@SW; great composition!

So the new hot thing that Hasbro is doing with their Transformers toy line is called The Power of The Primes. Essentially what that means is that instead of selling us tiny robots that turn into the heads of bigger robots, they sell us bigger robots with fancy blocks of plastic that don't actually do anything. I guess it's up to your imagination or something. On the one hand it's a lazy way to try and squeeze in a new gimmick into Transformers, on the other hand it's entirely pointless.

So my first foray into the Power of The Primes is Starscream! This time he's taking the form of a sleek and streamlined jet fighter with a huge chunky set of legs and arms underneath it, but you're not supposed to look at that. Moving quickly from the flawed, but decent, jet mode, Starscream's robot mode has some wacky proportions with Popeye forearms and two big rectangles for legs. So yeah, he looks like some kind of misshapen jumble of blocks, but he actually poses well.

The articulation joints are nice and tight, so he can hold a pose without being floppy or wiggly. I'm not at all sure what to make of the toy's description that is printed on the card that comes with it. "Quintus Starscream gives life to an army of his own." So, the weird pink block thing that comes with him can fit onto the head slots of the Titan Master transformers from the previous toy line. Maybe he pulls off their heads and replaces them with these things? I dunno, but I rather like the idea of him taking over people's bodies like this.

The other trick he has is that he can turn into a torso with the crown that he wore in the 1986 movie, then he can wear the limbs from the previous Combiner Wars toy line. Essentially what I'm getting out of Power of The Primes is that they're trying to mash as many of their gimmicks from the past five years into one toy line. I can dig it. At least I hope I can, I spent money on this guy!

Wow, I actually talked about the toy more than I did ramble about absolutely nothing this time.

um....

Feel the Light of Primus washing over you

So, I read your weapon of choice above the pic, and in my head, Dragon Ball-esque I heard Primus yelling out that as the name of his attack, rather than a bathing light of.goodness.

"Huh, what's all this freaky white stuff that's appeared from nowhere?"
"I dunno, but it looks fun, I wanna drive in it!"
"Looks kinda lame to me."
"Shut up Stockade!"

I honestly can't remember if I posted these already... so apologies if I have.

Is this a pose or an alternate transformation? Hard to say sometimes.

Either way I prefer it to Optimus's official base-mode.

Back view in case anyone wants to try this transformation themselves.

[Cobotron]

@bod- KP FTW!!!!

@Caelus - that is a great battle fortress. I'm totally coping that. Well done!
(and I don't recall you posting that before)

[bodrock]

KP is as awesome as advertised, Cobbes! I'm so pleased with all his modes -- even "dead dino" is fun.
