We've known for a while now that 2026 would see the main Age of the Primes line get two Commanders in exchange for Studio Series getting the Titan for the year (which we now know is Age of Extinction Grimlock). We new one of the Commanders would be Onslaught to finish out the Combaticons, but the second Commander remained a mystery. Thanks Jtprime17 over on TFW2005 we now know the second Commander will be Armada Jetfire! He'll be a perfect companion piece for the previous Commander Armada Optimus Prime. Time will tell just how well he fits the price point.

TRA GEN PRIMES CMDR 2 (Armada Jetfire)
Product Number: G1972

Are you excited for a new Jetfire to finish out Prime's jet pants? And for that matter are you hoping for Hasbro to give Armada Prime a rerelease in 2026? Let us know in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!

So, they make a companion for a toy that barely was available? Great move. Re-release armada prime and id consider jet fire.

Yes, Armada Prime definitely needs a rerelease.

How about an online exclusive Titan-priced 2-pack of Prime and Jetfire?

If it's Star Convoy priced, I can see it happening. But to make that 2 pack worth it, they should be in a unique deco. Like this one:

In that case, the price would be higher than Star, but lower than the standard titan. I expect Overload to be a voyager.

He would have to be leader sized to carry Jetfire in vehicle mode.

Oh yeah, I forgot about this feature. Plus this time around, the minicon would be mandatory. That minicon could almost be deluxe sized too.

Personally I think if they're mad enough to do a 3 pack then it needs to be in Powerlinx colors and instead of Overload or Ultra Magnus they should do Sentinel Maximus and Ape-linq! I think the red, white and blue would look great on the "tower of doom".

Should have my Sideways from Walmart.com in the next few days. So weird that they cancel pre-orders like this only to put them in stock a few days later.

That would be nice. They don't really have the sort of recognition as the minibots, but then neither does Jalopy. I'd like them to do Autobot Double Targetmasters first, though.

The Sideways cancelations were due to a mistake where they were sending out entire cases of the figure instead of single individual figures.

I wish I could say that surprised me but it doesn't. Though, that same week they canceled a bunch of MotU pre-orders.

Does anyone else feel Crasher wasn't done justice?
I don't mind the mirage mold, I prefer the Siege version, but it might have looked better on the Cybertron Hot Shot/Excellion mold.
IMG_20250805_233008106~2.jpg

I'm not opening her. After looking at G2 Mirage, it's such a bad alt mode.
But in a box, in robot mode, behind a plastic window... Mm.

That mold didn't yet exist at the time the Velocitron subline was first released. Crasher is a reissue of that same release, rereleased due to how difficult to find she was the first time around.

Plus, she's inspired by the 2007 Movie Fracture figure that was likewise a Mirage redeco, as they can't make her look too much like the original GoBot/Machine Robo toy whose likeness is owned by rival company Bandai. She needs to look legally distinct enough in order to not infringe on Bandai's IP, especially when trying to market the toy in Japan where Bandai's competition with TakaraTomy is even greater than it is with Hasbro in the west.

My only real complaint is using that ugly G1 Mirage toy head instead of the softer cartoon head. Applying the same deco would have differentiated it enough just like the movie figure did. Heck, use the regular Siege head on the Kingdom body and that would really differentiate things.

So, I get what you are saying, but they knew the mold was coming as they plan many of the molds far in advance. They could have just waited on this particular release, and I'm not even super set on the Hot Shot toy as the model, even a Whpeeljack mold would have been a fresher idea.
Maybe they produced a certain amount at the initial pressings and held them back in a warehouse to package in aotp packaging. It kinda makes sense logistically, but would be super lazy and uninspired. Mirage is just not the figure to embody Crasher, imo.

While it is likely that the Legacy United Cybertron Hot Shot mold was in development at the time that Velocitron Crasher was released, that same timetable would also apply to when Crasher was first in development, which would have been even further back during the War For Cybertron Trilogy long before the point when Legacy United would have been in planning stages. If the time from conception to release for each figure is about two years, then Crasher would been first planned back during Earthrise in 2020, since she was released during Legacy Year 1 in 2022. Legacy United was released in 2024, with Cybertron Hot Shot being part of the Wave 3 Deluxes released in the latter half of the year, so the earliest that that mold would have enter the planning stages would have been back during the middle of 2022 either around the time or after Velocitron Crasher was already set and ready to go for release at retail.

