    I'm sure Hasbro won't think it infringes on its Transformers brand then. :lol 

    I was referring to their appearance being almost identical, in response to the member asking why Hasbro would crack down on this figure for trademark infringement.

    I consider this a kind of expensive hobby and if I'm going to spend this type of money on it. It is only on stuff that transforms.

    Dope, then I’m sure their deluxe Prime will be fantastic as well. Will be interesting to see which of these two will come out on top, given how close they seem to be in terms of accuracy and sculpt

    Ive bought 3a bumblebee but I'm going with tw's prime since it transforms. It looks unbelievable so far.

    3a's bot form will probably end up a bit superior with articulation and all since it doesn't have the truck form to limit it.

    That was my idea but I changed my mind since I never display in alt mode, only in bot form. I will go with a transformable figure unless there isn't any other option like 3a's bee. I'll get Jada's diecast of the volks with the Charlie figure and display it next to 3a's.

    Giant parking lots are ugly as hell.

    Well there's definitely some line of defense in here in case of any eventual dispute - "it transforms therefore it is an entirely different toy, oh and it's called "Freedom Leader" btw" :cool: 

    yep that's literally me right here

    Arms are different, chest is different, Toy Worlds transforms. It's similar because they're based of the same character model, but they have enough differences to tell their independent designs. I think this just shows how well Toy world did at putting together a model accurate transforming figure. If it's getting compared to a 3A non-transforming model - then kudos to TW.

    Wow, people are *really* missing the context of the post I was replying to. I'll explain again for clarity:
    The figure itself looks awesome and just about as accurate as 3A's, I agree.

    The Left side of my brain tells me “you don’t need another Optimus Prime”
    The Right side of my brain tells me “Just one more then I’ll stop”
    The right side of my brain is right. It’s also a dirty liar

    I wonder at what point they’ll go into production (not judging anything from the supposed ship dates that have been mentioned, no faith in those). Much as I’ve enjoyed the photos so far, I’m now impatient to see a finished article other than a hand painted proto - despite also fully expecting to hear nothing more until 2020 lol

    I hope this and their TLK Optimus Prime can be released... Their weibo page doesn't work, and their Predaking project was moved to another company... Those are not very good signs... Does anyone know what is happening?!
