Via Transform Element Weibo Account we can share for you our first color images of the next repaint of their impressive TE-01 Masterpiece Scaled Optimus Prime. This time we have the TE-01E in a great shattered glass colors.
Transform Element sure got the attention of Masterpiece collectors with their take on a cartoon-accurtate Optimus Prime mold. Now the mold is getting a Shattered Glass deco that includes the characteristic broken front windshield. A very interesting variant for collectors who love this mold. There’s also a TE-01B Nemesis Prime deco already available too.
According to the information shared via the Weibo post, this figure may be ready to ship by August 20. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

We all know you mistyped. Just messing.
I would keep TE-01 unless you want the cash to be sunk into another figure/character. I do think TE-01 bot mode is still very clean and in the mix compared to the likes of MP44 and MS02 despite lacking the posability they offer. Always the option to put TE-01 in alt mode.

You're using a KO of the 2nd version of Bee as your Prime, far out man!

I am selling my TE – Optimus Prime, complete and never transformed! bought the KO MP-44 and using that as my OP.
DM me please for TE

I don't have this figure, but it looks like for the head the screw broke? I'd just replace it. Maybe throw something a bit more robust in there. Honestly the foot doesn't look like a big deal. If it's not affecting stability in bot mode or transformation I'd let it ride.

I’m willing to let this guy go.
No box, but all accessories and a T_76 neck upgrade installed.
It’s the version …2? I think. Not V1, but not the V3 when they got rid of the indentation in his upper left arm for the insignia.
Shoot me a DM and we can work something out!

Yep my V1 is rocking the original head. It’s better than MP 44 season one head

Don't know about the head but one of my feet has that crack. It's held together fine so I never tried to fix it. As for how to fix it, you could try gluing it but it almost certainly won't hold and I don't think there's enough room there to add a reinforcing pin so the only option would be to get a replacement part.

Hi guys, new collector here and just got my te-01. tried transforming the guy but got these qc issues:
When I tried to transform the head (the step where you have to swivel the backpack and head) the swivel part popped off. found out by looking that they assembled the head the opposite way. I should've checked it first before rotating it but it fell off so easily.

The other qc issue is that one of the feet's sliders has a crack on it when I haven't done anything to it yet.

So, any thoughts on how to fix these issues? I tried to contact the person that sold this to me but I have no response yet.

If I could find a V1 or V2 with the clearer windows for sure I would leave the original head on him.

I like the antennas on the original head.
The toon head antenna are more bendy, made of a different plastic and not the same color.
They are however not swappable. The pegs are different sizes and don’t fit right.
Rewind
I do, too.

I have not had a canonical interest in Nemesis (or Shattered Glass) but Optimus looks sensational in Black!
Goldchains
Love this figure so much I bought the nemesis version.

Will probably get the SG version too.

In robot mode does his head look up nicely? I had the situation where I couldn't get everything in the right spot and a fabulous person mentioned here the head might have been installed backwards and yes he couldn't look up.

Also, rotate the head 180
rusticmeadows
I did that
Furb
Fold the ears forward and flip the top of his head in front of his face