And, like I said before, she's not supposed to precisely resemble the GoBot (because, legally, she can't), she's supposed to resemble 2007 Movie Fracture, who only wasn't named "Crasher" at the time due to both trademark reasons and the Hasbro team at the time frowning on obvious GoBots homages (designer Joe Kyde had to get around Hasbro Legal by arguing that Fracture's deco was based more on a real-life F-1 racer instead).

Package refreshes are more common a thing now. This isn't old stock taken out of Velocitron packaging and put into AOTP packaging. This is a newly-manufactured production run of the same figure with new packaging. The current Hasbro team is willing to do this kind of thing nowadays for figures that are harder to find.

Since Crasher is not an original transformers character, I think Hasbro really looks at those from the opposite perspective as you are. Meaning, they have a mold first and then try to figure out who else the mold can be used for rather then what mold would be the best-ish fit for the character.

On top of that the best mold fit they already had at the time of release and it would have been PotP Jazz, which I'm actually surprised did not happen.

Oh, big time, so I'm actually fine with them using the Mirage mold. It was just the absolute correct shape for the car for Crasher that is seemed like a no brainer.

Yeah, but, legally-speaking, that's probably a reason why they didn't ever use it for Crasher. ;)

Also because the robot mode was bad, in general, for Jazz or Crasher. Correct on the alt mode though, it would have looked nice in car mode for her.

That, and Fracture was also a Walmart exclusive so it isn't just a homage to the original figure but also a homage to how it was sold.

Out of curiosity, what exactly are the "legal reasons"? Considering Hasbro bought Tonka in 1991. Since Tonka is no longer a separate entity it's not like they can make new GoBots toys. Yet for some reason neither can Hasbro. lol
Is there a third party involved as to why their original likeness cannot be recreated?
I wouldn't mind seeing a few more made.

Hasbro buying Tonka didn't really get them GoBots as characters, just the names associated with it. Cartoon likenesses are owned by WB (or whoever, it traded hands a lot over the years) and the toy likenesses still belong to Bandai. Companies didn't always fully protect their IPs back in the day, it's why there's so many Transformers characters in the comics that are owned by Marvel. This stuff was basically considered disposable, nobody expected it to survive the 80s so they didn't put a lot of effort into protecting all of it. Hasbro had a little more foresight than most companies of the time, but a lot of toy companies abandoned IPs as quickly as they made them. Lately Nacelle has been snapping up a lot of abandoned IPs like Robo Force, Insectaurs, Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Biker Mice from Mars and most recently Power Lords.

If you're referring to the likes of Circuit Breaker and Death's Head, those two are owned by Marvel because they made their first debuts in comics belonging to Marvel first and foremost before they first appeared in the Marvel Transformers comics. Any character who originally first debuted in the Transformers comics defaulted to Hasbro's ownership since the Marvel Transformers comics were a licensed series rather than a Marvel-original work. So it's just Circuit Breaker and Death's Head (and Spider-Man and all the cameos from Issue #3) whom Marvel own. Everyone else who first debuted in the Marvel Transformers comics are Hasbro's IP.

I would have preferred a straight reissue of the older one if they "have to" do what's already been done. I woulda still wanted it in the aotp packaging.
IMG_20250807_233018790~2.jpg

The alt mode is just cleaner and I remember liking the robot mode. I like the mirage robot mode, and Crashers robot mode is nice.. but if they had time to wait to rebatch that mirage mold to fit it in aotp packaging.. they had time to wait for greener opportunities
Like, plans change.
It's like saying all the egghead's at hasbro are like "no man, we can't make changes." So I'm saying, they could a been like hey let's not pay to bring out another mold, they could have just used the hot shot mold after molding Excellion and just slap Crasher/Fracture color scheme in it.
It's just a cool figure/ property and I think they could have been more creative.

The whole point of rereleasing Velocitron Crasher in AOTP was to give those who missed out on her the first time a second chance to get her, because of how difficult she was to find the first time around. People wanted her but couldn't find her, and now they can.

I had to wait for lucky eBay finds that happened to be at the normal price plus shipping... Twice.

The reissue of Crasher and Cosmos were certainly not a luxury.

The rumor, started by Jtprime17, was that Excellion and Sideways were still being released (Sideways was still showing up in other countries when Walmart cancelled all those orders) but the rest of the capsule was cancelled. That still seems to be true, we've never seen Walmart just release only two figures from a full capsule like this before.

