    I wonder if Toyworld paid Mamba for the design or just straight up stole it this time.

    Shots fired.

    Holy actual heck. These knight Primes just get better and better. What's Toyworlds pricing and qc usually like? This is already my favorite out of the....what is it...4 knight Optimus Primes now?

    Nice deep elbow bends without awkward double joints like UT. Looks to be nice deep knee bends, something every other version so far seems to sorely lack. Forearms are completely armored from front to back. Fantastic head sculpt with a great and badass almost sneering expression. Gorgeous feet and slim lower legs. Great torso shaping like Black Mamba with minimal backpack like UT. And doesn't look ridiculously over complex like Alien attack's. Now we just need to see the truck mode please.

    That is one chunky ass movie optimus. Dood looks like he loaded up on the robo roids.

    Can't imagine this will hold a candle to UT's design regardless.

    Yeah it's bulky. But it's also not blocky. I like this bot better.

    I love the beefy brawny big rig aesthetic this goes for. So Challenger is regular Optimus while Toy World is Nemesis Prime, eh? Everyone can be happy

    There are a few reasons you don't see it elsewhere, but I would say the primary reason it isn't done more is legal. Copyrights and Trademarks and Licensing. 3rd Party Transformers do not worry about any of those. Sure DC and Marvel (for example) are competitors, but ultimately they can't do the same character so this type of stepping on each other is impossible. They also control whether companies with licenses to make their characters can make truly equivalent versions.

    As for the business practices I for one simply don't care. I will buy the version I like the most, whether it is FT or the one they try to walk over. Also I consider the practice, while it is bad for the competitor if the FT one is better, I consider it great for the customer since they know before spending their money that the option exists. If I had to choose "pro-customer" or "kind to competitors" (who they owe nothing to) as a customer I choose pro-customer.

    For added clarity, this design was never Mamba's to begin with, it belonged to a freelancer and that freelancer was just using Mamba's display counter to showcase his work. The freelancer has joined TW and now his designs belong to the company.

    Damn, even though this is a thick prime he isn’t as box like as UT which I like as well. But this version looks better to me from the head sculpt, arms down to the legs.

    But the alt mode on this is ehhh..if only it was TW bot mode and UT alt mode.

    Good for TW and this new designer I hope TW takes the opportunity and create characters not shown by any 3party company.
