A new third party company is coming to the market: Toy Lab. Via weibo user Chaos_龙飞 we have the render of their TL-01 Dark Knight (Masterpiece Scaled Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime).
This is a completely new and detailed mold which should be 28 cm tall in robot mode, ideal for the Masterpiece scale. The images reveal a very solid and compact truck mode which looks very promising. This mold is expected for release by the second quarter of 2020. One more alternative among several official, 3P, transformable and non-transformable Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime projects in the market.
Keep in mind that these are early renders and we are yet to see a proper prototype, There may be changes in the final product. Click on the bar to see all the images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

It's really not that big of a deal guys. I asked if anyone heard any news, maybe some rumbling that this project might come to fruition. People throwing temper tantrums over it is just silly. Or the one's calling people names. As I said. There is always a chance so doesn't hurt to ask. Plus. You ever think that if people start talking about it again, and showing there is still major interest in it. It might just push the makers to go "Hey there is money there lets make it". I have seen it happen before.
Best Regards.

Yeah all those revived projects have usually been announced in the threads. Bumping is annoying but not a huge deal sometimes people just don't know any better. I think it's even more annoying to insult whoever called you out on it and argue that you're in the right

That's true but in all of those cases, there's never been any news that people have sat on until someone posted asking "any news." When Soundwave came back, someone posted the news in the thread well before anybody else had the chance to ask if there was any news. The point is, in this community, we're not exactly known for keeping things to ourselves, so the question is pointless because if there were any news it would already have been posted in the thread.

Well I've seen Black apple Ironhide and TMT Bumblebee coming back to life so anything is still possible.

What makes you think there isn't? I've seen projects die for 5 or 6 years or more then come back. Fanstoys Soundwave ring a bell? And plenty of others that had NO news and then was like…. oh btw we are going to release this now. It happens. And the funny thing is. You could of been like… nope no new news. And that would of been the end of it. Now look.
Best Reagrds,

if there is news, there will be a post about it. your bumps do nothing but give people false hope about a dead project. what makes you think a thread with a message last sent on 2021 has any news at all?
