From a Transformers: The Last Knight-themed event at Malaysian shopping centre 1 Utama, we have a slew of Prime 1 Studio statue images! These extremely high-quality (and expensive) statues often feature interchangeable parts for varied display options, and depict a selection of movieverse 'bots, along with some original takes on classic characters. Check out the images embedded below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Ye they went with the faceplate over the mouth. There are also going to be giant 10-foot-tall Bee and Prime statues displayed, but they weren't set up yet when I went.

There also was a display featuring toys from all the 5 movies, where in the miserable TLK section, I believe I have spotted the Taiwan TRU Lucky Draw Optimus Prime and Bumblebee! :D

Is cool but how do they choose who gets a figure cos this sure makes it seem like on-screen time isn't a factor. :P

Though nor did it to Hasbro when releasing several toys of Berserker who only appears for a five seconds in the film and doesn't get to go with the other 'cons. :P

This makes me very sad Onslaught didn't get to do anything. Even for a digital remold, that design is awesome. I'm extra angry due to the promise that "Nothing can prepare you for Onslaught" when in reality he ended up pulling a Glonk- doing absolutely nothing and dying. (Anyone who gets that reference gets a cookie.) Makes me wonder if there's some behind the scenes drama we don't know about.

Hopefully the Bumblebee movie will be successful enough that the "Decepticonvicts" will get their own spin-off where they actually get some development. I want some more Nitro Zeus goddamnit!

With regards to the statue itself, it looks amazing but I don't have the budget to be buying a hyper-costly, xbox hueg immobile statue of a character who did absolutely bugger all. Now, if it were a smaller, less expensive "build it yourself" resin garage kit I might buy it, mainly because of my love of modelling.

Yeah, that was one of my main problems with the movie. They hyped the TLK Decepticons up until I even thought that at least one of the AOE Autobots was going to get killed by them. What happened actually was entirely opposite.:(
But then like you said, if all those "Punks" from TLK gets their own spin-off, it'll be FRIGGIN' awesome! :D

Coupled with the early wave character choices of the TLK toyline, this just goes to show how both Hasbro and Prime 1 Studio evidently had no idea who was and who wasn't going to prominently featured in the movie, with both apparently choosing their selection of character product based on guesswork more than anything.

We just posted a gallery of all the licensed Transformers products found at SDCC2017 but there was an extra special one we wanted to reveal all on his own: the first look at the finished Prime 1 Studio Beast Wars Megatron statue. We previously saw an uncoloured version at Wonderfest in Japan but now is the first time we can really soak in the beauty of this beast. We gave it the Seibertron treatment with multiple images highlighting the detail, such as his base with a murdered Dinobot. While scale is always tricky without comparisons, site owner Seibertron stresses that this statue is bigger than he would have believed saying it is HUGE. Hopefully that comes across in the detail and the show environment surrounding this statue from Prime 1 Studios, a subline from Sideshow. You can see more images of this magnificent beast by clicking on this link or any image below... yesss.

Yeah, if anyone's corpse had to be under Megatron's foot, even though Dinobot makes the most sense due to his longstanding relationship with Megatron in the show, Terrorsaur would have been a much less disturbing choice.

At first I was on board JUST for the tiny inclusion of Dinobot, but in retrospect I don't like it. They got his teeth all wrong.

The diminutive robot has huge bulbous headlights for eyes, extensive damage from rust erosion, and a peg leg to bring his whole look together. Sqweeks is a small-sized Autobot. He is the only friend of Izabella and transforms into a turquoise Vespa. He is a refugee Transformer who was severely damaged in the battle of Chicago, during the events of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. His resulting injuries have left him with calamity of ailments, none bigger than losing his ability to transform into his original form.

Prime 1 Studio Beast Wars Megatron had been released at SDCC 2017. We are just now seeing more images of this massive statue via facebook. Prime 1's facebook page gives us more details about the statue, letting us know that the eyes and his arm contain LED lights. Also we would like to mention that this statue stands a whopping 27 inches tall! If you want one of these dinosaur sized statues you are going to have to clear a space, that's for sure!

