Independent group Ark Studio has revealed their latest projects on their Weibo account, which will be two add on kits for the recently released Generations Legends Optimus Prime and Nemesis Prime. The first add on kit for Optimus Prime will include his familiar trailer, which will open up to reveal the repair station/battle drone, and also include the Matrix of Leadership and assorted weapons which can attach to Roller.
Also included in the update is a Motormaster conversion kit for Nemesis Prime, which will include a new head and lower half (also included in the Optimus Prime kit) as well as weapon accessories.
No release date or preorder information yet, but we’ll keep you updated as always. For now, sound off with the discussion link below!

Deader than fried chicken?

ahh ok i get it now. I would assume though he is going to be cheaper than the three legends figures for 59.99 on RK as i just checked them.
Cool little trailer. i have to admit its something i am looking forward to next year as well as the rest of the Ordin team

I had assumed he was referring to Ark Studio's release of Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen. They are legends size, and look relatively cheaply designed. When BBTS first put them up for pre-order they listed them at $50 each, so $150 for 3 legends figures. It was soundly criticized at the time.

Hi Curium, what happened before with this 50 dollars? If its that detailed with changablr legs and a mini matrix I dont mind forking out 50 for it cause that trailer alone looks to be about an easy 40 while the acessories are 10 bucks added too. Just thinking of shipping.. added up. I might be spending 65-70 for it depending if it is 50 bucks start up price.
Curium
You may know, but just in case, $50 was not the correct price before, and reportedly that was BBTS' fault, not Ark Studio's.

Does anyone know how this project is going ?
kind of interested since i bought the Legends OP on ebay which i thought looked cool on IDW front

Don't quite like the Motormaster upgrade kit. The Prime one looks plain badass though. If it ain't $50.00 (again) I'd buy it.

Okay, if the Smokescreen Legend costs $50, how much is the trailer?
Prime Aspect
The trailer looks way too large. The top of the trailer should be roughly the same height as the top of the truck mode (to minimize air resistance) otherwise it would be seriously dangerous/difficult to drive at highway speeds. To me, it looks more like if you hooked up a pickup truck to a semi trailer.

I've been wanting a third party upgrade for years for Voyager Nemesis Prime giving him trailer armour to make him Motormaster. I think fictionwise, it would add to Motormaster's rivalry with Optimus were he revealed to be a Prime himself.
Not a fan of Legends though.

Cool.
Motormaster head though… um… no. Glad that they will tweak it.

too bad the leg replacement is required or I might've gotten this; I know the new legs are a little better but I like to keep my figure as is and just add on rather than have to alter it. But the trailer does look really nice.
The motormaster change looks quite terrible though but I'm sure somebody will love it

I'm all for Legends toys but not too fussed about this. Wish they would hurry up and release their eleventy billion other projects though.

I have a thing for Optimi w/trailers so will be watching.
LazyAza
I like the new legs on optimus but nothing about the black deco version says motormaster to me and the new weapons/head they've made for it are so oversized he looks like a goofy sd character.
Still looking forward to Arks mini figures however, just wish they'd release one already.
kibble
Agreed.
Also agree with this. That legends Prime is a neat little figure…for his price point and size. Make him a $50+ figure that this is likely to be and suddenly he's not so nifty…and you get back to the first quote.

Looks like this will make OP scale well with Gen. Bomber Megs.
Scaleface
I got ahold of the guys at Ark Studio and asked them if they planned to make the other Stunticons and/or a Menasor combiner, and they said not at this time.
tikgnat
Depending on the price… I might just get this.
The Matrix is a really nice touch (haha, geddit?) but Motormaster seems utterly redundant if he has no Stunticons to combine with. Now if the upgrade included ports which allow combination with other Legion cars…
Blitz.
I actually really like this… But if I were going to replace the legs I'd put time into a possible Powermaster design over the standard trailer. But I guess it could be next in line.
