TFW05 member Sioce posted a very interesting image of what appears to be a Powermaster upgrade for Animated Optimus Prime. The image reveals a silhouette that matches the concept art for Animated Powermaster Optimus Prime seen in the Allspark Almanac, and bears the title "Firemaster" with the message "Keep Animation Alive". See the his mirrored image below, and click here for the original article.

I'm all over this.

I was just looking over the Allspark Almanac today, and was sad those designs never got used.

Now they might!

ANIMATED ADD-ONS?
I'M IN!
STOP TEASING AND JUST TAKE MY MONEY!!!

It better look like this:



It would also be cool for it to be compatible with the Sentinel Prime figure to give us this:

That's his new Magnus hat. He got it after being appointed the rank after season 3.

The original idea for this armor was that Sentinel "Magnus" had gotten the old Project: Omega group back together to build him this armor. But, before he'd get to wear it, Optimus would wind up "borrowing" it instead, taking it with him back to Earth fight against the newly-escaped Megatron.

There's only one set of armor, though.

In the second Allspark Almanac, they laid out their plans for the cancelled fourth season. This plot point was among them.

Hopefully, we end up getting a Season 4 comic.

Powermaster Animated Prime? Never seen the designs for him. Anyone mind pointing me to the direction?

Never aired as an episode. It was in the AllSpark Almanac, which is basically a book about Animated designs and plans that never came to existence.

Get BOTH. AllSpark Almanac and AllSpark Almanac II. The second one has all the season 4 stuff, but the first has stuff for the first two seasons that you can't find anywhere else.

As for the legitimacy of my claim, I quote page 185 of the AllSpark Almanac II book:

In-universe, the Powermaster upgrade would have been the brain child of Sentinel Prime. The old team behind Project Omega, including Ratchet, would be tasked with building an upgrade for he acting Magnus. In the aftermath of Megatron's prison break, it would be "borrowed" by Otimus. If possible, the armor would have been compatible with the Sentinel Prime toy.

Pretty cool didn't they make a prime like this?
Also why make this didn't prime try to fly this and he crashed pretty fast? oh ps 80,s is way better then animated,animated is cheap anime.
The toys were great though

this thing looks interesting.

Even though I won't buy it. I'm still fascinated to see more pics.

Which Animated Optimus will this add on be for Voyager or Deluxe? I'm assuming Voyager.

it might be able to add-on/fit on to both the deluxe & voyager. as hasbro was going to put the wings stuff on the deluxe & takara put it on the voyager.
