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.

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.
Agent 53
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
