps. But its a test shot & that could change very quickly. Have a feeling this line is going to suck just as bad as AoE did.

Like I said, the toy seems to be built better than the Leader, and is more accurately proportioned. At least that's good. I am just hoping Takara comes out with an "Armor Knight" version of this guy with all that remolding and extra paint apps.

Why remolded it? It's been said that Prime doesn't have the upgraded arms anymore or other knight parts so I see no reason to remold however I completely agree takara is where this mold will shin. I waited for Takara last time and I ended up with Battle Command Optimus Prime AND AD31 remolded good version. (Plus the 2 hasbro leader molds ugh) I'll probably get this one until Takara releases theirs or stick with my non transforming version until takara releases theirs not sure yet

[CdogCdog4]

Well the chest looks completely wrong at least:

[img]

However, that's just in comparison with the one from the last movie. Maybe the CGI render for Prime in this movie is more like this new toy than we think?

Edit: I hope Takara's also paints his sword silver instead of that stupid orange.

It's just mistransformed.

[img]

Apparently the chest panels are meant to be swung up into place properly.

Emerje

Oh my gosh that looks way better. You are awesome Emerje!

I figured that out first over at tfw 2005 the instant the 2nd pic was released. I could see the slide marks no one was catching on so I explained it to everyone

[CdogCdog4]

Are they designing a new Soundwave? I don't recognize the body, Id love it if they were making a new voyager! I still like my Takara FoC one, but an accurately scaled classics version would be great! I do realize that may be just an example of how they do their process rather than an actual figure, though.

Also the Optimus mold looks good, but looks like a lot of the detail might get lost in the blander plastics. I want to see him in hand, but I might get him if he's as complex as he looks.

I guess there is not a multipost option. Eh? Anyways I watched that LONG Chinese talking video of 51 minutes and no thar wss just to show art had nothing to do with action figures. He was showing Tmall (the Chinese girl reporter for a TV show) how Eric does quick art on the computer with the stylus like light pen (or whatever it is) & it was actually really cool. I watched it the day it was shown when we didn't know much about the voyager

[CdogCdog4]

He looks pretty good. He also seems to be an EXTENSIVE remold of AOE Voyager Galvatron, based on the way the wheels on his legs are, as well as his shoulder armor, and even the backpack is reminiscent of Galvatron's.

as I told you over in TFW it's NOT a retool of Galvatron not even close omg bro u keep thinking thjs

[RAR]

Though I don't outright hate any of those Hasui toys on that list they all have some design problems. He especially seems to have a problem with hands for some reason.

As for 3-steps - I was kinda impresses by how 3-step drift transformed engineering wise it's a shame that they can't make toys that have that quick transformation and that are also more viable Action Figures too.

There is! Just add multiple quotes to your post.

Like so:

If you hit reply rather than quote you can scroll down to the topic preview where you can multi-quote then.

Yes this works very well and saves a lot of time too. just press any of the 'quote' buttons in the scrolling window under the composition window and they pop up in the main frame.

You may have to edit them a bit though to remove an original quote or a large block of pictures - but it's still a lot quicker that way.

Thanks guys im just testing this out now but I understood so I appreciate it. The order may be a little off though lol

Edit* on track I actually like this figure very much I would love alot more if hasbro would do an accurate optics paint deco with the circles instead of cartoon colors in the entire eye assembly

[Insurgent]

I like it. May need a new coat of paint, but the sculpt looks good. I wanted a voyager version of the aoe Prime but obviously didnt have one so I've been waiting for one to come out for this fiolm. Might be the only figure I get from this movie.

As an update to our previous story about Transformers: The Last Knight Optimus Prime, in his toy form, fellow Seibertronian Fc203 headed to Snapchat to grab some screenshots for the update from Hasbro - check the better quality of multiple angles below!

Something just doesn't look quite right, though I can't put my finger on what exactly. He kinda looks...cheap, especially compared to previous movie offerings. Not quite KO territory but close. Maybe it's the sloppy paint apps?

I don't think it's anything "sloppy" about the paint apps, but rather, it looks to me like it has so much sculpted detail but not enough paint apps to really bring it all out.

My guess is Hasbro put most of the toy's budget into the sculpted detail and had to fall back on a lower amount of paint apps as a result, leaving some parts either unpainted or awash in solidly-colored paint apps that obscure those particular sculpted details.

From the official Transformers Facebook page, we have another look at what is probably the final retail version of the previously seen The Last Knight Premier Edition Optimus Prime, as featured in an 'evolution' video of the character's toys through the Paramount live-action movies, from 2007 to now, via Age of Extinction, Dark of the Moon and Revenge of the Fallen. Check out the clip, and enjoy the screenshot provided!

There's some classics in there.

Did they intentionally use the worst toys for each of those years?
