New third party company Lemon Tree is sure working fast to catch the attention of collectors. Following their first two projects LT-01 Lemon Prime (Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime) and LT-02 Neutronstar (Bumblebee Movie Starscream) they surprise us with images and renders of their next product: LT-03 Purple Potato (Transformers The Movie 1984 Decepticon Battleship).
Lemon Tree is bringing us what seems to be a non-transformable rendition of Galvatron’s battleship from the original G1 Transformers movie. The renders and gray prototype images reveal a very nice and detailed mold which we are sure will please your optics and nostalgia. The exact size of this ship is not so clear at the moment. According to a rough Google translation on Lemon Trees’ Weibo post, the height will be more than 22 cm/8 inches tall… so we just can just guess the length. To make things more complicated (or exciting), Lemon Tree comments on the Weibo thread indicate this ship would be Masterpiece scaled. Take this with a grain of salt until we get a proper confirmation.
Update: This is a transforming figure. It transforms into an original version of Shockwave. You can see the new color renders here.

I am tempted by the potato and started searching for other transformers ships. Is it more or is there a huge lack of the ark,nemesis and lost light ship in any form?
Toy, model kit etc….
Am I missing something?

My thoughts exactly

I'd love for them to take the Omega Superme / Ark design from animated and give it some G1 or IDW styling.

I wonder if Lemon Tree will adapt other classic ships in this way. In particular I'm wondering about the Ark, a transforming Ark would be awesome.
Requiem Prime
Has any of their stuff come out yet? I need to know their QC before I go nuts over their design work.

Well no, a single entry from Feb 2018 in a slang dictionary by some random person saying it means idiot / moron doesn't change the fact that it's a character from a kids film about dog astronauts, which came out in 2009.
Or the name of a potato technology company founded in 1958.
Or a type of surfboard design.
You spudnick

Not according to urban dictionary…

Spudnick is a cute astronaut dog from Disney's Space Buddies.

So is LemonTree a new company? Am a fan of what I'm seeing in this Shockwave though. (Only saw their listings on ShowZ…)
Venixion
Nope. This is all new to me.
I sincerely hope Pepper Thrust is hate plagued Wreck-gar.

Lemontree seems to be full of quirky people who like to name their products funny names, have you seen the listing at Showz? Pepper Thrust is pretty awesome, lol
Venixion
