Ah, looks like TFW2005 have a gallery of all the Wave 1 box art reveals!

By my count, this gives us our first looks at Solus Prime, Silverbolt & Slingshot, plus Animated Wasp, G2 Grimlock (and Wheelie!), Star Convoy, and proper images of Prima and Red Alert.

Ahh they're gonna make me buy Star Convoy aren't they...

Wallet will hurt....

Slingshots brick mode is probably the worst alt mode any slingshot has ever had. Star convoy better be motorised at the price they are charging.

Animation accurate, he wasn't precisely aerodynamic in the cartoon.

Ha!, you must be new, or just very naive.

Probably just large enough to not feel totally overpriced.

He won't be. And the price is cheaper than other titans.

So if Titan Grandus ever does come to be, he'll be this downsized-Titan-class as well?

And here I was so sure "Titan" Star Convoy would be smaller but come with Sky Garry to bulk him up to $200, because then a Titan Grandus in 2026 would match the relative scale of their G1 toys. Sigh.

"Star Convoy will debut the new Titan price point. Which is CHEAPER than the usual $199.99. If I recall correctly his MSRP is $159.99

titans also now come packed in cases of 3 and not 2 anymore"

In other words, "Titan" now equals "HasLab but for mass retail".

Does it? The price drop indicates otherwise. It's cheaper so I'm pretty sure it will be smaller than 2 feet. Yeah, so is HasLab Omega Prime, but he contains 2 separate figures.

I'm much more interested in Superion. He looks good and beefy. But I thought silverbolt himself was a commander class figure. Shouldn't Superion be larger? Or will they incorporate the same setup Menasor got?

He is.

Larger than what?

I doubt they'll give him a "trailer" for the Superion skeleton.

I'm fairly sure, he'll be quite large to accommodate the Superior parts.

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Thu Dec 05, 2024 1:43 pm

Superion should be about the same height as Menasor. That's the Combiner height and they're equal rivals. It'd be foolish for Superion to be so much taller than Menasor.

News Credits: 22 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Thu Dec 05, 2024 1:46 pm

He was called Commander class Superion. I'm just saying if Silverbolt is Commander class, adding the others to him should make him larger than he is by himself. Unless his commander classification is the same as Motormaster, and we're getting a voyager Silverbolt with a bunch of extra parts that can be attached in jet mode and when they combine.

News Credits: 33 · by **Glyph** » Thu Dec 05, 2024 1:50 pm

I find it interesting that Silverbolt wasn't mentioned in the JTPrime SKU / wave breakdowns, and if he is indeed coming in wave 1 as seems to be shown here, it looks like we're missing Deluxe Air Raid?

EDIT: Dammit, I'm dumb and managed to omit Slingshot in my own image post and not notice that Air Raid was there in his place, even though I'd grabbed both pictures! #-o

Solus Prime: Prime Wars

Micronus Prime: RID 2015

Between the Solus box art and Micronus leak, looks like I'm right on 6/13 so far

The only ones left to see are Onyx, Amalgamous, Alchemist, Alpha Trion (if we get a new one), Quintus, and Nexus

We thank Glyph for letting us know of the leaked images of the box art for several figures in Transformers Age of the Primes.

This gives us our first looks at Solus Prime, Silverbolt & Slingshot, plus Animated Wasp, G2 Grimlock (and Wheelie!), Star Convoy, and proper images of Prima and Red Alert.

With Solus, we can see her alt mode as well which shows us that her giant hammer is made up of the front of her vehicle. And the alt mode for the aerialbots shows that Hasbronis going full cartoon accurate with the boxy proportions.

Let us know what you think.

Fantastic stuff. Especially the Aerialbots and Star Convoy.

Milking the SS Grimlock mould and not the others as yet. Strange.

Please don't hold me to this since the picture is so blurry, but I think Superion will have a skeleton mode like Menasor and that's what we're seeing now.

I'm sorry but $160 is still way too much for Star Convoy.

That does seem likely - the right leg looks to be a hollow frame since we can see the guy's arm through it, and the right arm is similarly pretty thin even though the black on it initially made me think it was Air Raid.

Left arm appears to be Slingshot and left leg is presumably Air Raid, which I believe are their most typical positions (and the ones listed on the wiki, which we know gets used as reference).

Silverbolt looks surprisingly squat on his own in that pic, almost like his legs are mistransformed (unlikely?), though it could just be the pose being hard to read through the blur.

Trying to work out what's behind Silverbolt on the table - could be extra Superion parts that aren't directly part of his jet mode?

Oh CRUD, they're still giving G2 Grimlock that horrible, horrible "Wheelie" mini-figure...?

TFW2005 have just posted three more pictures from the Cybertron Con display, including a non-blurry version of the Silverbolt/Superion pic!

Clear version of the Silverbolt/Superion shot - this confirms the "skeleton" structure:

So it clear that Silverbolt will have a huge jet mode…. It looks like the bot forms maybe half of the overall jet, maybe a bit more in terms of the length.

Man, overall I like the look of the combined mode…. But damn, buying another combiner the same year as Devy and the Contructicons??

A-ha, group shot of the wave 1 lineup. That gives us a size comparison for the smaller "Titan" Star Convoy. Also gives us a view of Star Convoy's base mode in the back:

The reveals are coming fast and loose. We finally have a good image of Commander class Silverbolt and what exactly is going on with him. As with Legacy Menasor, he is a voyager sized bot that cones with the frame for the combiner. It connects to Silverbolt in jet mode to make a very large jet and can be used as a turret accessory for the bot mode, as you can see below.

We also have more images of Star Convoy, including a hint at the G1 accurate base mode, along with a poster of all the Primes. We even have art of Centaur Onyx Prime thanks to @damnyouwillis on Blue Sky.

As cool as all the new reveals are ... I'm gonna stick to my guns and only get the stuff I really want.

Superion looks 100% better than the UW I already have. But I do already have that one. And if I replace him then I have to be on board to replace Menasor, Defensor, AND Bruticus. That's 20 guys. I held off on Menasor so I'll hold off on Superion too. Looks great. I guess that's one way to handle all that combiner bulk! Even if the end product is better I dunno. It's a mass of parts that don't do much outside the robot.

Having Super Megatron makes Star Convoy really tempting. I already have the G1 reissue. NGL, it's tempting. He comes with a tiny Hot Rod too? That almost cinches it.

The 13 are also tempting, but I want to be selective there too. Alpha Trion, surely. Liege Maximo probably. I'll probably pass on the rest.

Wasp. So the prophecies came true at last. I'll nab that guy. I feel way more connected to him than most of the 13, TBH.

Is that story book Wheelie? It looks like Wheelie done up in his colors from that picture book / his prototype colors. Kinda neat, but not enough for a buy.
