Obviously this is a beautiful work of art. This is the kind of thing they should have focused on for the transformers movies. These are NOT kids movies. The characters are not relatable. The toys are warming the pegs in EVERY store I go to. Nobody wants these toys. I hope HASBRO releases the numbers for how much they lost on movie merchandise like the plush grimlocks, the one step nonsense and the ONE MILLION BUMBLEBEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

Damn that's nice. I don't have the space or cash for such things. Plus I like to take my figures off the shelf and pose them about without fear of expensive breakage so the Voyager action figure suffices plenty as my Galvatron.

It's "funny" that company of which figures cost thousands of dollars (not for average mortal collector or toy customer)can produce beautiful figures such as this one but Takara/Hasbro doesn't even try! At least they could produce more of the DMK line.

Honestly, the statue looks much better than the CGI in the movie. >:oP

I relate to them.

For some reason, I REALLY like AOE Galvatron's design. Like, inexplicably so. Don't know why, but I do. This'll probably be the only one of these I get. If I can find enough money, I'll get AOE Optimus, too.

This only serves to remind me exactly why I couldn't stand the Bayverse designs. I never liked any of their Megatrons, including Galvatron. The 'gay vampire' look just doesn't work, IMO.

I guess I'd agree that the robot could be cool - but those bayverse 'faces' look ridiculous to me. Noses, lips, teeth and tongues 'made' out of randomly criss-crossed wires and circuitry? Sorry, but my wilful suspension of disbelief can't carry me that far.

If they had covered this Galvatron's entire'face' with an opaque, shiny visor, THEN he'd look awesome.

Awesome statue, Galvatron's also one of my favorite AOE Transformer designs.

I agree, some faces look weird. But you really can't go with Beast Wars liquid metal faces. And they do need to have human faces, most of them. That's what Transformers' all about. Vehicle into human robot alien thing.

Some faces do work better, Prime's new face looks better than the first 3 movies. I still dislike Bee's cork mouth. Lockdown's face is awesomely creepy.

Prime 1 Studios, known for making statues and busts of the Transformers featured in the live-action films, released images of one of their upcoming releases: MMTFM-07 Optimus Prime (Knight Edition)! Based on one of the Age of Extinction promotional posters, this statue of Optimus Prime is breathtakingly detailed. Also included are swappable heads: one without the faceplate, and one with if you're feeling knightly. Additionally, whatever head is not being used can be mounted on a small bust pedestal for display. As all other releases, this hefty piece will cost you an arm and a leg, priced at a whopping $1599 USD!

More images can be seen here!

Now if I had a luxurious private basement theater where I can display this at a corner of its spacious 3000 square-foot expanse, along with my other movie paraphernalia...sure.

But as it is, even if I liked it enough to put down 1599 smackers for it, it'd just end up crowding up my home office and I'll occasionally stub my toe on it.

Courtesy of the Hobbybase Facebook page, we get a look at the Prime 1 Studio movieverse Optimus Prime and Megatron Premium Busts out of their fairly hefty box! The character models appear to be Revenge of the Fallen for the Decepticon leader, and Dark of the Moon for the Autobot one - check them out in the mirrored image below!

Wow, it takes a super-high end item like that for them to bother making a decent head sculpt of Megatron. :-(

And indeed to have so much confidence in their product that they chose to model a character who didn't survive his first outing.

It is a bit curious that I don't recall ever seeing fan/customer photos of these things yet they've made quite a few of them. Maybe the people who do buy these are too busy making money to take the time to snap and share pics on geeky internet fansites! :lol:

After the recent Prime 1 Studio Age of Extinction Optimus Prime glossy pictures, we also have a greyer update from Wonder Festival in Chiba, Japan, featuring the bounty hunter with a gun for a face: Lockdown. The images come from Weibo user 52Toys, and show off multiple angles of the big bad bot, including the canine companion Steeljaw.

Also on display were some prototypes of Optimus Prime and Galvatron busts. Check them all out mirrored below!

I am not a Bayformer fan by any stretch of the imagination but I at least understand why their aesthetics would take on an otherworldly appearance. (Even if they don't read well-like at all-for action sequences.)Maybe it's cuz he doesn't have any textures applied to him but man that is one sweet lookin' Lockdown.

Lockdown is one of the best designs in the movieverse. I love the unusual stuff like ROTF Demolishor, but Lockdown's humanoid design is really cool.

The newest piece by Prime 1 Studios to be announced in their Museum Masterline Series is Transformers Age of Extinction MMTFM-09 Galvatron. Galvatron continues the highly detailed tradition of previous Museum Masterline releases. This was announced on their Facebook page.

That is why, I have no FEAR!!!

Prime 1 Studio is proud to present MMTFM-09 Galvatron was a U.S. military model,developed by KSI.It was infected by Megatron's mind, so despite all the efforts of people to give it the appearance just like Optimus Prime, the drone continued to recreate Megatron.However humans have built a bot designed to be even more powerful than the fallen DECEPTICON leader. Now,the AUTOBOTS must defeat the mighty GALVATRON!"

PRODUCT DETAILS

- 30 Inch tall
- LED light up function on head.
- LED light up function on middle chest reactor.

Accessories include :
- One (1) Arm Particle Weapon
- One (1) Switchable palm (Right)

Eh, matter of perception. The same people who made this a bad film also vote vampires and zombies consistently the best, so it is simply their bias.

Prime 1 Studio teased on their Facefbook and Instagram accounts, images of their new Generation 1 line of statues. These statues are designed by Josh Nizzi and is known for his concept art and designs of transformers from the live action movies. And from the looks of these teasers it appears that those details really comes across on their Generation 1 line as well.

These are interesting G1/Bay-verse hybrids, and would have been awesome in the movies (maybe they're a hint at the next movie designs), but calling them "G1-inspired" would have been more accurate. If they were made into actual transformable figures, I might buy them.

As it is, they're a curious, yet unnecessary, set of oddities I don't really need, but as toys, they would be attractive.

Building on a reveal from a little while ago, we have a new teaser from Prime 1 Studio about their upcoming Generation 1 line of non-transformable figures. Check out the Optimus shoulder-arm-blaster image below, and compare to what we have seen before - enough to interest you?

Regardless of how this turns out, you've lost me at non-transformable. Transformers aren't really Transformers if they can't -wait for it- TRANSFORM. And really? ANOTHER Optimus Prime? Is the goal to have a version of Optimus Prime released by every model-making/sculpture-creating/limited-edition-statue-place on Earth? Am I nuts, or is this really getting old?

I understand what you mean, but what draws me away is the price of these statues.
The price is so unbelievably high for what you get out it.
If it was $600, than I might consider buying it.

$600 for a non-transforming Transformer? That's half a mortgage payment for something that doesn't actually do anything! Tell you what . . . you give me $600 and you can have the satisfaction of knowing you helped me plug some holes in my collection. :-D
