Hey BaCon,  Thanks for your article. I created these concepts "Ages ago" around 5 years ago in-fact. They were concepts that the Hasbro Transformers team, were pitching for Transformers 6. Ultimately, Paramount studios chose to go with the standalone Bumblebee movie, in which I also created early concepts work. Will post to ArtStation soon. 

I couldn’t find the Earthrise Optimus Prime so I picked this up instead.  Pretty cool figure although not perfect.  I’ve heard this is the best Optimus Prime figure out there but the whole below the waist seems like a wasted opportunity, there is no transformation at all, except the feet.  Mine even came with a defect at the waist.  Oh well, I still might pick up the Kingdom Leader Optimus Prime if I get a chance.   Getting the two recolor battlemasters are a cool bonus.   Enjoy the review…
