Thanks, Death! I grabbed those three and Black Shadow/Sky Shadow, because I had a 20% coupon. I thought for sure that he was a pass for me, but after getting Overlord, I’m in love with that mold. So much fun.

Courtesy of fellow Seibertronian DeathReviews - or its mortal minions, in any case - we have notification of a restock on HasbroToyShop for the first wave of Transformers Power of the Primes Prime Masters! This means that all three figures - Micronus, Liege Maximo, and Vector Prime can currently be ordered on the website, and all include the Prime Master and its Decoy Suit , aka the new iteration of the Pretender shells, but pocket sized.

Please note: at the time of writing, the three figures all list availability dates for December 21, meaning this is a pre-order than a buy it now deal. Each figure is priced at $4.99 and there is a limit of three of the same item per household (person placing the order).

Thanks for heads up. I ordered the the 3 prime masters and saw that all legends figures were also available. I picked up Beachcomber and Slash as well. I wish the 12DEALS promo would have helped but nope...at least there was free shipping.

Fri Dec 08, 2017 11:03 am

The December 21st availability date may have changed. When I placed the preorder just now, HTS said that the figures would be available on December 14th and that's the date they would be shipped out.

News Credits: 9 · Fri Dec 08, 2017 11:37 am

Just ordered all 3 Prime Masters. Got a date of 12/14 for the ship date for the Prime Masters so looks like that moved up. The set of 4 Legends figures were also in stock so I picked those up as well. The 12DEALS code does work for these. Got $15 off plus free shipping.

HTS has something going on with their promo code where it's effect changes every day this week. Yesterday, it was to randomly get X% off of something. But the Prime Masters obviously didn't qualify, so I got no special deal on those. And I didn't want to risk waiting a day for a deal that might save me a couple bucks, and perhaps finding them 'out of stock' again. We all know how HTS loves to list things out of stock....

News Credits: 30 · Sat Dec 09, 2017 12:19 pm

HTS finally seems to be a little up and doing, even if it is late to the game. Are you still having trouble finding the "Apeface" Titan Master? He's been restocked and available for purchase at HasbroToyShop.com!

https://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa ... 0?catName=

This one has been REALLY hard to find in stores, and prohibitively expensive on Amazon - sometimes over double the retail price. So be sure to grab this one if you haven't seen him in stores (and as far as I know, NOBODY has....)

Another update for Titans Return figures from HasbroToyShop.com. They're all currently listed as 'coming soon' - you know how they are

But hopefully that means they will BE available before long.

Among the new figures listed:
Quake, Slugslinger, Octone, Krok, and Kup. Still no sign of Misfire, curse them! Check out their listing to see if there's any you wanted, but still can't find in store!

On the down side? Ramhorn is gone from the hasbrotoyshop.com listings.

On the plus side? All the OTHER figures that I mentioned in the post just above are now actually available, including Quake, Kup, Octone and Slugslinger!

So order yours before Hasbro can change their minds - again!

I ordered my two Grotusque Exclusives (separately of course because of the limit of 1 per customer) and while I had to pay for shipping for both instead of qualifying for free-shipping had I been able to order both together, it's worth it just so I'll have this figure after waiting so very long for it to finally be available to order.

Now my fingers are crossed that both are shipped without incident and also that Hasbro releases a Deluxe Class Repugnus in the Power of the Primes line. We need the complete team of Monsterbots!

Yeah good luck waiting for a deluxe repugnus. Think there’s room in that corner where people are still waiting for Takara Liokaizer

Might pick up a second Blot and customize it for Repugnus, because I don't see a deluxe being released either.

Ordered Grotusque. Trying to think of a good body to use for Scorponok.

Tidal Wave works out pretty good! And you can pair him with Trypticon too, with the headmaster slot in the back of his head, you can have Scorponok make him smarter

Whoa, got em. Well I guess I can thank Visionaries for something after all. Wouldn’t have seen that report if I wasn’t reading the thread.

Thank you for the heads up!!! Just ordered one!!!

I think a deluxe Repugnus is quite possible when you think about what other somwhat obscure characters hasbro has done solely to appease fans by compleating "teams"

* Broadside to complete Autobot triple changers

*Quake to complete the Funpub targetmaster juniors team

*Slingshot, Wildrider, and Groove for the fans unhappy with the addition of new characters replacing traditional members

*Kickback because fans kept bitching and bitching and it made sense.

While a more accurate Liokaiser from Takara could have been done with the silverbolt mold, the 6th member would still be missing. I think that was enough to make Takara shy away from doing Liokaiser. Whether due to budget constraints or just out of respect for the Hasbro concept, they didnt want to eliminate the scramble city concept with a double bot torso. Not to mention Hasbros Liokaiser was already at Takara standards in the paint app department. So it would have been the torso or nothing which is what Takara chose.

On the other hand, Hasbro likes to make retools like Grotesque and Arcee to bring in easy $$$. While a future deluxe repugnus might not be a headmaster to go with the other 2 monstrobots, the upcoming terrorcon molds make it entirely possible and profitable. Rippersnapper, Blot, and even Cutthroat would be too easy to resist for Ha$bro.

I think we are going to see a few "black box exclusives" from the POTP molds this year.

That does look good. Thanks for the suggestion. And I do have Tidal Wave with no special attachment to the character. I was thinking a spare Brainstorm or Slugslinger until your post.

got my order in. he'll go well with my Hasbro Twinferno, Takara Doublecross and 3 Repugnus

Sat Jan 06, 2018 4:28 pm

I don't like this figure. It looks kinda stupid.

Insult to injury is that Scorponok head instead of releasing an entire Scorponok even a Voyager one would be cool until a Titan class is released.

Pass!
