Bumblebee Movie

Fellow fan site TFW2005 has reported some new listings for the Studio Series line of movie based figures. There is a lot to absorb here as the line continues to expand beyond the traditional "Bayverse" characters. From the Bumblebee Movie fans can expect characters seen in the exciting opening scene on Cybertron including Brawn and Ratchet! Then on the other side we have more characters coming from the "1986" sub-line of Studio Series figures. These include Perceptor and a Junkion named Junkyard.

Ben's World of Transformers sponsor BigBadToyStore has put up a listing for an extraordinary Optimus Prime action figure by Yolopark. Standing at 25 inches (64.3 cm) tall, a combination of materials including brass and 333 points of articulation this is definitely a piece for the discriminating collector! Optimus Prime is priced at $2,999.99 and due to ship in Q1 2022.

At the end of the live action Bumblebee movie, Optimus Prime appeared on Earth transforming into a very G1-esque truck alongside Bumblebee. If you are a collector with a lot of spare cash, the truck used in shooting that scene can now be yours! A listing on Facebook shows off the vehicle with a lot of descriptive text (pasted below for posterity). The current asking price is $21,600 but the owner is open to offers if you want to give it a go!

Via the Official Transformers Facebook page we now have our first look at MPM-12 Optimus Prime!  This highly detailed figure is based on the character's appearance in the Bumblebee film from 2018.  This item will be a Target exclusive (yes, I know) due for release in August 2021.  No price has been announced yet.  Check out the product description from Facebook and images below:
