Transformers MDLX figures feature threezero’s unique die-cast zinc alloy and engineer-grade plastic frame system, which enhances the tactile playability and durability of the figure. Each figure is finished off with the detailed craftsmanship and weathered paint application that threezero is known for, bringing the beloved The Transformers characters to a new format for all to enjoy.

Threezero has updated their website with an announcement for the next figure in their MDLX line, Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, available for preorder later this year.

In 2008, the Transformers twisted parallel universe was revealed – the Shattered Glass universe, a dark mirror where the roles and factions have been reversed. The once heroic Autobots are now an evil army, with their leader, Optimus Prime, an ambitious conqueror who stops at nothing, and who is known to modify his comrades into killing machines. The traditionally heroic Optimus Prime now sports a ghastly and sinister purple hue on his body, reflecting the bold and terrifying mirror universe.

Standing at approximately 17.8cm tall, MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime is part of the MDLX series by threezero, specially crafted for collectors of small-scale articulated mechanical action figures. Its notable features lie in the compact and intricate design, incorporating threezero’s signature weathered paint technique and the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. This figure utilizes engineering-plastics skeletal technology within its small frame, capable of high-articulation and durability, allowing for incredible poseability.

MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime has been redesigned by threezero, taking inspiration from the original G1 Transformers animated series. It boasts stunning detail, with threezero’s renowned weathered paint technique. The upper body is coated in metallic purple and silver, while the lower body features a dominant metallic blue tone, and his head features sinister dark red optics. The mechanical patterns on each joint are sharply defined with expert sculpt work. The detail on his transparent chest window includes the signature shattered glass, portraying the fierce and menacing nature of MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime.

The MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime accessories include a total of six pairs of interchangeable hands, including two pairs of gesture hands, one pair of fists, one pair of Energon Axe holding hands, one pair of holding Ion Blaster hands, and one pair of holding “Matrix of Leadership” holding hands. The weapon designs are intricately detailed, featuring a metallic silver Ion Blaster and an Energon Axe with fluorescent green blade edges. Additionally, the set includes the “Matrix of Leadership” which can be inserted into MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime’s chest.

Threezero has updated their site with images with the upcoming MDLX Starscream. MDLX is the smaller line from Threezero with most figures around 8 inches tall and retail for about $80. Starscream is estimated to release 4th Quarter of this year and preorders open up May 17th 9am HKT.

“Threezero is proud to announce the newest character in the MDLX series, Starscream, the treacherous Decepticon Air Commander and the leader of the Seekers.

MDLX Starscream stands approximately 7.8” (20cm) tall to the top of his wings, and is equipped with threezero’s signature Die-cast Zinc Alloy and engineering-grade plastics internal frame system with over 50 points of articulation. Accessories include two interchangeable faces, one detachable back wing system, two detachable null-ray cannons, two detachable threezero original design blades, and four pairs of interchangeable hands. The aircraft back wing system can also attach on to the back of the MDLX Optimus Prime (sold separately), recreating the classic scene from the original cartoon where Starscream pretends to be Optimus Prime. The null-ray cannons and blades are able to detach and reattach to the wings.”
