Kotobukiya Bishoujo Transformers Optimus Prime & Megatron Product Details & Designer Interview

Following the Kotobukiya Bishoujo Transformers reveal, we have more updates on their Optimus Prime & Megatron Statues. These are not your common designs as reimagined anime versions of the Transformers faction leaders. The Optimus Prime release is scheduled for summer 2022 with Megatron's release in 2023. Read on to see the translated Kotobukiya Bishoujo Transformers Optimus Prime & Megatron designer interview with Shunya Yamashita and product details below.


PRODUCT DESIGNERS INTERVIEW

Q: [OPTIMUS PRIME] Which part would you highlight the most?

A: [OPTIMUS PRIME] The illustrator, Shunya Yamashita, the Transformers development team, and Kotobukiya's Transformers fans all put their heads together to create this wonderful design! I would love for you all to compare this statue side by side with the original Optimus Prime, and His trailer has been reimagined into a briefcase that perfectly fits Optimus's protective nature. Doesn't it make you feel safe and sound?


Q: [OPTIMUS PRIME] Why did you decide on this pose?

A: [OPTIMUS PRIME] You can't talk about Optimus Prime without bringing up his signature line, "I've got an idea." We designed Optimus in a reliable and heroic pose, standing tall while raising his finger in the air. Since the pose is rather simple, we made subtle adjustments to details such as the angle of her feet and how she arches her back, to make sure she looks flawless from every possible angle.


Q: Which part of the sculpting process did you pay attention to most?

A: [OPTIMUS PRIME] Notice the shorts and knee-high socks paired with the heavy jacket? Something we worked hard on during the sculpting process is to make the contrast between thick and thin materials and textures. I'd also like to highlight the messy buns. They show an unexpectedly approachable side of Optimus, and also were made to recreate the antennas on his head.


Q: [MEGATRON] What do you think are the best features of this character?

A: [MEGATRON] Even though he's the supreme leader of the Decepticons, Megatron is surprisingly cooler and a lot more lenient to his subordinates than you'd initially expect.


Q: What has been the hardest part of the process so far?

A: [MEGATRON] I definitely wanted to have her hold the Fusion Cannon in her right hand, so we explored various poses while keeping in mind how she would look like alongside Optimus Prime.


Q: [MEGATRON] A comment from the product planner.

A: [MEGATRON] I want to thank Hasbro and TAKARA TOMY for letting us make this happen. As a fan of the Transformer series, I'm honored to have had the chance to be a part of it. people gain interest in the Transformer series through these BISHOUJO statues. Thank you all for your continuous support!
