Via 十条大楠 on Weibo, we have images of the colored prototype of the upcoming Toyworld: TW-FS01, based on The Last Knight WWI Bulldog.
Toyworld brings us a representation of a character with a brief moment on The Last Knight film, but who got attention of fans for his original alt mode. This old robot was one of the veterans who was under the care of Sir Edmund Burton. He transformed into a 1917 Mark IV tank “Bulldog” from World War I.
Bulldog is made in scale with popular Studio Series line (seems like a Voyager class). As we can see from the images this mold is full of details in both modes, with great finishing and painting. You have several interchangeable display options for the head: regular face with military hat or helmet, and two different battle masks.
There’s no specific information on price or release date, but be sure to check our Boards for more information when it’s available. You can now check the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

A couple more review videos from a Chinese reviewer:

I'd like to at least see Bulldog released and a painted picture of Bee before the end of the month.

Wasn't this supposed to come out last month? What's the holdup? I'm going to assume its because Biplane Starscream isn't ready yet. Sigh, this build a figure bullshit is the one thing I'm not fond of. That being said, I intend to collect the whole line and then sell him and the two WWII bots (only doing one toy per character due to limited shelf space), so I suppose it's not a bad deal for me. I'll essentially get one of the figures I actually want for free, since I can sell Starscream for the same amount as the others.

with them recently saying that their bb prime is getting its 1st prototype shown of the 30th, seems like they've made it a month of revealing their projects

Teaser from their Weibo page. Pictures of full figure will be released in 20-ish of April…

Those are early production samples sent to reviewers for early review. My understanding is that they didn't even come with package and instructions…

My question is, if Starscream will be made into a BAF, why isn't his left hand seen in the Bulldog review video?
Rewind
I didn’t “make up” anything. Every company that does a BAF does so because they feel they need to offer an incentive to sell the whole line. If they had faith that every figure in the line would sell well they wouldn’t be using a highly desireable character to entice people to buy every figure. Companies have been doing this for decades and there’s always at least one dud in each line.

You made up everything you wrote in that first sentence.
Rewind
What makes no sense?
IceConvoy
I really don’t get the part about making any possible redecos of Starscream exclusive to those who bought all the previous figures. No sense there at all.
That alt-mode does have me interested in Starscream, but I’m really not interested in buying the whole line just for that alt-mode. Especially if they keep climbing in price.
tonysandlin
This makes no sense.
Rewind
Basically they have very little faith in the line as a whole and feel the only way they can sell them successfully is with the Starscream incentive. I think I’ll just skip the whole thing and hope for a KO of Starscream.

From their Weibo post, someone asked if it would be sold as a separate figure. They said no, and even if it may be sold as a separate figure with color variation, it will only be sold to customers who bought the whole set.
My question is how they know if I bought the whole set, especially if I order online, maybe from various shops…

That is beautiful. I really hope they drop the ridiculous BAF idea. This thing deserves its own release and it’s own box covered in beautiful era-appropriate artwork.

Holy crap! What a piece of design and engineering beauty.
