Any pictures of their alt modes?

Thats what we need to see, I mentioned before that I didnt want to break the spine of my comic to scan the alt mode but there has to be a source on the net for the bonus designs that were in the last pages of the book. They showed Don Figueroa's full designs for Nova Prime and Sentinel Prime.

Nova Prime was a cybertronian tractor trailer and his wings formed into the connectors for the trailer, hard to explain but SOOOOO friggin' cool. His wings combine and cucoon the cab to form this huge truck, looks like a huge, cybertronian energon Rodimus kind of cab trailer combo.

And yes, I know we already have some that Don has designed, but that can't stop me from wanting more, can it?

Total agreement there.

What's tne name of the white guy?

Nova Prime, the yellow one is Sentinel Prime.

This was mentioned on the first page.

I too said the same thing over at the comic forum. Don needs his own TF concept line. No diecast either. I want a Nova Prime and PrimeLok damnit!!

Sorry, got confused with all the names.

Nova Prime is cool.

I gotta find his toy version!

DAMMIT TAKARATOMY/HASBRO!!!!! MAKE THESE TOYS OR I WILL FREAK OUT!!!

STOP MAKING SHOEFORMERS AND MAKE THESE BOTS DAMMIT!!!

Nova Prime as a leader class classic, similiar to cybertron leader prime or RID leader prime.....*drool*

Why not Hasbro?

Traditionally, their products are much more affordable than Takara products!

You might have a problem with that...then again, if Hasbro is listening.

WE WANT DON'S NOVA PRIME!!

Megatron with a master? A very doubtful idea.

Well, while I am waiting for either one of them to pick up this design (FYI--not holding breath), I will be on the lookout for kitbashers/customizers to do this. I would even take a stab at it myself if I were any good at it.

I'll take Leader Class Sentinel and Nova Prime's please. While your at it, the War Within and Stormbringer designs need to be added in too.

AKA- Bludgeon, and Thunderwing for starters...

after reading the comic I must say that Nova's "Super" Robot mode reminds me a lot of Super fire convoy.

Only thing I can't figure out is how the lower legs transform,
it looks like something gets flipped around

Has he been announced as a character?

By this point, he's basically confirmed. While in Animated, Ultra Magnus is Prime's superior, Sentinel Prime is either just slightly above Prime or at his same rank.

From what I hear Sentinel is the current autobot leader,
I think Magnus is the one slightly above prime.

Sentinel Prime looks like ass.

Nova Prime is pretty awesome though. £5 says that either he or Jhiaxus is the "big evil that actually isnt Unicron" at the centre of the whole Dead Universe thing.

More like a mentor in my mind, but I think that Megs would kill the mentor himself...

Alright, I dont know if this will happen, but I sooooooo want molds for Nova Prime and Sentinel Prime.

Not titaniums either, Classics treatment all the way.

There has GOT to be a way to make this happen, Don Fig has already worked out the designs for bot and alt modes, and while hasbro is at it, make Monstructor as well.

I know this is wishful thinking, but I cant be the only one who wants these amazing designs realized in a mold.

DO IT Takaratomy! DO IT HASBRO!

never ever gonna happen

Y'know I remember a time on another TF board where I started a thread about hasbro continuing the classics line (this was right after it ended and the movie line was still months and months away.)

There were members who crapped all over it, saying "it will never happen" and "there isnt any money in classics"
Now classics 2.0 is right around the corner.

So never say never.

A Mentor perhaps, someone he would equate as (somewhat) equal, but a master? Never! We have only to look to the animated movie for that.

Although there is that whole Dark Nova, Super Megatron business but I think that's probably in a similar vein to TF:TAM. Megatron is dead/dying someone offers him a way out, he tries to stiff them on the deal.

Either that or he *is* totally zombiefied and therefore not really the Megatron we all know and love.

Good idea. What about the alt mode? Do you know how it looks? Do you have pics?

I'm not sure if anyone is willing to ruin the spine on their copy, but I guess someone could use a digital camera and snap some pictures of the sketch page.

Sadly I do not own such a device.

That's a good idea. How about phone-camera?

as I've said I'd love a Nova Prime figure (would make for a decent Cybertronian version of Tigerhawk too with a slight repaint) and a whole line of Figueroa designed TFs would be good. In addition to the ones mentioned, a pre-Beast Wars Magmantron (as seen in the recent IDW mini) would be amazing.

Yeah, I have to agree.
