Yes... Hot Toys: Transformers - Optimus Prime (Starscream Edition)

Apparently these are from the Hot Toys Facebook page:
*Edit: Thanks to @tf_tf on Twitter for providing the link, apparently this is indeed legit & there are a slew of additional pictures!









Not sure if this pic is legit though, but it sure would explain a bit:





So apparently there's truth to the word, that Movie-verse Prime IS G1 Prime!?!

What... precisely am I looking at?

What... precisely am I looking at?

Its Starscream disguised as Optimus. episode "Megatron's Masterplan"

i don't know why he has the matrix but it looks like a cross-between g1/bay.

I don't think it's Starscream in disguise, as the head accessory is cracked and has a bunch of frayed wires coming out of the neck. He looks kind of dead.

Still, what?? Why? Including Screamer's bits doesn't make any sense to me. Did they get this idea from deviantart?

Pre-ordering at Ani-Com will include a Starscream head as bonus accessory.

So that's how you get a head.
Ani-com is held in August, based in Hong Kong.

I'm not even sure who this is aimed at...

Ball's in your court ThreeA, can you screw this up even more?

It's turned up on Seibertron too:

I don't know.... it's just so.... unsettiling. Like seeing a dogs head sewn onto a cats body - it just doesn't seem right. I'm feeling very conflicted about what I am looking at right now because in a disturbing way it's kinda cool

Its Starscream disguised as Optimus. episode "Megatron's Masterplan"

Um... it's Optimus wearing Starscream's dead body (like Jetfire in ROTF.)

Um... it's Optimus wearing Starscream's dead body (like Jetfire in ROTF.)

why would he need those landing gears? but okay, lets go with Optimus murdering Starscream and then taking his parts for a final showdown with Megatron.

otherwise, this probably would have been better as an upgrade kit for MP-10... which I guess some 3P will now jump on.

So skipping over the whole WTF factor.. for those with HotToys experience, how big do you think this will this be? And how good are HotToys products (quality, durability, posability, finish)?


And i want a Megatron sporting Bumblebee shoes and ear warmers.
