New third party company Lemon Tree has uploaded, via their Weibo account, images of the color renders of their next project: LT-03 Purple Potato (Transformers The Movie 1986 Decepticon Battleship/Shockwave).
While the name sounds kind of strange, Lemon Tree surprised us with an interesting and original idea. This is a movie accurate rendition of Galvatron’s battleship from the original G1 Transformers movie that transforms into Shockwave. The first renders and prototype images didn’t give a hint of the battleship to be transformable, but now we can see a very original Shockwave design as the robot mode. We can spot some battleship kibble by the shoulders and two hands (no laser cannon arm), but keep in mind that these are early renders and more changes may be done in the final product. According to the information on the Weibo post, this figure should be ready by the second quarter of 2020.

This looks really good!
Hope they do one of the other movie ships next! Or the Ark.

Is there any reason why LT-03 came out before LT-02 BB Starscream? Really hope LT-02 wasnt scrapped

Good to see you @rubadubspawn!
Don't be a complete stranger.
Anyway… I HOPE I made the right decision here. I have a feeling this might be one of those "TF regrets".
Got my PAY BALANCE notice from ShowZ… and I backed out.
This figure REALLY does look cool. I LOVE it.
But with Cloud9's, I just don't need another MP Shockwave.
And while I had 100% intent of just keeping this dude in ALT Mode, he's too big (and more than I want to spend) for what I want in my collection.
Here's hoping LemonTree (or possibly Magic Square) give us this Decepticon (Unicron) ship in a Legend's scale.
Good luck to LemonTree… I admire what they are doing!!!

Looks very cool. Kind of on the fence as to what I need another Shockwave in bot mode and I don't have any of my figures in alt mode, but given this is the first of the Nemesis ships (I think), I'm gonna pull the trigger.
Anybody else wondering why they didn't include a Translucent Lazer arm as well? Seems an odd choice to make it dark purple. Still looks OK but not used to what I've come accustomed to for Shockwave figures.
Thanks for all the videos @daimchoc
I haven't been as active as I used to be. So many of the threads these days are just ppl bitching with each other. Lol. Not sure if it was always this bad or if it's something new, but I kinda feel only 3/10 posts are actually about the figure these days.

That vid was great advertising. Do wish the exposed thigh spots could be purple though but that would make bot mod look weird

Damn whoever posted the vid. That transformation is impressive. Preordering…
Norita man

Abort every movie stuff and do the ark, lost light and nemesis next!!
