Third-party company Alien Attack Toys, via their Weibo account, have revealed images of the color prototype of their impressive APX-04 Sword of Justice (AOE/TLK Sword Of Judgement).
This is an impressive human-sized sword inspired by Optimus Prime’s Sword of Justice that we saw in the Age Of Extinction and The Last Knight films. The sword is 127 cm long and weighs 1 kilo. It can be hung on a wall or carried on your back (strap included) and it features LED lights in all the Cybertronian glyphs on the blade. A very nice piece for sure. According to the information shared on Weibo, it may be ready for pre-order by the end of May.
Update: Alien Attack Toys uploaded a video showing off the LED effect.

The child in me says "Yes!" but my wallet says "NO! NO! HELL NO!".

No, I made it.

Does that come with it?

I tried rubbing alcohol. Did nothing. Then I was advised to try a Mr Clean magic eraser. Did not take off the marks. Took off some of the surrounding paint though.
So I masked everything but the problem area and hit it with some silver spray paint. The front looks good enough. There are masking lines which irritate me.
I just have to live with it. And will take every opportunity I get to tell people what a$%holes Alien Attack are. F%&* them and their products.
Also, it wasn't until I watched Emgo's review that I realized I did not get instructions with mine.

I am not saying this is what you are experiencing, but mine came with very similar marks on it that came right off with a microfiber cloth. Not sure what the heck it was. Looked like the paint was scraped up, but the marks rubbed right off and the paint job looked flawless afterward. It was like some kind of residue that had dried.

But how will you know it is a toy for future?
jimmyh
Fixed.

Emgo's review:

the paint blemishes are souring my opinion of it.
No sounds that I know of.

USB powered sword. Hah! How do you like it now that the lights work? Are there any sounds too?
jimmyh
Ok. I got the lights working. I don't know how. I just randomly started pressing buttons and it turned on. Are there instructions anyway for this thing? Mine didn't include any.
Of interest; You don't need a battery. You can plug in a micro usb cable and it works with no battery.

Just got mine today. It looks nice for sure. But for $200, I kind of expected a little more. And I am not thrilled with the paint scuffing. And I can't get the lights to work. My uv flashlight uses the same 18650 battery that popped in, but they aren't turning on. I presume it's the little buttons in the medallion that activate them? I can't find any other buttons.

Received mine from TCP a little over a week ago. I had ordered it in spite of not really being a fan of the later Bay films. So glad I got it though. TCP shipped it super fast, and it was packaged really well for something so large. The sword itself is fantastic. Good weight, incredible paint, and the included wall mount makes for a great display piece. Finally, the lighting effects are Grade A – the damn thing looks like it is alive. I even got the required rechargeable battery on Amazon for a great price too. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.

Probably part of the first wheel, who transformed into nothing but did so with honor.

it was one of many naturally occurring gears, levers and pulleys that evolved into the transformers.

It's shown very clearly in the film that there is knight-related weaponry all over since it's the former ship of the knights of cybertron or whatever. The sword is already blue and red so it might even have already been Optimus' sword in the past. Definitely not just a random lever
Easterburn
Isn't Lockdown's ship a stolen and repurposed knight's ship? That's why captured Optimus said along the line of "You desecrated this place", but ngl that armored up Optimus is a cool scene.
Illiterate Scholar
It's funny that they put some much effort into this sword. When I saw it in the movie, I thought Prime just yanked out a random lever that was shaped like a sword in Lockdown's ship just so he's not fighting empty handed.
