Hours after getting a leaked list of Transformers: The Last Knight toys. Facebook user Victor Wong, has attended an unspecified event the Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair in which two Transformers: The Last Knight figures were revealed.
The first figure being Masterpiece Movie Series Bumblebee. Now, this does appear to be a Leader class figure, but no confirmation was given as of yet. This also seems to be a new “premium” movie line, with original movie characters such as Bumblebee getting brand new molds. It does make sense this year being the 10th anniversary of the Transformers (2007) movie. No release date was given, but we can assume it’ll be sometime around the Spring.
Along with Bumblebee, we also get a look at Leader Class Shadow Spark Optimus Prime. It is obvious that this is a repaint of the 2014 Transformers: Age of Extinction Leader Class Optimus Prime. With a name like “Shadow Spark”, this definitely seems to be the evil Optimus Prime that we see in the teaser trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight. On the packaging, the “premiere series” sticker is also present. This sticker was also seen in the Voyager Class Optimus Prime revealed by Hasbro a couple weeks back.
The packaging also gives us a new look at Bumblebee and Autobot Drift in all their CGI glory.
Check out the pictures below!

What he said.
Worldwide Leader Classes are Optimus, Megatron, and rumored Dragonstorm. Although it's probably impossible, I heard somewhere there is going to be a 4th Leader Class.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but what do we know about the availability of Shadow Sparks Optimus?
OriginalFire
There is a thread for it
Wei Jiang Bumblebee

May god. Lol that's true.

AFAIK one of the Takara designers actually stated something like he didn't like having to work the voice-box in(on Jetfire) because the toy had to be designed around it and as such, suffered due to it.

Here's how he stores his extra car kibble, from what I can see. It seems to insert into the back of his torso. It's pretty freakin awesome that we're finally getting a transforming Bee mold with minimal, if any, extra kibble.
The colors are coordinated. Hope it helps a bit.

Looking at this scale chart, it looks like RotF Optimus's upper body will scale well with mpm3 Bee. I wouldn't mind a retool of RotF Optimus with a smaller backpack and longer legs
Seth Sunthay
As i know, nope.
John TheDestroyer
There is a Wei Jiang Bee coming??? Where'd you hear that??

I'd say Jetfire suffered more due to the all-in-one Transformation, rather than the sound box.
Shin Densetsu
I agree, for ROTF leader Jetfire and Prime suffered from the voicebox being mandatorily included, with Prime suffering much less(the fact that it could combine was a very well-hidden secret initially).
ROTF Optimus raised the bar for leader figures but it has been almost a decade since it was designed and there's definitely room for improvement. I hope the upcoming MP movie Optimus lives up to its name.
As far as this Deep space one man war Optimus, I think the latest shots have the flash turned on. In dimmer lighting it might look a lot better(like at the show overseas where it was revealed).
Seth Sunthay
I actually think that, they need to make a perfect representation for optimus, the profile hasn't done well (and one of the reasons are the electronics). And no using the electronics don't means a great difference in the price, i mean, yeah, hearing "I'M OPTIMUS PRIME" was great back in days, and comparing to a figure that possibly won't have but it's the twice of the price, you can justify them.
It's a possibility that it's actually bigger than optimus rotf if they going to an accurate scale.
Prime135
You'll get no argument from me there.
Seth Sunthay
Actually no-electronics it's great idea, the original leader prime (rotf) hasn't a skinny profile because of that.

Check the original post, I was referring to a hypothetical mp movie 1 prime. Which would have similar engineering to RotF leader prime. There are only so many ways to get from that truck to that bot mode after all.
DarkEyes
Similar engineering…seriously?
harrismonkey
Quite possibly so big as to necessitate not being in the same scale.
Seth Sunthay
Thx for the pic, looks really like a carbot size, imagine the size of a blackout or even better, A GRINDOR MP.
