Not bad. But the CG version rules.

Mainline toys look bad.

Alpha Trion is a Unicorn wolf thing, and his head has definite Death's head vibes for some reason.

Of note, he can brandish his unicorn horn as some kind of hand held weapon/sex-toy.

Not judging alien robot's personal amusement choices here.

While I said I liked Prime and ordered it I can't help but feel something seems off. The hollow forearms just look cheap. This reminds me of the Rise of Cobra toy line that felt like a step back from the 25th era of GI Joe due to the lack of holsters. Also, I think there's some way to use the lasers from vehicle mode in robot mode.

It's the same unicron lion alt mode he had in Titans Return.

The Bumblebee mask is, I'm pretty sure, just the previous movie mask.

That Prime mask is definitely an unused one from ROTB, the face plate design is the same as from the movie.

So is TF:One Megatron based on the concept art Megatron toy from studio series or vice versa?

[Sabrblade]

So is TF:One Megatron based on the concept art Megatron toy from studio series or vice versa?

Neither. That toy is based on a concept design that was created for a scene deleted from the Bumblebee movie, in which Megatron would have appeared with that design while in the custody of Sector Seven, frozen inside Hoover Dam.

But how? Wasn't the form he had in the 07 movie supposedly his Cybertronian form? And if he was frozen all that time he couldn't have changed.

The difference in Megatron's design is probably why the scene was cut. After all, they were G1-ing lotsa characters' designs in that movie.

But, if we want to think up a rationale, we could imagine that he arrived on Earth in his BB concept design body (which is also a Cybertronian design, not an Earth one), and that Sector Seven stripped his body of its outer panel components when they reverse-engineered technology from him, leaving him naked and resembling his 07 movie design. We could then say that the flashbacks seen in the first movie that showed him in his 07 movie design when Archibald Witwicky found him were simply retconned.

The directors of these films stated that Paramount does not care about establishing continuity among the films. It's basically a free for all and it doesn't matter if it makes no sense.

For those unaware, the Transformers One Toyline will also be split between Studio Series and its own main line and we can see how the toys differ between the lines since we have images of Optimus Prime from both lines. Interestingly enough, due to the deco, several fans are preferring the mainline deluxe version (called Prime Changers) than the Studio Series deluxe. The mainline deluxe is also $5 cheaper. You can see them below. We also see Alpha Trion who has a very similar deco to Botcon's Alpha Trizer, which itself was based on the cancelled Botcon Alpha Trion, making this toy come full circle. You can compare this deluxe to the original cancelled Botcon Alpha Trion deluxe as well.

The Studio Series toy is already available for preorder at collectible online retailers, like Entertainment Earth for instance https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... me/hsg0221

I love that the main line Orion Pax can hide his arms better than the Studio Series version.

[Perceptor1996]

So do both Primes have a blast effect peg on the top of the axe & does that mean it's also a gun?

[ThunderThruster]

I love that the main line Orion Pax can hide his arms better than the Studio Series version.

The fact that it actually folds his hands away is a plus.

[Sabrblade]

Why is MPM Brawl here in the TF One toy thread?

[First-Aid]

Are you gonna argue with him? Dude looks badass...

[bluecatcinema]

Gotta say, I prefer the mainline Orion/Optimus.

[-Kanrabat-]

Well that Optimus look nice, but the SS look nicer. As for Alpha Trion, he's fine.

[Emerje]

He'll probably be able to fire blasts out of it. What's strange is the SS figure treats it like a normal energy axe that covers his whole hand, but the main line figure has it apparently projecting from his palm complete with painted finger details (that I'll be very impressed if they paint on the final figure).

Quick video review of SS-112 TFOne Prime.

Seems the yellow tan plastic is not quite as as yellowey tan in reality. Transformation is very interesting,

[-Kanrabat-]

Thank God for the subtitles!

Seriously, this Optimus look fun.

[Quantum Surge]

I don't have interest in this movie but I'd get the SS Deluxe Optimus and Prime Changers Alpha Trion

[Stormshot_Prime]

It might be nothing, just me looking too much into it, but man does Alpha Trion’s head sure look like Unicron’s.

[Sabrblade]

It might be nothing, just me looking too much into it, but man does Alpha Trion’s head sure look like Unicron’s.

In the trailer, I thought he looked like Galvatron.

While Hasbro has released some press info stating that plastic windows are coming back to their action figure lines, they are not coming to the Transformers line this year. We have an image of the upcoming Transformers One toys in their packaging and they all have open windows, as we've had for the Rise of the Beasts toyline. If you are wondering when the plastic windows would come back, it would be in 2025.

We know this from an answer given by Ben MacCrae of Hasbro, who confirmed this to the crowd at Wondercon. We have a video below showing you this, you can go wo the 40 minute mark. He says this is for the Studio Series line, so it is unknown if all Transformers lines will be getting plastic windows back next year.

Speaking of videos, we also have a video of the transformation for the upcoming Studio Series Transformers One Optimus Prime. We thank Overcracker for letting us know of it.

Ok, call me crazy but I have a theory. From the trailer we know that the characters under go a physical change when they get their T-Cogs,they get their alt-mode kibble. Parts on Orion Pax match up with parts on the Optimus Prime toys we've seen. Now we know that Pax doesn't become Prime until he gets the Matrix so I think all the toys will use the Optimus Prime name since only we few, we noble few, know who Orion Pax is.
