It sure took some time after our first reveal of the new Bumblebee Movie Model Kits By Trumpeter and now we finally have some new images of their Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Shatter, Blitzwing and Soundwave Prototypes.
The images surfaced via Capcomkai on Instagram and we have a closer look at these model kits revealing that they will be articulated and with a nice amount of detail. According to our first report these figures will be around 15 cm and 10 cm tall once assembled. Trumpeter is known by their detailed military kits on the market and this is their first take on the Transformers franchise.
It is still unknown when they will be released, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Not a huge bbm guy so only thing i got and liked was tlk bee. Was excited for hotrod and optimus but…
VVa
I was so hyped for their stuff at first, but at their pace it's hard to care. It just seems random whenever they release stuff.
SPLIT LIP
I still can’t believe how long it’s taken Trumpeter to release these things.
And that big Bumblebee was shown off years ago.
VVa
They already take damn long enough releasing 3-5 inch figures.
Zoo
Id buy that so fast
The Factory
Honestly, they should be investing their time getting the bigger version of bumblebee released instead.

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.
BlackHawkOmega
oh fuck, really? I hope folks who want it can get it
Novaburnhilde
Man, that looks slick.
Black Convoy
Mee too, but it will kind of hard to find. Only 500 units sold at the China International Model Expo (HEC) event.

BlackHawkOmega

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.