I don't know who all was in the Capsule subline but if this character is any indication it won't be missed by me, I'm just not into the Cybertron show. And the design of Sideways doesn't do anything for me albeit a neat alt mode. After the frustration with Cosmos and Crasher being part of their Exclusive I don't ever want Walmart getting something similar that I'm after again.

I'm happy that these two are seemingly more plentiful and easy to acquire for those who want them, and at least Pulse offers an allotment whereas they didn't with the aforementioned two from Velocitron 500.

I know Cosmos was on Pulse back then because I missed the pre-order. Learned my lesson that day. Luckily they put him out again.

The only other figure for this capsule to have been leaked was Cybertron Skywarp, but it's never so much as been leaked which really just adds more evidence to the line being canceled. If it had gone as planned there would have been two more Deluxes and a Leader.

Got some of the new bots in lately.

Alchemist, Vortex, and Heatwave are all very mid. If it weren't for how cool skybyte is, the whole wave would be forgettable.

Sideways is great, and Excellion is pretty nice.

I really hope we get an Alpha Bravo selects repaint of Vortex, he looks good on superion

I never thought about an Alpha Bravo repaint ever existing, but you may be on to something.

EDIT: And Vortex actually fits on Superion.

I believe that's intentional, can't pass on a repaint!

Not only Alpha Bravo, but I'm also expecting a Blades retool/redeco out of the mold. I just can't see them making another different deluxe helicopter/combiner arm mold.

Why striving for CARTOON ACCURACY with a freaking GENERATIONS toy?
The beasts in Kingdom did it right by giving us a "cartoon accurate" bot mode but with a realistic altmode. Why not having Blitzwing having an accurate bot mode but with perfect altmodes? Without some mind-boggling EXTRA KIBBLE?

I throw my vote in as well.

Having Legacy leader (LEADER) Blitzwing using faux-parts to achieve the crappy imperfect look of the G1 original is baffling and an insult.

With the leader budget, there's no excuses to not be able to make both a perfect tank and a perfect jet.
If 3P would design a "Blitzwing" in current Generations scale that would sell for less than 100$ it would be quite a flex on Hasbro/Takara.

With that said, I can now forgive Siege Astrotrain for having imperfect vehicle modes, but he's at least his own thing and the imperfect vehicles are still cohesive without using fake parts for uglyfication like Blitzwing.


Well well well. How's the turntables. :lol:

The mold is much, much more enjoyable than I anticipated. Plus, once you figure out how it works, it is surprisingly simple. Overcharge hide his thank kibble well in jet mode simply because the tank is in darker colors. I no longer hate the tank's "dick out" because it make me think about a knight in armor that have his package fully exposed and it's hilarious. And finally, thanks to the ridiculous mittens, I now have a :CON: cheerleader team!

Oh, Gemini, you... :lol:

Venin is out and some fans, including myself, have made reviews. You can check them out below. Venin marks the last of the G1 deluxe Insecticons and Hasbro finished that set off with the only one to get a mold all to themselves. From the review below, you'll notice that it is a very odd toy though. The toy has come out in Canadian Walmarts along with the two remaining Aerialbots in the wave and Micronus Prime.

Age of the Primes wave 3 is out and some fans, including myself, have made reviews of Micronus Prime, the latest Prime to be released. You can check out the videos below. From the review below, you'll notice that it is a very interesting deluxe as it is a minicon in a mech suit. The toy has come out in Canadian Walmarts along with the two remaining Aerialbots in the wave and Insecticon Venin.

As you may have gathered from our recent posts, wave 3 of Age of the Primes is out in Canada. Voyagers and deluxes have been found at Walmart. The specific sightings come from Ontario and Quebec. For those wondering, here are the wave contents:

Deluxe:
Aerialbot Fireflight
The Thirteen Micronus Prime
Aerialbot Skydive
Venin

Voyager:
The Thirteen Alpha Trion
Flatline

These were all found at Walmart. While this is earlier than other regions, it does mean that several stores will thus be skipping wave 2, for deluxes, which have been very sparse. We also have reviews of this wave's contents after the images.

I'm digging the uni-bike that is Micronus Prime. I get to thinking of the classic animated series Spiral Zone. :-P It's an easy buy for me but it would have been cooler had the engineers made a better way to keep him standing upright in alt-mode....'nuff said! :VEHI:
