I know I'm in the minority, but I wanted him to be a standard Decepticon.

SG just effs up my shelves so much. He is TECHNICALLY an Autobot, so he will be displayed with the Autobots. Which means no Leader-Class Decepticons.

Effing. Awesome.

If you want to be technical Hero Mashers Heatwave is.

TECHNICALLY Rodimus Unicronus is not an Autobot, nor is he SG Rodimus. According to hasbro, the bio of this figure is Rodimus Prime becoming corrupted by Unicron using (DEAD? Evil? Something) Matrix that comes with this figure and it turns him fully fledged evil herald of unicron uber powered Decepticon Galvatron mark 2.0 type thing dealy. So.... yeah. You can put him on the Decepticon shelf. It's just his visual appearance is blatantly the SG Rodimus.

i don't understand dreadwind's wings. they do look detached in package and his alt mode is identical to skydive's. however, in previous photos, his wings are more rearward like dirge's. also, any guesses on who the remaining limbs are? my CW cylclonus wants to know. jazz would make a good crasher.

Rodimus Unicronus will be going on my Transformers 1986 movie shelf and be a stand in for Unicron!

You could always have a "Heralds of Unicron" shelf.

I'm sure TF Wiki could give you a better list but, uhm...

Sideways, Ghost Starscream, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, Sweeps, Cyclonus' Armada (which has named members in Combiner Force along with named Sweeps), pretty much all of the Japanese Galvatron limbs, and now Rodimus as the new general. Hook, Line, and Sinker if they ever get toys. Oh, and Nova Prime.

Considering how:
1) The Matrix in current lore is directly connected to Primus, if not a part of him.
2) That Rodimus has some kind of 'Dark Matrix' (I mean, its jet black so it must be EEEVIILL!!)
You could very well argue that a Unicron-corrupted Prime(?) with some sort of Anti-Matrix may very well be seen as some kind of living 'Avatar of Unicron'. We don't know yet if Rodimus Unicronus will ever get used or even what his background is and it may very well be limited just to his box. That said, that face does look more Unicron's mustache than the Evil Spock-esque goatee of SG Rodimus, so you may very well be correct that 'Rodimus Unicronus' is indeed some form of stand-in for Unicron.

Perhaps poor Hot Rod has been turned into Unicron's puppet like Aligned Megatron? Who knows! For all we know his only existence may forever be relegated to the micro-continuity of his box.

Dreadwind's main wings are on newly-tooled hinges that allow them to swing back to the legs for Robot Mode, as well as his combined mode with BlackwingDarkwing. Quite nifty.
And as far we know there are no designated teams for each limb this time around, the packaging doesn't specifically call them out. In terms of Combiners, only the Dinobots and Terrorcons form complete teams with Volcanicus and Abominus, with the rest being stand-alone for the time being.

Hook, Line, and Sinker did technically get toys. They came with the TFCC Astrotrain.

I mean....Predaking isn't a titan...Scorponok is however, and they can make two out of scorponok: scorponok 1 will be traditional purple, green, orange, and the second one will be Devil Z Blackzarak, where he will be black and gold with a different red head. As for an autobot Titan, we can only hope and pray that will be Omega Supreme. I for one will be waiting for the blackzarak as I have a G1 Scorp

If Darkwing has a limb mode, he and Dreadwind may also double as limbs for Battle Core Optimus Prime with stickers and some paint Combiner War Nova Prime, a character and figure I originally did not intend to display in its combined form due to a lack of spare limbs. Still gotta figure who might be his other two limbs...

I got em all in Miami !!!

I hate to tell you bud...but this new Predaking IS a Titan! who knows if he'll also get a repaint as Dark Predaking

I actually already employ Novacus Maximus with CW Offroad, CW Xtinguisher (Wheeljack + toyhax set), CW Smolder (CW Ironhide + toyhax set) and CW the Fallen (Trailbreaker + toyhax set). But the 2 decepticon jets will likely displace Offroad and 1 of the other 3.

Woops! I see now, but at least I can dream of supreme.

After the initial images we saw with the first news reports of Transformers Power of the Primes figures hitting US retail about a month earlier than expected - as covered here - we have some more in-hand images of the two Dinobots, Slug and Swoop (via Instagram users Faceless Master and Runningwithtoys), plus more of the Decepticon jet Dreadwind (from Instagram user frenmocs)! With Jazz already covered in this news story here, we have the entirety of the wave 1 of deluxes from this new toyline - so take a look at the images below, and let us know what you think of what you've seen so far!

If you come across these or any other figure, please make sure to use our regional Sighting Forums, and the global Sightings Database, now fully updated for Power of the Primes too.

GET HYPE!!!!

Whats this? a standard retail Shattered Glass release? HELL TO THE FECKING YEAH!

Hate the breast plate.

Love the limb modes on the dinobots.

The Dinobots do look damn good as limbs....self-control....is....slipping.....may...have...to buy ALL

Okay, shoot me for asking, but the ever livin' heck do those chest pieces tab on? It's eating me up inside not being able to figure it out. Also, those figures have peg holes like I hoped!

The center panel on the combiner peg has a part that flips down to reveal a 5mm port.

These breastplates may be somewhat chunky and derpy-looking but, man, do I hope to see someone make Powermasters for Dreadwind and Darkwing on shapeways.

I'll wait to see what Takara does, hopefully they won't cheap out on the Dinobot weapons.
