Flame Toys have tweeted images of their next installment in their easy-to-build model kit line Furai Model, and we have a clear look at their Shattered Glass Optimus Prime.
The Furai Model line brings us snap-on model kits ideal for fans who are not familiarized with this kind of figures. This time, we have a very nice repaint of the Furai Model Optimus Prime Attack Mode in his evil version of the Shattered Glass universe.
The figure has got a really impressive range of movement (over 40 movable joints), great for pictures and display. The robot mode really shines in his new purple and gray deco and we are sure it will really please your optics. It’s expected for release on July, 2019.

I bought my first Flame Toys kit today, the IDW Prime from Barnes and Noble. I'm about half way done. I think I like it enough to buy more. I've got my eye on the Bumblebee kit next I think.

I know right? I was surprised when I heard it was TRIGGER designers making the models but then it was really cool find out Amemiya designed them. Makes me want a TRIGGER Transformers anime even more now with these designs.

Akira Amemiya is a notable figure in the anime world. He is a director for Studio TRIGGER. Responsible for works like Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill and recently SSSS Gridman. In fact the super stylised Optimus and Starscream really capture TRIGGER's wild and dynamic style of mecha design.

Beefcake Megatron FTW.

I also love how he’s got the little belly buttons in the centre of his chest. It’d look so great next to Prime.

Nan's Megatron design has hips that don't lie

His name is Ban!, and here’s his Megatron.

I know. I just thought I’d mention it. That’s why I said sketched and not properly designed.

The Megatron wasn't real. The designer of the Windblade one did Megatron because of complaints that Windblade was too sexy. So he did a sexy Megatron. IDW Megatron is getting a model.
Convoy
ooo is there a pic about?
Edit: also, who is the designer of the Windblade?
Digger
They don’t have a specific grouping but they’re, mostly, designed by Akira Amemiya. There was a Megatron sketched by the same guy who designed the Windblade but it might be a bit too different in style. I personally think it’s pretty great and would work well.

Is there a name for the series of really stylised ones? the hip thrusting ones I mean. (Prime, Starscream, Devastator) I'm feeling them a lot. I might wait to see if a relevant megs comes out before getting involved

oh right, I forgot to order Megatron, guess I need to do that

I wasn't paying attention to the release date in the first place, so it might as well be early, as far as I'm concerned.
Digger
Pfffff. Okay then.

My apologies. Although I saw it a mile away. I agree it’d be cool to have it big.

Oh what lol… I'm a sad panda now…
Digger
Lol I get you now.
It’s just a large scale model. It’s not actually being made that big.

In on the large G1 Optimus. They better make an equivalent G1 Megatron
