The Revenge of the Fallen set is $10 more at Amazon than anywhere else. I'm sure they'll drop it later.

So, for the reveals:

Deluxe:

Skydive: nice jet mode, robot mode is pretty good too. He and the rest of his crew are headed to the Skybound shelf.

Firefly: nice jet, the robot is slightly jank, but same as above.

Venin: he looks cool, I am excited to have all 7 bugs together.

Micronus: I am in love with this one. The exosuit so he can be a minicon but still be a deluxe is wonderful and a great idea. And like they said on the stream, it may be a very valid way to start diving into actual Pretenders! Winner of the deluxes for me.

Voyager:

Alpha Trion: I had every intention on passing on him, TR is still the best A3 to me. But then when they said that all the artifacts will do something cool together once all 13 are united, that made him a need to grab. Dammit.

Flatline: This is an awesome figure, I love it! Flatline is one of those glupshittos that I personally adore, and him finally getting a figure, and a cool one at that, is very satisfying. He is right there with Micronus for hype level.

Leader:

Onyx: Can't say anything I haven't said before, this is my favorite Prime and the one I am most looking forward to, glad I can finally preorder him!

Exclusives:

G2 Dinobots: I sold off my G1 Slug and Snarl, so I am hoping the new G2 colors will make me appreciate them more, I hated both when I owned them before.

Sandstorm/Slugslinger: I am happy with both I have, so I can comfortably pass on them

For whatever reason, when I search, "Transformers Age of the Primes", NONE of these new listings show up.

Noteworthy details from the stream:

Complete Superion is shown off with all four Aerialbot limbs. Mark keeps using the term "Scramble City", saying "you could probably do some Scramble City with the Menasor model", which is a bit confusing since "Scramble City" refers to not just the ability to swap arms with arms and legs with legs, but mainly to the ability to swap arms and legs with each other (which I doubt Superion will be able to do since Menasor couldn't).

Mark considers Venin to be the "true leader" of the Insecticons, not Kickback.

Mark pointedly likens Micronus Prime's exosuit to a Pretender shell play pattern, as if to hint that this figure could be testing the waters for how to bring back proper Pretenders. He also mispronounces "Chimera" as "Chy-mera" rather than "Ky-mera". The exosuit is also built like a Weaponizer, so its limbs can detach to become weapons for other figures to wield. The suit's legs become the unicycle's wheel, and it actually does roll.

The Covenant of Primus that comes with Alpha Trion has actual turning pages with some Cybertronian text printed on them. Alpha Trion's altmode is based on a concept sketch for an altmode that was never used before.

Flatline has a new fist on his left wrist where Red Alert originally had only his arm tool.

When discussing Onyx Prime's Tryptich Mask spear, Mark says that all of the Primes' artifacts have a specific purpose for when all thirteen of the artifacts are brought together.

As expected, the Sandstorm Vs. Slugslinger two-pack is an Amazon exclusive. Nate calls him "Handsome Face Sandstorm". Mark is a fan of Battle Masks, so that's why they did the toy-accurate face first. Sandstorm's colors are more animation accurate. Mark says Slugslinger's colors are meant to be a midway between the cartoon colors from "The Rebirth" and the colors of the Takara version of the toy (presumably the Transformers Legends version that used colors based on The Headmasters cartoon).

When showing off the Selects G2 Dinobots 2-pack, they state outright that the next two G2 Dinobots are coming next year.

The Studio Series Decepticon pack is an Amazon exclusive.

No pipeline or space bridge reveals to close out the stream.

Alpha Trion and Micronus look pretty good (especially the latter). Deadline and Venin aren't too bad either.

News Credits: 101 · Tue Jun 10, 2025 2:44 pm

I'm exited for the Primes and the 4th bug. Plus, even though Armada Red Alert disappointed me, Flatline look pretty damn cool.

News Credits: 51 · Tue Jun 10, 2025 3:08 pm

Yes: Flatline (impressed by how different his alt mode deco is, head looks great, can't believe I didn't put together what those pegs on the windshields and ports on the guns are for until now), Venin (that's Venin alright, like that his weapons combine), Onyx Prime (discussed previously), Micronus (transforming Weaponizer mechsuit is awesome, love that he's still actually a Minicon, this is basically the only way they could do the Pretender gimmick that I would actually be on board for)
No: Aerialbots (boring designs, Fireflight would look better with a toy head), Alpha Trion (don't need an A3), G2 Dinobots (just not my thing), Sandstorm/Slugslinger (already got the faceplate Sandstorm I wanted)

Wait, when was Kickback ever the leader? I thought the leadership rotated between Venin, Shrapnel, and Bombshell depending on the media.

He might have gotten mixed up between Shrapnel and Kickback.

Just noticed Venom/Venin was given a cockpit window to match the other releases despite none of them having cockpits before. Great attention to detail. Can't wait to see how they reuse this mold, it's so specific to him in every way.

So were the Skydive and Fireflight available on Amazon and already sold out, or that they not activated yet? I suspect sold out, but I also know Amazon can get wonky with the entire wave going live in bits and spurts.

I was able to order them on Amazon.

Fireflight shows as available for me, but Skydive is unavailable. Pretty sure both were available when I posted the links.

Onyx Prime is great, already went on my rant about that one

I really really like Micronus Prime, that's just fun all around

A3 is cool but I'm happy with my Alpha Trion from the set with Orion Pax so I'll pass

Not interested in Superion so glad to pass on aerialbots

I like the face mask Sandstorm better so easy pass on that too

I initially planned on getting Venin but I don't think I like how this turned out. I typically don't care as much about hollow limbs but those forearms are pretty bad

Flatline.... looks pretty cool. But I don't really like the red alert mold. So I'm a little torn on that one.

Dinobots.... idk. I already have the tiger stripe grimlock. These 2 look cool. But then I'd want all 5. And that's expensive

Thanks, Amazon being Amazon again. Both were unavailable for me at the time I posted, and was just able to order them now.

I do wonder since Amazon receives full cases of single figures if they open pre-orders for a certain quantity, and then once that initial one sells out the put more into their order from Hasbro and open them up again. The would explain the wonkyness that we see at times.

On second reflection, this states Kickback as the leader:

This entire wave is a fail for me. Nothing looks good enough for what they will charge. Only the minion prime will be mine. Even 86 megs looks off. Like his head is too big or something.

Tue Jun 10, 2025 9:13 pm

I love love love Alpha Trion comes with a quill and book!! So neat. Im also glad to see they are trying new stuff in terms of how they look and not just rehashing recent desgins.

Also, Flatline? Amazing and i love how EVIL he looks :lol:

Very solid Decepticon concept there, almost makes we say ill pull the trigger on him

News Credits: 30 · Tue Jun 10, 2025 9:21 pm

I've pre-ordered Fireflight, Skydive, and Venom (Venin). Those were the only ones that I wanted from this lot. I'm hoping Venom's wings are detachable 5mm accessories so they can be moved. When it's in robot mode, I don't like the bug wings being tucked under the armpits. That's a holdover from G1, but it's just as much a mistake now as it was back then...

So it wasn't a lie, I got my Star Optimus Prime from Amazon today. The box is SMALL, not sure how they'll justify the price in stores since it's only a little bigger than a commander box, just a rectangle instead of a square. At least they dropped the price from traditional Titans. I'll open it later.

If you have any of the old Supreme class toys from the Unicron Trilogy, I'd appreciate any size comparison pics with Star OP. ;)^
