While details are few, a group called Unknown Factory Originals, or UFOTOYS, has been posting photos of an axe and shield that resemble the weapons used by Optimus Prime in the Transformers: Dark of the Moon. These weapons are shown with Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime. ETA is unknown.
Staff Note: This kit is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy.

Your got the ROTF prime stickers? If you have any stickers left over if you dont use them all lmk and ill buy them from you. I want some sticker from that set but i cant use alot of them.
hthrun
Just made a huge Reprolabel order, so maybe I'll just wait until after I'm done putting all those stickers on
hthrun
Awesome, I think I'll wait to hear from you before I order…
I noticed Big Hache's shield is no longer available at Shapeways…

Mine shipped from RK a few days ago ill post pics when they arrive

It'd cost me $34 to order both of these on eBay, but only $30 to get them through Robot Kingdom. I almost ordered them, but then backed away. Not sure they're worth that much to me. I'll have to think it over some more…

This shield is already up on Ebay.

anyone know if shapeways shield has been tested already? has anyone bought and reviewed it? would like to know before considering to get the UFO ones to see which one is the shield to get…thanks

As nice as that looks, it still seems a little bit grainy for some reason.

new pics of the finished product (thanks to Planet iacon on fb https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.193990637395016.40152.165524826908264&type=1)

These are the guys who made the hooks and (repro) blades , yes?
BBTS are carrying those, so they might carry these too?
hthrun
I forgot about these. I'll have to start paying closer attention to the RK e-mails…

Interesting but not really my cup of tea. I'm perfectly happy with the shield included with Striker Optimus along with the free TRU battle blades I got while in Japan. The problem with this axe set is there's no DOTM Leader Megatron readily available for Optimus to bury said axe in. XD
Stepper
It sure fit well with Striker OP
Josh
need dat axe

Shield seems slightly superfluous… but i could use that Axe to go with my Stiker Prime.

Those UFO weapons are really good looking. I think I may order those axe, shield and previous blades and hooks if Robotkingdom happens to stock them all.
ibot
yes,that correct UFO.

is this the same ax? hopefully the shield won't be far behind
Big Hache
Hey guys, I appreciate the zeal and the support but FB is right, at the end of the day we're merely third-party developers basing our stuff (typically) off of someone else's stuff.
Also if you look at my ax you'll see that I have a different glyph on each blade whereas the UFOTOYS ax has the same glyph on each blade. Clearly they've modeled their own file for the piece.
Now that that's out of the way, those pieces look nice even if the shield isn't screen accurate. I would love to be able to cast and mold my stuff rather than just use Shapeways prints, but that's not currently possible.