We head back to the Facebook page of Prime 1 Studios for a new look at their latest product in the Transformers movieverse line: MMTFM-15 Barricade, in his first incarnation from 2007 (not the bulkier The Last Knight one)! Check out the description and images below, head here for the full album, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

MMTFM-15: BARRICADE (TRANSFORMERS 2007) "ARE YOU USERNAME: LADIESMAN217?" Prime 1 Studio is proud to present MMTFM-15: Barricade from Transformers Film. Barricade is apparently a complicated robot. He believes that Starscream is vital in their search for Megatron and the AllSpark. In many ways, this makes him Starscream's closest ally in the naturally combative Decepticon ranks. Then again, it's been said that he likes to trick people into trusting him, just so he can see their reactions when they find out just how much of a bad idea it was. As such, he has disguised himself as an Earth police car in an attempt to fool the humans around him. Statue features: - Size approx. 30 inches tall [(H)64.5cm (W)50cm (D)43cm] - LED Light-up function on head - Limited quantity worldwide Retail Price: $1499 US Edition Size: 750 Prototype samples shown. Product details could be subjected to change without further notice.

The statue measures approximately 31 inches in height, boasts LED light-up eyes and right gun barrel as well as a light-up base, and the 'exclusive' version features two sets of arms so he can hold his guns pointing up or down by his sides.

The 'regular' version will sell for about $1349 and will have a run of 700 pieces produced, while the 'exclusive' is expected to cost $1399 and will be limited to only 350. Check out a few selected images below, see the full gallery here, and let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub forums!

- About Optimus Prime
Prime 1 Studio is proud to present MMTFM-19: Crosshairs from The Transformers: The Last Knight. Crosshairs is an Autobot member and supporting character in the 2014 movie, Transformers: Age of Extinction and its sequel Transformers: The Last Knight.

He is a paratrooper who’s a mouthful of snark with a bad attitude. He only cares about one such person: himself. Crosshairs choose to be independent so that he can avoid danger, even if his allies are in danger.
Statue features:
- Size approximately 31 inches [H:76.4cm W:64cm D:53cm]

Ewww....thats a face only a mother can love. Im still dying to see whos actually buying these damn $1500 statues. Is this not the same fandom that wants to buy POTP Optimus as a "stand in" for MP-10? Is this not the same fandom that complains about a $50 import tax? Is this not the same fandom that left Walmart shelves clogged with Bayverse toys 5 times already? Who the hell spends $1500 and a non-transforming statue? Especially one of a character who barely did anything in the movie?

Yes, because every fandom is a singular entity, and if any two people within that fandom hold different opinions then it's hypocrisy and needs to be called out! Image

Bear in mind that if we take the production numbers for say, the Crosshairs statue, then if 1050 people - 1050 people in the entire world - decide to buy it for the asking price, then all the stock will be sold and Prime 1 Studio will be totally satisfied. On the other hand, if 1050 people the world over buy a copy of every single movie-related item, or purchase an MP-10, or don't complain about import taxes on the internet, nobody's ever going to notice the slightest difference.

Not that I'd ever buy these in all my years either, but don't confuse general consensus for unanimous opinion. Some people do want to buy these, and if they decide they want to spend a few thousand dollars on non-transforming statues, that's their prerogative! :D

Well im genuinely curious exactly what type of Transformers fans buy $1500 statues. My first thought might be movie buffs who also have statues of Predator, Iron Man, Terminator, etc. But then I think those guys probally wouldnt buy characters outside of Optimus Prime, Megatron, or Bumblebee. But Crosshairs? No way ! Thats a character only a hardcore Transformers fan would buy. So where are the hardcore Transformers fans that snub MP to collect $1500 statues? Are you out there? (crickets chirping)

One thing I noticed about these statue threads on both here and TFW is that you never see anybody posting the usual comments such as "it will be mine" or "pre-ordered on sight" or the infamous "shut up and take my money" meme. Where are these uber-rich super fans of Transformers? They sure arent here or on TFW. What kind of hardcore fans buy $1500 statues but dont post on fan sites? Its mind boggling. I recall BBTS asking for a non refundable down payment to pre-order one of these things. Cant say that I blame them, but it leads me to believe these things are really made to order and the whole "limited run" is a lie to get you to believe the makers sell more than 15 or 20 of them. $1500 x 1000 = 1 and a half million. I dont believe they make that much off of one statue when Takara cant even get 3,000 people worldwide to pre-order Grand Maximus for $250.
