Mondo's site didn't do this work the justice it deserved, this thing is incredible in hand. @Oliver Barrett
SCENARIO
Not a fan of Mondo but would like to see more official TF prints/posters in the future. I don’t own anything in particular and it just seems like a rarity to see official TF stuff out there, especially the movie. I mean low tier movies get better treatment. maybe hasbro is to blame, maybe this isn’t an avenue they thought of. This one in particular was really nice but wasn’t something I would want to display as a representation from the movie. I love prime but spread the love to other characters too, TF has such a rich history to always focus on the same few constantly. For something focusing on the movie, incorporating more themes/scenes/characters would have gained my interest.

Welcome! I’m a big fan.

I was lucky enough to snag one, great work!
Was so hard to choose between both, I really loved the red smoke on the limited but ultimately went with the regular, since its slightly less morbid! It's weird for me as a person who for years skipped the death of optimus track on the soundtrack to have bought 2 things commemorating his death this year (the other being "alternate universe" earthrise prime)

Welcome aboard!

As a I long time lurker of this place, it's very cool to see something that I made on the newsfeed. Thanks for the support.

If you haven't yet, join Mondo Trader Group on FB. Lots of good people and trades. Also, the artists post often too.

I have shopped Mondo prints for at least 10 years and have been lucky to purchase many of the prints I wanted. But its always been a bot crapshoot. Nothing will change; that is there business model. High quality prints, very popular and iconic images done by the most popular artists and very limited production.

Someone used Transform Element’s Optimus as a model.
Which is fine. He is the best 3D model I can think of.

This is an issue that has plagued mondo ever since their Olly moss Star Wars prints were being flipped for thousands on the aftermarket. Scalpers seem to think everything they release is going to turn to gold. They really don’t seem to care and can take walk off a bridge as far as I’m concerned.
some one will buy it, scan it and sell a digital print for 10.00 down the road. As a graphic designer I would normally be against that but if that company doesn’t want to address the issue then they are kinda asking for it.
Slingshot
Not really, when Optimus Prime is the most overrated character in the franchise and they should be highlighting characters who were crucial to the film itself.

I was on Mondo's site at 10:59 sharp at 11am I refreshed and it was sold out. Companies need to seriously get a handle on the bot (no pun intended) problem.

Ummm, sold out in 8 sec? and now on ebay… well that was a waste of time. (8 seconds of wasted time to be exact)
I was logged had in cart and …. gone? Are there no quantity limits? Why even promote this?

I did express checkout and it was sold out before I could finalize the sale. I went on Ebay and already several are listed for sale.

Harder to acquire than a ps5. Both prints sold out before I could punch in card info.
Nova Maximus
I guess we know which one between TE and MP-44 is better.
Lonewolf
Wow, didn't see that one coming. The art is simply superb though.

Ah, so I'm not the only one to notice he looks a lot like TE-01 ; )
