The Energon Pub

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:

Or add a new Overload to them like in that shot

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".

I was just wondering/thinking if Hasbro might delve into more Throttelbots when they're done with minibots, Goldbug could use some friends. I remember having Wideload as a kid.

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.

I was able to buy Sideways and pre-order Seaspray, but I won't be surprised if the same cancel-fest happens again when Seaspray starts to ship within the US.
