3rd party company DNA Design has taken to their Facebook page this morning to unveil their newest product: The DK-37 upgrade kit for Legacy Laser Optimus Prime!
Included in this kit is a whole host of upgrades for the Autobot leader including new guns, articulated hands, leg gap fillers, and a piece that allows his melee weapons to be stored on his back. The main attraction however is perhaps some new pieces for his trailer that make for a more impressive base/battle station mode and even allow it to be wielded in robot mode. It is expected to be released this October.
Check out the pics and let us know what you think after the break!
Astrus Prime
It's not quite that, given Battle Tanker would have included some extra armour pieces for him (Stompy Boots and Hulk Hands, chestplate, maybe some shoulder missiles etc), but it definitely gives off that vibe.
Not gonna lie though I'd absolutely LOVE a Battle Tanker upgrade for this guy.

Maketoys Battle Tanker much?
Bahamut Prime
Looks much better!

Really shoulda came with a new sword instead of trying to fix that awful combination with the pizza cutter
Armageist
Aww, I'm glad a 30yo product still tickles your fancy with shooty parts…

I PO'd. More for the rifles and gap fillers than anything else. Though I do enjoy the fact that this set essentially turns a Hasbro product into a Maketoys one. I miss Maketoys.

The one plus over 3d Printed ones is it's not 3d printed. No layer cake craptastic plastic.
People that have hopped on the "filler grift" need to invest in resin printers or injection molding services so their parts don't look like they heat dried a play-doh mold.
Elaborate

I'd prefer the product I like better which most certainly isn't this one.

If they release a Black version I'll likely pick it up

That figure's whole proportions are jacked really. Thighs too long, Head too small, Arms too small, The tiny (Actual) shoulders are too close to the body
I got Larkin's G2 Megs set as well, The one Emgo reviewed on his channel is 50-68 Dollars!! at least it is now.

I am very tempted as that level of sheer missile toting insanity is just hilarious
I'm just surprised so many people had issues with Laser Prime's legs. I mean, yeah, wheels aren't stinking out of them like the original but, they get the job done
Now just have to look into getting one of those G2 Megs sets so Megs can share in the upgrade fun and have his big ol' shoulder cannon
firmpulse
Looks nice. I’ll buy it
Requiem Prime
I've decided to preorder this set instead of Matrix Workshop's. MW is more faithful to the toy and Maketoys, but when I go G2, I want to go crazy. It took four upgrade kits to get there with G2 Megs.
Agreed, since they glue these heads together it's way too fine a place for me to trust my own hands to fix directly

This is a must buy for me.

Was hoping for an alternate head with light piping like Scourge got. I wouldn't be too picky about it, if HasTak had at least painted his brow silver so that the blue eyes didn't get lost in the blue brow.
Afterburner
Can't support them anymore after what they did to fans with DK-17. And why exactly would I want missiles sticking out of the back end of the tanker? I feel like they really overdo some of of their sets.
SG Unicron
Looks pretty cool! I like the guns, and the battle tanker mode\'s cooler than the Matrix Workshop one (I think that\'s whose making it?), but without that sword, this set just doesn\'t feel complete (Also doesn\'t feel right without the toy\'s original missile like the other one gives ya, but it\'s less important than that sword).
SG Unicron
Where can I find these folks?
KnightHawkke
I mean it's cool, if you need all the extra bells and whistles.. I'm more excited for Larkin's second set. It gives the correct top of the tanker, the big blue missiles, and square secondary launcher.
