There's some pics online of AOTP Bruticus in hand with size comparisons of Legacy Menasor and AOTP Superion.

The Combiner that people complained was "too small" is just slightly taller (not counting the cannons on his back) than his fellow Five-team combiners. This should give us a good idea as to how tall Defensor will be.

So he's about the height of SS86 Devastator, then.

I created a land vehicle transformation for Amalgamous Prime. Have some pictures, if anyone wants to recreate it.

When I saw Quickstrike in store, I told myself "why not" and I got him.

Wow.

Not only is he cool looking in both modes and the transformation is easy, but MAN, is that thing BEAUTIFUL. There's tons of nice shiny paint all over. Plus, the beast looks like some Egyptian god's minion.

The latest Voyagers from Transformers Age of the Primes have appeared at Walmart in Canada with this specific sighting coning from Quebec. This wave includes Nexus Prime and Armada Sideways. We have some reviews below for you to see in case you want to have more info. Interestingly enough, the instructions for Nexus Prime have no mention of him being a combiner so the video below is one of the only ways to see how to transform him into a torso for the Superion frame (he is not compatible with Menasor).

These Voyagers were $47.97 Canadian, which comes out to less than $35 in US dollars. This is much cheaper than the new Voyager price point in the US, which is $43 USD, showing that in the wake of tariffs, Hasbro’s toys are now priced at a different index outside the global market which has not had as significant a price increase.

(Sorry about the photo orientation. I’m on my phone and can’t get the image to rotate.)Found these at my local Target in North Alabama (I bought both).

Nexus is neat. The torso is definitely the highlight for me, so I’m glad that they’re releasing the limbs next year.

Sideways is objectively good, but it hits weird as an update; not dissimilarly to Armada Megatron. It’s super frustrating and feels like a huge missed opportunity that they didn’t make him titan master compatible.

Just to make sure.
Will they release the Nexus Prime limbs next year? And if yes, will they all be deluxes with a part of the skeleton, making them voyagers, or will they re-release Nexus Prime as a commander, thus making that Nexus voyager pointless to buy?

All that has been said by Hasbro is, "We will make his limbs. Don't worry. They are coming." Who, what, how, and when are all unknown at this point.

Tsk.

I don't want to double-dip on Nexus Prime, but I'm FOMOing on him.

So they confirmed that the limbs were coming in 2027 during the February livestream. No more than that. Since he uses the Superion frame and we don't have very many leaks for next year, I imagine they might piecemeal the frame with the other bots, or we might see a Pulse multipack with repainted frame. I would be surprised if they expected people to use their Superion frame for big Nexus.

Courtesy of Comicbook.com we have an official image of the upcoming Age of the Primes Commander class Jetfire with the Space team / Requiem blaster.

Pre-orders tomorrow on HasbroPulse and other fan channels.

Oh, that's freaking NICE.

I am surprised by the inclusion of the Space Mini-Con Team. Now, where's the Race Team?

Haven't gotten updates from this thread lately.

Jetfire looks great as expected, his head sculpt looks perfect and the inclusion of the Requiem Blaster is absolutely welcome. Eager to see some size comparisons at some point, he looks like he's gonna be an absolute unit.

...y'know it's crazy y'all are having this conversation now(-ish), because I just got back from a brief trip for a family birthday and returned to see new leaked listings on TFW2005 courtesy of their own Jtprime17, looks like AotP is getting an extra wave like Legacy:United, Kingdom, and Siege previously:
TRA GEN PRIME DLX G2 WILDRIDER
Product Number: G3579

TRA GEN PRIME DLX SKY GUARD
Product Number: G3578

TRA GEN PRIME DLX BREAKAWAY
Product Number: G3580

TRA GEN PRIME DLX ALPHA BRAVO

TRA GEN PRIME VOY GUZZLE
Product Number: G3582

TRA GEN PRIME LDR NEW PRIME
Product Number: G3510

TRA GEN PRIME LDR MW STARSCREAM
Product Number: G3511

Not really AotP but I don't see where else to necessarily put them:
TRA GEN RETRO DLX BUGBITE
Product Number: G3699

TRA GEN RETRO DLX EXHAUST
Product Number: G3700

...and yeah, the reason I used those specific posts as my intro for this is that it's already been all but explicitly said over there that "Sky Guard" is a new copyright-friendly name for Skyfall of Nexus component fame, which combined with the presence of Breakaway in the same wave would then leave us at 2/4 limbs already, presumably with the rest to come. No one seems to know who/what "New Prime" is gonna be though, in the same vein as this year's still-mysterious "Unicron Soldier".

