I'm still both very curious and very scared with what they will do with Nexus.

Nexus is one of my 3 favorites of the 13, with Onyx and Micronus being the other 2, and they nailed those 2 already.

What makes me nervous is he is the Prime of combination. TFCC did good with him back in the day, but obviously he needs the modern combiner form. But if he is only a voyager, what are they going to do? He can't work with the current combiner teams. And Amalgamous kinda stole the idea of splitting apart into multiple alt modes, so if they go that route it kinda neuters his uniqueness.

And frankly, if he doesn't combine in some fashion that is unique, they wouldn't have done him right. The COP design is cool, and it is said it can separate into individual bots, but if that design is a voyager, I can't see it being more than a 2nd Amalgamous.

To be fair, there's nothing to suggest Amalgamous' multiple forms have distinct personalities. For all we know, Nexus' individual componants will be described as having those, or at least will have their own transformations.

I saw a theory that Nexus requires you to buy more than one to get the most out of him like Reflector which would be pretty crazy to do.

I wonder if he'll be able to combine with other figures in a different way, like there might be a secret combiner form built into other Primes that we haven't seen or noticed yet.

Also, side note, now that we're getting Animated Ratchet in this line they really have to make an Animated Lockdown out of the Chase mold. This needs to be a thing!

Maybe he's just a retooled Onslaught, and you use Onslaught's frame to combine him with Brawl, Vortex, and 2 Aerial bots? Technically, there is no A-10 Thunderbolt for the left leg, if we are to adhere to the TimeLines representation, but we do have Aerialbots we could use. Not sure if the arm Aerialbota can connect to Onslaught's frame though.

If they do make Lockdown, he needs to be his own mold. Likely a Voyager to get his height and his spare parts in there, including Ratchet's EMP generator.

In all honestly, they could just re-release the original with better wrist articulation.

Found Razorclaw at a walmart, he is pretty neat, I like the mold and the new colors are nice.



That same walmart was absolutely LOADED. There were 7 G2 Grimlocks (but no other leaders besides the 1 Razorclaw), 3 Red alert, 1 Alpha Trion, 1 Heatwave, 1 Sky byte, 11(!) Mixmaster, and 14(!!) Ironhide. The voyagers were also at the new $45 pricepoint, so it seems they are being rejected at the moment



With the acquisition of Razorclaw, I was able to take a photo of a bunch of friends here at Seibertron (even if I am not in the photo, no good figure to use for myself)



And finally, I discovered something about 3 of the Primes released to date, they work as an alternate Huntr/x

I toyhax'd Prima Prime, but I'm stuck at that faction symbol #37.

Where in the actual fox does this go? They stupidly zoomed in on the area and I just can't find it.

Help!

Pretty sure those are optional. I've scanned my Prima, looking for any detail that matches. Nothing. One video I looked at simply said they can be applied to any figure you'd like. They were still on the sheet.

Your best bet is to reach out to ToyHax.
