Which card? The Alpha Trion card uses "her", but the Micronus card uses "his".

Really? Well I did get the alpha trion card, but that's f'ing weird, now I'm confused... :???:

Probably not the first, if at all.

There's probably some other case in some obscure work out there.

Well, she's staying as a fembot in my head canon, maybe the sister of slash :-?

Thanks Wolfman! Honestly if I could, I would try to get 2 Ironhides and 2 Blades' and make an Artfire combiner. The red arms and legs around the white chest, and the Defensor head is fairly close to the Inferno/Artfire head too. But I love him as an individual. Like I said, I think he is the best voyager of the line, and I love him so much despite the hate I laid on him for being a mere repaint. But he is a better quality Hot Spot, who forms the torso of my favorite combiner, so maybe that plays a part too.

HTS came though! I love nearly next day free shipping with them.

So glad to have a full Volcanicus. He is pretty good, but I can't wait to get the upgrade kit to slap on him too. He looks so close, and like FoC Ruination, he just needs that little extra push. The giant sword is the main thing. He'll only be the 2nd upgrade kit I've ever gotten, but that's cause I love him and he needs his appearance proper.

I am also happy with Megascream. Blastoff will replace Rippersnapper, but I like how balanced he looks right now. I think the aerialbots had better limbs modes than the Dreadwing bros though, they are a bit weird as limbs.

Hmm... Amazon has removed all 3 special Prime Wars figures. Wonder if they're preparing for preorder & release? :???:

That Inferno looks pretty good D-Max!

They and Nemesis Prime have been doing this now and then over the past month or so. I'm not sure if it actually means anything at all.

Have a Volcanicus:

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Wed Jun 27, 2018 8:57 pm

I still can't bring myself to like Volcanicus. For me, it's just... weird... Because like the Optimus combiner and his friends from Combiner Wars, Those are NOT supposed to combine. :-B

To it, it feels like something they should always have been able to do, but much like FoC Grimlock's dinomode, it took development and incalculable rage before they finally could achieve their ultimate form.

Blame the original diaclone designs.

Also, I need my abominus limbs NAO!

By all accounts, Dinobots are the anomaly of the 'special teams' of Generation 1: five bots with a consistent team and a clear leader. And yet they did not combine.

Probably because of their diaclone origins, after all the combiners in diaclone had six members!

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Thu Jun 28, 2018 4:32 pm

The Dinobots predated the five-member subgroups who were combiners, so they got to be exempt from that later-set standard.

Polish Transformers fan and Seibertronian Boguc85 has sent us a sighting for the third wave of the Transformers: Power of the Primes toyline, now appearing in store in Poland - just as they're starting to appear in the US too - for around $34 USD each (!!!) at the time of writing. You can check out the image below, and let us know in the Sightings Database if you come across this or any other figures!

Hello, I have a Photo of deluxe class toys from wave 3 Power of the Primes in Poland. Toy shop is called Smyk, and it is in Warsaw, on Chmielna 25 Street. In Polish curency the price is 129,99 PLN. That about 34.21$.

In other Transformers: Power of the Primes news - or is that Prime Wars for this set - we now also have, in addition to the in-hand images we have reported on previously here, a video review of the recently officially surfaced Blast Off deluxe figure with Prime Master Megatronus, courtesy of chuckdawg1999. You can check it out below!

Well, color me surprised. I thought Hasbro would never release the Takara version of Blast Off in a more G1 shuttle design, but here we are experiencing a Blast Off that not only features a toy accurate paint scheme, but benefits from some mold tweaks introduced with UW Strafe. I'm really glad I picked up this mold again and if you've yet to experience shuttle Blast Off it's definitely worth a look.

cool news

We have some in hand images of the online retailer Amazon exclusive figure (globally) from the current Transformers: Power of the Primes toyline - as reported previously here - thanks to regular source of news on Facebook TFND and a production sample copy they acquired for a pictorial review of both Nemesis Prime and the smaller Nemesis Pax, plus sword bird Giza, and comparisons with the regular retail version of Optimus Prime / Orion Pax. Check it all out below!

Power of the prime Nemesis Prime sample review.
Days / judgment samples open.
Let's start with the conclusion: again, change and much are limited, but the price does not change, and when the treasure Buddha has no guidelines.
Before the news was stolen, there was a dream that there would be a black boss, but what I didn't dream about was that there was a change of head and accessories. Let me seriously say this is the real ginrai head! The big head is also quite a bit of a. Sign. Small heads have also changed, many more evil sense.
The overall color color is the black red purple green silver style that has always been nemesis, and it is not so obvious that a black little machine calf looks like a pack of backpacks.
Apart from the original big guns, there are two more swords and hands-on guns, and one can also turn from big swords into animals and birds, and big hearts.
Both models and robot weapons can be completely mounted on their body, without worrying about putting them in the closet.
As for sticker stickers, stealing plastic holes, these problems are no different from previous op, and friends who want to attack with the same moves may have to find new breakthroughs. The same move against the official is useless.
If you accidentally see it in the shop head, please low-profile buy and play. After all, this is an electric qualification outside abroad, and it might be difficult to buy it in local places, too too much to make it easy for electric traders to turn off

Due to limited space, I now avoid special repaints like that Nemesis Prime. Especially if I already have the original.

Still, that Nemesis ils DAMN tempting.