He also has strongly hinted at a lot more, but there's no listings for any of it that have been posted yet, and all of it would be in different/new threads anyway

That coincidence is hysterical.

I'm glad that the leaks are pointing toward them knocking the limbs out quickly next year. I don't remember if the Alpha Bravo or Cybershark had already been leaked, but those repaints are to be expected and are exciting (especially for those wanting a non-Takara G2 Menasor). I'm kind of hoping this "New Prime" is an alternative to the Thirteenth, as I'm not a huge fan of the titan Star Optimus.

Mark Maher a.k.a Markclonus from the Hasbro Transformers design team has posted an image on his instagram of the combined form of Prime and Jet Fire and its glorious. Also, the guns combine into a large rifle.

Heck yeah! I love modular weapons like that!

Very nice. Now if only they could give us a new Overload figure...

Either I got a weird copy or AOTP Armada Sideways is just NOT a fun toy. My thumbs are in agony.

Didn't somebody (Mark?) confirm no new skeleton for Nexus when the limbs are released? I know I read that somewhere.

Looks like I have a lot of writing to do. I just spent 4 hours after work and shopping working in my garden, I just want to relax!

Now that you mention it, I kinda remember hearing that, but then it was retracted or something.

There's been rumors since last year that Armada Jetfire would be coming to Commander class in Age of the Primes as a follow up to Armada Optimus Prime. Well the day is here. Our first look comes with the start of pre-orders. Jetfire comes with all of his original accessories as well as the Space Mini-Con Team which one of the Jetfire releases back in the day also included. Unfortunately he doesn't include his actual Min-Con, Comettor, continuing Hasbro's long tradition of skimping on Mini-Cons. He's priced at $100 and expected to be released at the start of November 2026. More details can be found below. Thanks to Seibertronian Overcracker for first posting this to the Energon Pub forum and for also posting our first look at Jetfire combined with Commander class Armada Optimus Prime via Mark Meher on Instagram.

Product Features

• Collectible Transformers figure set includes Armada Jetfire, Mini-Con Astroscope, Mini-Con Skyblast, and Mini-Con Payload.
• Armada Jetfire figure is 8 inches (20 cm) to the top of his head, 10 inches (25 cm) to the top of his wings.
• Convert between robot and space shuttle mode in 41 steps.
• Each Mini-Con figure converts from bot to alt mode, and they can be combined to make the Requiem Blaster.
• Armada Jetfire figure can be combined with Armada Optimus Prime figure (sold separately, subject to availability) to make Jet Optimus.
• Includes blaster accessory that attaches in both modes.

Before the war, even before the Autobots and Decepticons, there were The Thirteen Primes. Every bot, battle, and power in the Transformers universe can be traced back to them. The Age of the Primes line celebrates their epic legacy with a far-reaching collection that touches nearly every corner of the lore. Build your lineup to create a display that is - More Than Meets the Eye.

It's been a while since we've had a good leak from Jtprime17 and this one's a doozy. Not because it's long but because it fills in some missing pieces that we've been waiting years for. We're finally getting a Machine Wars Starscream from the Legacy Evolution Skyquake mold from 2023, G2 Wildrider to wrap up the Stunticon cars that started with Shadowstrip in 2022, and our first two limbs for Nexus Prime as was promised after his reveal in the form of Breakaway and Sky Guard (the new name for Skyfall). Plus we're getting Voyager Guzzle for the Wreckers fans, Deluxe Alpha Bravo for the Combiner Wars Fans (no doubt a repaint of Vortex), and a Cybershark to bolster your Transmetals ranks. There's also another Leader listing for Leader "New Prime", which could be just that as a way to wrap the Age of the Primes line.

Also, since this is where we talk about the Walmart Retro line, we have two more of those to talk about. First up is Bugbite, the white repaint of Bumblebee. He wasn't originally a G1 figure (he was a GoBot) so it should be interesting to see what the evil car's card art looks like. Second up is Exhaust, the evil repaint of Wheeljack and definitely not a cigarette ad. Exhaust is our first non-Mini Vehicle which really opens wide the possibilities.

Lists with codes are below. Thanks to Nemesis Primal for posting these on the Energon Pub forums!
