Threezero have recently shared a video via Chinese platform Bilibili announcing several of their upcoming projects and we have several interesting updates for the Transformers brand.
We have several official announcements for their different action figure lines. While most of them had no concept art or prototype images yet, we are sure collectors will be interested in the next installments of each collection and universe:
DLX Series:
- Bumblebee Movie Arcee
- Revenge Of The Fallen Megatron
- Dark Of The Moon Shockwave
- Age Of Extinction Lockdown
- Characters from Transformers: Rise of The Beasts (no images shown)
MDLX Series:
- G1 Megatron (teaser image)
- G1 Starscream (no image shown)
- G1 Rodimus (teaser image)
Premium Scale:
- Various characters from Transformers: Rise of The Beasts (no images shown)
Watch the video here (Transformers products shown in the first minutes of the presentation) or a screencaps gallery after the break as well as an important shipping update for other previous Threezero Transformers figures. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
Shipping Update:
– MDLX G1 Optimus Prime will ship in April.
– DLX Jetfire will be shipped in batches in May. The combination feature with Optimus Prime involves disassembly and assembly dozens of parts, which need to be polished with the instruction manual and video tutorial.
– DLX TLK Bumblebee is tentatively scheduled to ship in early June
– Premium Series Optimus Prime is about to be shipped and the official website was tentatively scheduled for May.
– The DLX TLK Prime is tentatively scheduled to be shipped in the fourth quarter of this year.

What really gets me is that Blitzwing has gotten so much love (yes he is a great design) when he's barely in the movie, where Shatter is one of the 3 key characters (and has a design at least as good) but has been overlooked. Not to mention Soundwave and Shockwave.
It's funny, I'm also apathetic about Dropkick. If they made him I'm pretty sure I'd get him, but somehow i just don't care very much.
Come to think of it, 3zero are doing Arcee first (is that because she's female or a legacy design- no idea). Granted the only designs Arcee has ever had I've much liked were Prime and ROTF. I've never been nuts about the classic design they were clearly pulling from.
Although I guess she's in the new movie as well, so maybe it's that vs. the BB version. Don't recall if they said.
RVDA
Absolutely this. I can take or leave Dropkick, but Shatter is a must and it's criminal that nobody has done her. Not even a third party doing a ThreeZero style figure.

I just watched fwoosh review of MLDX Optimus, looks as awesome as Bee. I really hope we get at least one of the MLDX announced this year. The release order I'm hoping for is Megatron, Starscream then Hot Rod. I'd love to see the release schedule speed up, but who knows if that's a reality.
Sweet collection, that dotm Optimus is a grail of mine. By the time I got into 3a/3zero it was long gone.
PlasticResinHeroes
Me, ever since ThreeZero's Arcee announcement last year. Way long overdue.
Waiting to add Bingotoys' Ironhide to my Knightverse collection as well.

I know I'll 100% be getting Lockdown but im a bit on the fence for Shockwave. On one-hand he was another wasted bot in the sea of wasted bots that is the Bayverse but on the other hand he is arguably the coolest looking incarnation of Shockwave in my opinion
Angry fan
Imo Arcee is basically as cool as Sideswipe. They both have gimmicks that come from their vehicles, which is well using the wheels on robot mode. I also wouldn't like moto Arcee to mass shift and become an enormous humanoid robot like in tfp, it'd be a pain in the ass when scaling figures, and well, an agile small robot is better than a humanoid small robot (I don't think she'd be so fast if she was humanoid. And besides, I love when the robots aren't humanoid, this is one of the reasons tf1 Decepticons designs were so appealing to me, mainly Starscream)
harrismonkey
Yes. I'm definitely frustrated with how little love Shatter has gotten from just about anywhere. I think she's one of the very best movie cons we ever got. TW may have one coming, but we got very little official besides those 2 adequate SS figures. I'd be happy(ish just to get that OSKO's at MPM scale), but I would absolutely LOVE a really nice Shatter.

A ROTF Mixmaster would be cool.
TF Hot Rod
Waist up I don't mind it for the most part, it's the lower part that gets to be my problem.
I'm sure the face will be fixed either the whole head will be new or modified since unlike the Cybertron scene, Arcee will not be a last-minute additon
zark225
Yeah, I really hope they fix this face on ROTB. Personally, this is the worst face design in any of the live-action films, QUE and the AOE/TLK human-like faces that get bitched about have nothing on this.
Thats fair! Granted I don't see how at the very least the ROTF Arcee face isn't better, but her design as a whole certainly isn't for everyone.
I'm glad to see more people support this design! Always thought it was way overhated.
Primus Omega
Completely agree, I prefer bays version as well.
TF Hot Rod
I 100% disagree (even growing up with the Bayverse I hated the ROTF design) but I respect your opinion (especially for stating that on here).
Napalm
To think we're getting this over Shatter.
Threezero, baby.. I love you. But I really don't like you right now.
Yellow Shirted Kid
Hard agree with that. Seriously, this face is legitimately horrific. The giant forehead, the way-too-small mannequin mouth, the weirdly human nose, and I feel like worms are gonna start crawling out her dead, empty eye sockets at any minute.

To be fair that’s been the MO for Hasbro with Transformers.
Novaburnhilde
Definitely curious to see how ThreeZero's other stuff turns out, even if ROTB turns out to be pants if we can get some cool figures out of it that'd be cool.
zark225
I'd take ROTF Arcee over BB Arcee to be completely honest. Much more of a unique design and doesn't have a soulless demon face.
Angry fan
Yh, but in any case he was never as purple as P1 or SS made him. It's closer to gray than to purple. Well, at this point, considering 3Z loves repaints (or just the useless ones, bcs they have repainted every single BBM character in the most random colors but they didn't do Cliffjumper and Starscream) they should just make a darker version and a purplish one
iOnlyEatEnergon
It's hard to nail because the purple seems to be less prominent in earlier scenes that he appears in. The purple seems to pop more during the final Chicago battle so it's hard to nail exactly.
I personally don't mind if they make the purple pop a little more. Him just being a giant grey blob seems more generic looking.
Angry fan
I really hope they don't. I want him to look like exactly what he looked on screen. Damn, I only realized he had some purple with the SS figure when I wondered why was it purple
