Third party company Banana Force have uploaded via their Facebook account images of the color prototype of their next action figure: MPL-04 Great Basstor (G1 Optimus Prime).
This is the latest installment in Banana Force high detailed non-transforming action figures made of ABS and die-cast. Great Basstor is a modern and stylized rendition of G1 Optimus Prime. While still recognizable as the heroic Autobot leader, it features some new design elements like two small wings on his back. The figure also features and opening chest with Matrix, a rifle, a battle axe and LED lights.

Forgot this existed.

Apparently there is a price drop.
RMB 530 = approx USD 75. Comparable to the asking price now in South-East Asia.

They need to sell out to a bigger company and stop recycling. Need that Magnus to make Omega Prime.
That doesn't look like Omega Prime or MPL-03 Dai Atlas to me.. damn.

I'd be flattered by being quoted twice if there weren't so many spelling errors in there, lol.
Looks like a miss on this one, hopefully Dai Atlas brings the funk.

Full written review and gallery up: Link in my signature.
The article goes in depth but overall I gave it a 6.5/10. It just doesn't hit me like Red Sharpshooter did and overall comes off like a release that truly has no purpose and detracts from the direction that the line was originally advertised as going in.
Here are some pics from the gallery portion:

Damn. Almost double the price of the first one, and they can't even get a good shoulder butterfly joint figured out?? For almost $200, gotta have that nowadays. But that is still a fantastic design, just need a little more OOMPH for that kinda loot.

Apparently this should be arriving any day now so if anyone has any particular requests in terms of poses, comparisons, etc etc please shoot me a message.

SG, Toxitron, or do what GCreations did with Darkblade and just do Tarn colors. I think any of those would do better than the (likely) inevitable Nemesis scheme.

For this body type I rather want it in Shattered Glass colors.

Banana Force…..for the love of Alpha Trion paint those eyes metallic. The LED feature will still work. Come on now its almost 2022 pay attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great, but honestly we have way too many Optimus Prime in Red/Blue, especially in G1 style.
I wish it was some other characters, like Jazz, Shockwave, Galvatron etc, etc.
I'm sure if it's Banana Force making another character it will attract more attentions than just two pages interests like right now.

Looks good! Their take on Fire Convoy is pretty awesome and a staple in my collection.
