So..the Scepter of Primes in conjunction with the Halo of Primus is the Infinity Gauntlet?! More reasons to buy.

Pat. Pat Prime.

Uh, how about Simon at least. Simon Prime. We try to forget about Pat.

as in Pat Lee, if you missed my drift.

Ah yes. Pat is genderless though.

Pat Prime is actually Logos Prime, with power over space and time. In this case, it manifest as an eldritch ability to defy any logical proportions.

The crown comes off. You can see the optimal Optimus head in jet mode. He’s not sporting it

Ah, found it:



All 15 symbols.

Hooray!! They re-wrote history!!

Nice find @JelZe GoldRabbit!!

SDCC exclusive then. All right. I'll get that black ape. But MAN, will this thing be expensive. Especially if I have to buy this through HST.

Speaking of convention exclusives, anyone know if there will be some repaints of the deluxe PotP fembots? Because having only two suck big time for E1.

Kind of expecting a windblade at some point before they put this technology to bed, maybe arcee.

Just noticed this, but if you look at the sides of the throne you can see the faces of the other nominees from the Vote for a Prime thing that decided Primal.

So, any idea on what this version of Primal's name should be? are we going to stick with OpOp, call him just Optimus Primal, or something else? We can't call him Primal Prime, as he doesn't share the same colors.

Eh, I'm just going to call him Optimal Primal & pray to Primus (or in this case, Primal) that I can get him.

Only bumblebee, the cassette a weird Optimus Prime and this have been revealed. This ain’t botcon where they beat one mold to pure degradation in one year.

I don't really expect any Windblades or other fembots for SDCC or in PotP for the rest of the year. But I do think that Hasbro will keep sprinkling in combiner limbs in the new lines and as other exclusives in the future. So I think eventually Elita-1 will have a full fembot team, but it might just take a while.

Yes, this is what I'm expecting, something before the technology is revamped but not this year.

Kinda reminds me of upsidedown Fallen face But no, 15 is all we got.

Hey, you’re right! And if it transformed into spark mode, it wouldn’t be upside-down at all!

My best guess at this point is an oddly-drawn Prima, although that would mean he appears twice on the poster.

Can safely say that I have zero interest in either of the SDCC sets. And releasing the remaining Prime Masters as exclusives just means that the Prime Masters I have will stay in their Pretender shells and keep this little gimmick buried.

As a collector I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get what should be general releases so I simply refuse to shell out a good chunk of my weekly wage for it.

So yeah, well done Hasbro, you might get a bunch of fanboys wetting their pants over this and willing to sell a kidney for it, but I won't be one of them.

I hate the fact that I have to still double dip on green and red fembots just in case HasTak drop the ball.

Yeah I kinda understand what you mean but I personally really want the whole Primal Shabang. I want the thrown and the prime masters. I don’t care not having pretender shalls but after getting Trion and Alchemist a couple weeks ago my enjoyment of the prime master finally happened.

If there’s zero chance of retail release of the remaining ones and I’m gonna say this and I’m gonna be a hypocrite because I don’t support KOs and 3rd parties but yeah...someone KO the PMs and put them all in a affordable box set.

I feel like the Pretender shells shouldn't have been paired with the Prime Masters.

Ideally [sigh], they would have been released with Titans Return style figures based on their inner robot modes. Even half@$$ing it, Bludgeon could have been a decent recolor of TR Megatron, and his pretender shell could have housed his Titan Master while in tank mode, or become his weapon while in robot mode. If one's willing to stretch a bit (i.e., reinvent a bit), Bombburst could have been made from Mindwipe, Iguanus from Skullsmasher, etc.

Then the Power of the Primes line would have actually included all of the Primes, with the Prime Masters being their included relics. It wouldn't have been impossibly costly to do the Thirteen either. Optimus is always on the docket. PotP Alpha Trion could have been a recolor of TR Alpha Trion, PotP Vector Prime could have been a re-release of Cybertron Vector Prime with a cyberkey retooled to hold his Prime Master.

True but I don’t think you’re gonna convince anyone to buy a 13 year old mold of Vector prime now. No matter how you retool him he was a shelfwarner. I personally thought with power of the primes we were going to get the 13 in a deluxe, voyager and leader form but just didn’t happen. There plans though. The black shadow mold was considered for Prima and Megateonus and we saw designs for them

How about Joe Convoy?

Wait....if there are 15 symbols (that we may or may not get), are they suggesting there are 15 Primes?
I'm so confused.

Guys...the rest of the Prime Masters after Megatronus, Solus, and Quintus aren't seeing individual release, are they?

I am tempted to get this just for the staff.

How awesome would it be to put four Titan Master heads on that thing?
