Twitter user Capcomkai has shared images of some new non-transformable Bumblebee Movie model kits which we are sure will bring the attention of your optics.
There’s still not much information about them, but we can spot model kits and pictures of: Bumblebee, Blitzwing, Optimus Prime, and Shatter. According to the comments on Capcomkai’s Instagram these figures will be around 15 cm and 10 cm tall once assembled and they will be released by Trumpeter. This brand is known by their detailed military kits on the market.
There are no concrete information about price or release date, but you can check out the images attached to this news post. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

That repaint is far too popular to be such a low number. Hopefully some of those 500 will make it online.
Coincidently Lucky Cat just teased their Nemesis Prime repaint as well however.

The dry brushing and the gloss makes it really pop! It's a shame the headsculpt sucks because the rest of it is really nice.

Started working on my Optimus kit. Very nice so far. Probably fine to build right out of the box but I did do a little silver dry brushing and a little bit of black wash then gloss clear coated.

Does anyone have a comparison between the Prime kit and Luckycat Prime?
Retroheavy
Mine is a is one the way and state side. Hopefully will be here tomorrow. Looking forward to cracking into this one.

I got my SK-09 Prime kit yesterday from ShowZ and built it last night.
It's a nice enough kit, everything assembled well. Paint looks fine, though the painted red bits could use a second coat or a lighter base coat over the dark plastic IMO. Red is weird like that.
I just wish they'd go ahead and double the size. At least make it average HG size. He'd be really good at HG Unicorn size.

Any updates on these?

So he's just like the rotb DLX Optimus?
SPLIT LIP
Prime's head doesn't look accurate, and his proportions are definitely wrong. His arms are oversized and his torso looks too small, or at least too thin.
Though in classic ROTB Prime fashion, I actually think the proportional inaccuracies improve its looks. Except the head.
Angry fan
What are you on? They look as accurate as DLX figures
BlackHawkOmega
the amk uses a cold yellow; it's not the worst
SPLIT LIP
It’s subtle, but Optimus’ face is like a half millimetre too low in his helmet, and the post for the neck is too long. Just makes him look ever so slightly off. Though if we’re talking accuracy then Trumpeter has never really had that on lock, and these new ROTB kits don’t look any more accurate than the AMKs.
TBH I never had a problem with Bee’s colour. Looks fine to me.
TF Hot Rod
I think it’s the eye area but it looks fine to me.
Honestly a lot of these Bumblebee’s outside 3Z have the wrong shade of yellow, even the MPM did.
