So does this mean inferno isn't happening? What about project storm? Seems odd to leave those things out and save them for SDCC when they'll most likely be focusing on War for Cybertron.

Whoa there, slow down those pessimistic thoughts!

First of, Inferno is still happening in Wave 3, (early) Summer. Secondly, we still have a Wave or 2 in all Classes that's unknown to us (the possible Wave 5 would be a tight squeeze, unless the WFC Trilogy is scooted up a Wave or if's released side-by-side. We can hope!). Finally, we haven't even hit Spring, let alone the half-year mark.

Project Storm is nothing more but the Authentics, as explained before.

*brings out more tissues after the images*

War for Cybertron starts in January of 2019, there are typically 4 waves in a year and Novastar is the only new figure in wave 4 as shown in the original leaks. There's no reason to believe that any new figures have yet to be revealed for potp besides exclusives.

I am soo ready for Optimal Optimus. Too bad they skipped the gorilla truck mode, some wheels and all you have to do is fold up the wings, but oh well. Still looks great.

I love how he looks!



This one.... Not so much tbh:

Wave 4 of the Deluxes, but the other Classes only had 3 leaked.

Which could just mean that there are no other classes in wave 4. Much like wave 6 of Titans return.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Some more pics I recently saw passing on FB:

Ah lol, oops. Thanks!

My main negative is that they dont change anything about his forearms between modes. The gorilla mode and Robot mode already share everything in the lower body so I would hope for at least some kind of change in the arms, like the original toy has. but no. So basically, just the chest and head change between two modes.

He's mistransformed. On closeup you can see attachement points on and for the arm shields. Also on the gray models we got some month ago we can see the arm shiels monted on shoulders oon robot mode.



He's mistransformed on all his forms in fact. The legs of the gorilla are supposed to retract, and not sitting like an old He-Man figure.



Same for the backpack head, too hard to rotate at the show ?





(Yes, I'm the guy who love and will defend this toy whathever happens).

The original leaks only showed us Wave 4 for deluxes. We didnt see wave 4 for the other classes so we do not know if the waves of other classes will have new figures or just be repacks.

Thanks for all the info. I especially like the bit about the retractable legs, that means all his limbs need some form of change from one mode to the next, and that does make it a plus over the original.

it's one of the many many pictures in this FB album.

Hope it works. Feast your eyes

It's a shame PotP is ending so soon. Guess if I want more combiners, I'll try to get some of the other boxset (G2 Superion, G2 Bruticus and Computron) if I'm not going to have to check the budget for waves 5-6. Or even 4 if it's mostly repacks.

ok.. this is pretty damn disappointing though:







the upper legs and hips are simply hung off their backs!!!

THIS is why the preadcons (and ergo Pradaking) should NEVER have been used as a Titan class figure.

Loving that G1 config of Abominus.

I don't understand why they didn't use the Preds as regular combiners and make the Dinobots as the Titan class figure, tbh.

Wish I had my phone on me, but I spotted prime masters for wave 2 at Target in MI today. Also picked up some of wave 2 deluxes and prime from Wal-Mart when I went no kids dinner shopping, had the phone that timw.

Congrats ACES. I've been looking for those around the Canton/Livonia area of MI. No luck on anything but Rodimus Unicronus.

I'm super curious to see the back side of Optimal Optimus. I still can't quite wrap my head around how the black robot fits into the orange robot (and orange monkey backpack).

I just realized something. With the currently officially revealed products for PotP, along with CW, we have 52 different Scramble style bots. A perfect multiple of 4. If Blast Off and Repugnus are released in May that offsets it again. Darn it. Want the characters but would love it if I could have set teams. Heres hoping there are 2 more deluxes yet to come.

Also, i really hope we see a couple boxsets too (Seacons somehow, and Dinoking/Monstructor somehow)

I think we're ALL getting a little ahead of ourselves. To my knowledge, no official source has ever said that Wave 4 will be the last of the Power of the Primes. In fact, I would say that there is no reason to believe that Novastar is the only Wave 4 figure.

We KNOW that we have to get ALL of the Prime Masters, right? Even IF Onyx ONLY comes with Predaking, (which would be unfortunate, but I can NOW see that happening) that STILL leaves four more Prime Masters. That leaves AT LEAST one more wave of Prime Masters.

Given that everything that is "officially" revealed was in that Big Leak (which didn't specify waves for Deluxes) I think they're just playing catch-up. Hasbro tries to reveal-things-without-revealing-things all the time. But, given the fallout after the PotP leak, they clearly did not intend for this leak to happen.

I think there is still a decent amount of PotPs ahead of us. Not ENOUGH, mind you... I think it probably will fizzle out the same way that Titans Return did... :/

I HAD a theory that between exclusives and box sets, we would get special editions of all Prime Masters (the likes of Blast Off) without Pretender Shells. Less confident about that, now.

But, I could be wrong. I just think we should all chill out for a sec.

So, been playing with Moony, her backpack is still there, of course. But it makes her leg mode pretty cool looking, arm mode is kind of so-so. Maybe I am not doing it right, I may have tossed the directions because I can't find them. Alt mode is...Well, she reminded me of the sausages I was eating, long and thin. Robot mode is ok over all, even with the back pack. My over all verdict, if you wanted her to begin with, find her, you'll enjoy. If you are on the fence, perhaps hold off for a better review than mine.
Ripper snapper though, awesome remold of darkwing seemingly. In robot mode his tail tucks away and becomes heel spurs. The faux rubsign on his alt mode head is actually pretty cool in person. Limb modes were fun and easy, and I can't wait to find Hun-Grr to pair up with him. Alt mode was everything I dreamed of when I heard Abominus was coming, a hunched over.shark monster. A very good update on a figure I owned and loved. Only thing to try and.watch out for, my R.S. has some mold flash on the shoulders and a spot of red paint on his elbows ball joint. It maybe hard to catch as it's the back of my shoulders, and maybe a poor QC issue that won't really crop up too often.
