It does feel like a 3A kind of thing. Of course, there, they would have taken artistic liberties with Prime to the point that he was barely recognizable. And they would give him more weathering to where he looked rusted out or something.

It's on HT's official Facebook page.

This is incredible news and an instant PO! Wow...the G1 Prime looks so good! Agreed that I'd have preferred it without the Starscream accessories but love the rocky base with the autobot logo

Will still be sticking to my takara tomy for consistency purposes. Since I know HT will prolly just release maybe Optimus and megatron and call it a day.

guys, I'm assuming 30cm means 1/6 scale right? Any news on a pre order date?

Re: Hot Toys - THE TRANSFORMERS G1: Optimus Prime (Starscream Version) (Spec + Pics)

It is definitely not going to be 1/6 scale. For an 18-wheeler, that would be MASSIVE! It should be around 12" tall, though.

This could be the start of another Iron Man type revolution for HT.

Why is he wearing Starscream's wings ?

Wow - what a figure!!!

I get the scale & other criticisms - & as others have said, the MP Prime is still the way to go.

This guy - while pretty, will be three times as delicate, three times the price - & doesn't transform.

I don't have it yet, but it's the MP Prime for me, when I can nab one at the right time.

I couldn't be less intrested in Optimus Prime but if they do Megatron next it'll make up for the absence of a Masterpiece version that doesn't suck.

This is such an incredible day. This figure takes me back to my childhood! I LOVED TF as a kid. Still do. I shudder to think what this will cost.

Megatron with Arcee boobies! If they're gonna mix it up, why not with Arcee?

Google says a standard 18 wheeler is about 60 feet long, so your custom is around 30 feet tall??? Impressive

Re: Hot Toys - THE TRANSFORMERS G1: Optimus Prime (Starscream Version) (Spec + Pics)

I've been thinking this will be about the same height as MP-01 & that does transform so I'd be interested to see how the 2 actually compare side by side.

Might be that if you detailed MP-01 properly you could have this exact figure anyway.

its actually 1:12 scale but its the size of a Sideshow half scale statue so it's big enough and my G1 Megatron is even bigger at just under 50inches tall!!!
