At San Diego Comic-Con 2015, Comicave Studios revealed their first Transformers figures. They had two Transformers: Age of Extinction figures on display. These are 1/22 Scale Die Cast Metal Figures based on Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Read on to check them out.

Not too worried about Prime at this point. I've got Prime coming out my ears and I'm less fond of this design than the previous. I'll only pick him up if it becomes clear they're making other interesting characters who would be good with Prime.
BB I'm more likely to grab. None of the toys really match this well at all.

Yeah, I know it's articulated. I "misspoke". lol
And yeah, I thought Grimlock seemed a bit smaller in the actual film.
84 feet tall (as the size chart says) is crazy.
In any event, I'm really looking forward to what they're doing. These look to be top-notch quality and I imagine they'll get even better
since they said they're still working on them. Plus, they're actually metal, which is nifty.
Btw, I noticed in the FB comments that the guy said Bee is 11 inches-ish. So, I dunno.
Maybe the guy was just "guess-timating", but that would obviously make him a bit larger than he would actually be in 1/22 scale.
He looks pretty good in comparison to Prime, though. All we know is that they are describing both as being in 1/22 scale.
Hopefully, they stick to that.
P.S. I saw your earlier post where you said Comicave personally inspects and has the individual sign for quality control, and be held responsible.
That's AWESOME that they go to those lengths.

Actually bbts has the comicave shotgun ironman armor at around 7 inches for $154 so 125 actually may be close to the price when hot off the press. 8.7 is a bit bigger if he's right about scale but its closer to size then a 15 inch figure which will most likely be 260 or so starting for Prime.
It looks nice but I hope they refine and put a lot more details in primes chest armir

Its not a statue like I mentioned before articulated figures. And good spot on the scale but also they changed the size of grim lock mid production of the aoe movie so grim lock didn't look as big as the first trailer
Digidemon
Seems that their scaling is pretty spot-on, based on size charts from the film.
Their Prime statue being 15 inches is in keeping with his "actual size" of 28 feet and Bumblebee being 16 feet means he'll be around 8.7 inches.
He looks to scale properly in the pics. Looking pretty good!
And it seems that if they're doing these two, they could do others, so…here's hoping. Can't wait to see more of this.
P.S. Given the fact that this company obviously doesn't shy away from doing ginormous stuff (have you seen that Hulkbuster??),
could you imagine a proper AOE Grimlock? lol
He's supposed to be 84 feet (His robot mode, of course), so his "toy" would be about 3.8 feet tall.

Thanks for the guess work. I tried to figure out what 1/22 scale was but just couldn't. Its such an odd scale to choose. I'll definitively be getting Bumblebee.
Requiem Prime
I had never never noticed how extremely waspinator Bee looked.
harrismonkey
Actually $125 is better than i was expecting.
But we'll see. The scale is a big negative for me, especially since Prime is only slightly better than my DMK (who scales with a few other figures). If Galvatron were to be revealed, that would help his case a bit.
Presently if I get these at all, I'd probably only get bee because a screen accurate version of that pretty much doesn't exist. This is the only one I know of.
But we'll see.
harrismonkey
I don't know- but based off the picture of the two of them together and stated Prime height of 15", I'm assuming BB will be around 9-10".
Just guess work though.
OriginalFire
How big will Bumblebee be
MegaDolrailer
Think you're right. Seems like some blue is missing around the arms.
dCon
You can see the joints on them guys these are not statues transformer brothers, these are done by comicave who personally quality control checks em by hand, and the individual who.checks them signs his name so they hold responsibility for a damaged mis-production figure leaving less likely chance of having bad figures and problems. They just released a shotgun iron man armor all die cast in 1/6th scale that's for super pose-ability. These are NOT going to be cheap either. I'm guessing 125-225starting price off the production line.
Digidemon
These are looking killer. Keeping an eye on this very closely…
JDK
I just feel like if I was going to get one high-end non-transforming figure of a character from AOE it would be Galvatron. Then Lockdown, then KSI Boss. Bee and Prime both already have perfectly serviceable figures.
harrismonkey
At that size they aren't going to be that much smaller than A3. Just enough smaller not to look good with the A3 figures. I wouldn't count on them being significantly cheaper (at least Prime).
harrismonkey
Yet another size of figures that don't scale with anything else I have.
I've already got 3-4 different sizes of movie figures and each size has the best version of somebody. I'm intrigued by these guys (especially bumblebee- but I'm really hesitant to pick up yet another scale of figure incompatable with anything else I have. Especially when I'm already so overloaded on Prime and Bee toys. The only big plus here is that is by far the best rendition of new bb so far.
MindChamber
probably has to do with the fact he has no car parts whatsoever
Bobbatronus
What I love the most is they are in scale. I hope they have as much articulation as 3A.
Nightrain
I'm very interested in getting something from the movies that are super detailed and don't have to transform and aren't $400 each. This might be as close as I get.
