WARNING, THIS THREAD COULD BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ THE IDW SPOTLIGHT-OPTIMUS PRIME ONE SHOT COMIC

Alright, I dont know if this will happen, but I sooooooo want molds for Nova Prime and Sentinel Prime.

Not titaniums either, Classics treatment all the way.

There has GOT to be a way to make this happen, Don Fig has already worked out the designs for bot and alt modes, and while hasbro is at it, make Monstructor as well.

I know this is wishful thinking, but I cant be the only one who wants these amazing designs realized in a mold.

DO IT Takaratomy! DO IT HASBRO!

Over 60 views an noone has any thoughts on making these characters into molds?

I cant be the only one who read the IDW spotlight on Prime.

hello? *echo*

unfortunatly ive not seen the spotlight issue yet.
Checked comic book stores near me today but i live in the uk so i wasnt too hopefull of finding it.

any piccys or discriptions of the characters to give the people who havent read it an oppertunity to see what your talking about?

I'm not a big comic buyer, too much of a hassle for the price, but I would love to see pics.

couldnt find anything online, and I dont want to break the spine of the comic to scan it.

Maybe someone from the board will submit a pic.

Sorry guys.

I havn't read the comic jet so I don't know what they look like, but I would love a MP IDW Prime, ore any toy based of him!

This is the only picture I know of...



And yes, they do need the classics treatment. They are fifty ways of awesome!

If Nova Prime is the orange guy, i'd be thrilled to see him as a new mold(heck, he might be the next Sunstorm!). Is Sentinel Prime the White one?

Other way around. Those Primes are in order. Nova Prime was before Sentinel Prime was before Optimus Prime.

Thanks. Any idea what Alt modes they have?

The Titanium Line would have been perfect for these kinds of figures, but alas the Titanium line is no.

I heard Nova was a multi-changer, can anyone whose read the comic tell me what his and Sentinel's modes are?

There are bonus sketches at the back that show off the Transformations.

Nova Prime transforms into a sort of Cybertronian long-nosed semi reminiscent of a blend of Energon Rodimus and Transtech Prime, though the trailer is similar to the back half of Cybertron Optimus - it's fixed in place.

He has two bot modes, a small one made of the cab with his trailer becoming an artillery base, and a combined form that design wise reminds me of Energon Rodimus's powerlinx design. Essentially, the primary robot becomes the lower half of the super-mode, and the trailer becomes the upper half. The sides of the trailer become his wings.

Sentinel Prime's transformation is much simpler, more like Cybertron Prime's transformation without the trailer. In vehicle mode it's kind of ugly. It reminds me a little bit of that really big GI Joe truck (Rolling Thunder I think?) but not as cool.

Then I don't think I'd want a titanium of Nova,
Because with Super Fire Convoy and G1 Ultra Magnus, they have them transform directly into their combined forms.
I don't really like that.

Although it's more ok with Magnus.

I'm allowed to do this, right?

Haha, from what he looks like and where he is, I'd say he looks like something out of Gundam Wing.

He does look pretty awesome.

Yes, as I mentioned in the Prime Spotlight thread, I really would like to see a toy of Nova Prime. Heck, I think Don't designs deserve there own TF line, like the McQuarrie Concept Star Wars figures, I want Figueroa design Transformers.

And yes, I know we already have some that Don has designed, but that can't stop me from wanting more, can it?

I have been clammering for a Damn Sentinel Prime for years!!! that design kicks ass, and so does the one on http://www.iaconcity.com website!! either of those two are awesome, and it appears to be a census that Sentinel Prime should look Roman-esque!! which I personally find very appealing, and intriguing, because his toy would give us a sense of a roman type setting on Cybertron, kind of a golden age if you will..

I think that Megaron's master should have been defeated by Sentinel prime and should be introduced in the IDW comics as a new villain who precedes Megatron, but fell to Sentinel prime.. that would make for a cool character that could be used as a foe for a Sentinel prime toy!!! And a GOOD REASON FOR MEGATRON TO SEEK UTTER REVENGE..

I imagine Animated's going to fill the Sentinel Prime void nicely enough.

I sooooooo Hope your right...

Has he been announced as a character?

I'm not sure if he has or not, I know Magnus has.

But wikipedia says he's in, and the current leader of the autobots. Not sure who put that on wikipedia though.

It would be cool to finally get a Sentinel Prime toy.

If that happens in Animated great, but I'm still very much in support of a 'Don Designs' line.

See the thing about Megatron with the new ORIGINS, he is really the starter of the whole Decepticon problem being organized. Apparently, there are problems--similar to our society--thiefs-violent folks-uncouth politicians-etc., there's a caste system so the lines between the good and the bad, were not really existant before Megatron came along as far as Decepticon vs. Autobot...

You should listen to the Eric Holmes podcast for details on Megatron Origins if you have not read it...

A Don Fig designs line would be a collectors dream. No titanium though, has to be in the vein of classics or cybertron molds. Really solid plastic with light piping, no gimmicks just great designs

The white guy looks cool.

Any pictures of their alt modes?
