Third party company Dr. Wu have shared images of the color prototype of their DW-E03 Big Surge (G1 Beachcomber) via their Weibo account.

This figure stands only 4.5 cm tall in robot mode so it is even smaller than regular Legends class modern figures and it goes really well with Titan Class figures, or with the War For Cybertron Modulators. A very nice cartoon-accurate robot mode which is fairly poseable for its tiny size.

Third party company Dr. Wu have shared our first images of the color prototype of their DW-E04 Prime Commander (G1 Optimus Prime) via their Weibo account.

Dr Wu’s Extreme Warfare line brings us a very small scale, even smaller than regular Legends class modern figures that goes really well with Titan Class figures, or even with War For Cybertron base modes. Prime Commander stands only 6 cm tall in robot mode and it comes with his trailer and gun. While tiny, this figure still keeps a very G1 cartoon accurate design in both modes with a good range of poseability. The trailer can open and work as a repair bay like the original toy. Dr. Wu also revealed their upcoming limited variants: Sleep mode, Shattered Glass and Nemesis Prime redecos.

Via Weibo users 阿鲁卡多 and 莽姆森 we have images of the color prototype of Unique Toys UT-R04 Nero (Age Of Extinction Galvatron). 

This an excellent movie-accurate rendition of Galvatron as seen in the 4th live-action movie. The robot mode replicates the intricate and detailed design of the body, showing almost no visible alt mode parts. We are sure many movie-collectors will be really pleased with Unique Toys’ Galvatron mold.

Nero is scheduled for release in October 2021 and you can find pre-orders via our sponsors links below. Check out all the images on this news post and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!
