Will could you have made the combined mode look any dorkier? Seriously would one interesting pose have killed you?

Do your own pictorial reviews, dude. Jesus.

I didn't say it was a bad review I said that there wasn't a single interesting picture of the figure. I feel like if someone is going to post a review of something they should showcase the figure. Especially if they feel said review is front page worthy. If I want to look at static poses of a figure I'll look up the stock photos.

There was definitely a nicer and more constructive way you could have said that.

They better re-release Combiner Wars sets again.
Bruticus is by far the best CW ever built (Except you, Jet-Molded Blast Off)

For CW, sure I guess we could say Bruticus was the best. But Unite Warriors Computron and Grand Galvatron are still better

Given the number of people who mixed and matched Computrons, not sure I can ssyvhe was "best." unless you are willing to lump both Computorns together. although Ibdo love the Takara figures a lot, but i defunately switched out Afterburner and used the Hasbro gun and hands and feet I dont get the love for Galvatronus. Breakdown is too small, and I dont love Roller half as much as I want to. For me, best combiner is Ruination/Baldigus. But some of that is nostalgia , RID was my first jumping on point.

Anyway, on topic. I have said this before, but Repugnus is a perfect example of how you can build an exsuit around a TitanMatlster and still have a modicum of posability. Sure the hip joint is a solid bar, but the legs MOVE. Why sare we stuck with these poseless bricks? I cant even repurpose their weapons, the pegs are too inser for most fists to hold.

I want a Titanmaster to shove in Overlord's chest. I think one of thrm will be Grimlock's matrix, but I need one more.

I'm actually happy Elita looks like she has a retooled chest. I am still really on the fence with her and Inferno, but I do want an Inferno, and the chest remold actually makes her look pretty good. And I gotta hunt down a Chromia to go with the team.

And with that release date for the wave 2 Prime masters, I'm thinking wave 2 will be where the line slows back down to where it is supposed to be. Can't wait to start seeing these guys

I will definately be getting Elita and Inferno. Elita because I dont expect msny figures to come out for her. Inferno, i have too many bots assigned to "Protectobots" status -using Hasbro Strafe and nNosecone as skyfeather and hHeatrock, and Rook and Mirage go well with the pair to complete "Rescue Force"- I could use another torso

Lamdmine is definitely a simple repaint and slight mold change with Metalhawk's head-fin. Whether I pick him up is all about the Core's "face" and power-up it provides....

His function is Mystical Scientist, but he's mostly about mixing liquids... like a bar tender *hint hint*

Landmine is Alpha Trion.

Whoops. Early morning can do that to you. Alpha Trion is the brains of the bunch, so any one linking to him becomes an everlasting know-it-all, like yoghurt.

Alchemist Prime isn't a very original name, is it? But that ability to build a mean cocktail can be crucial!

I think I already got Alpha Trion covered.

Knowledge is TRUE ULTIMATE POWER

[Jelze Bunnycat]

I think I already got Alpha Trion covered.

Funny thing: if we count Legends Alpha Trion (the one with Ultra Magnus) towards Combiner Wars as per the mold origins, every part of the Prime Wars Trilogy has an Alpha Trion somewhere

That's true! But I do prefer my Ultra Maggie's innerbot to be Minimus Ambus.

We need more Maximals for PotP

That's okay. Takara Legends Alpha Trion is instead that Ultra Magnus's Matrix of Leadership.

I like that -- Ultra M finally getting his due as leader.

It really makes me wonder how he could have looked as a Prime; is Optimal Optimus getting an altered look as a bearer of the Matrix? Or is having all 3 of Primal's looks enough?

[Evil Eye]

Intriguing. I might- MIGHT- spring for Elita-1, as the mold looks interesting. It just makes a terrible Starscream. Plus, even if she looks awful as Elita-1 I may repaint her partially into a full-sized Decepticon version of the old Linkage Mini-con Combusta.

[Agamemnon]

Yogurt? I hate yogurt! Even with strawberries!

I gotta say...if I had more self control, I'd skip the Voyagers so far. I'm liking nearly everything else I have seen so far. But, Will is doing a nice job of convincing me to not invest in Grimmy and Screamer...

[william-james88]

If I want to look at static poses of a figure I'll look up the stock photos.

Can you please provide us with stock photos of Starscream's Combined mode? We didnt have any to post yet.

I actually did: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... -g1/39500/

He's pretty awesome, and once again proves that the best came from UW and not CW

Currently working on more POTP news

[william-james88]

Friend to the site, Scottimus Prime, found the deluxes, primes masters and voyagers from Transformers Power of the Primes at a Lake Grove Toysrus in Long Island, New York. This is the first sighting for Voyagers Starscream and Grimlock at US brick and mortar retail as well as the first worldwide sighting for the Prime Masters at brick and mortar retail. The Wave 1 Prime Masters include Liege Maximo and Skullgrin Decoy Armor, Micronus and Cloudburst Decoy Armor, as well as Vector Prime and Metalhawk Decoy Armor. You can read more about all upcoming waves that we know of here.
Regarding the voyagers, we also have a pictorial review of Starscream for those who want to know more about the figure before purchasing. And there might be some hesitation because this news also showed us the price these voyagers are going for: $29.99 USD. This is the MSRP price jump indicated by Hasbro in their official product descriptions. The Prime Masters also show that price jump in comparison to Titan Masters, where they are $5.99 USD, so one dollar more. The Deluxes however, show a price of $16.99 which is less than the $19.99 MSRP. You can see all MSRPs per class here.

These toys are also listed on the Toysrus website but not currently available. We did place a screenshot below to show the prices of each class. These are the hottest toys right now among the fan community so please post your findings in the sightings section and sightings forum.

[Flashwave]

That 29.99 dorsnt actually scare me that much, TRU usually prices a few bucks higher than the others.

I've been blind for not noticing Grimlock's "Dinobot" prefix. Don't worry, it's a separate trademark, probably for consistency across the other Dinobots who do require prefixes. Think we can expect the same for the Terrorcons?

... and think unified subgroups are called out now?

Yeah, it looks like the team combiners are getting their subgroup names attached to their individual names, as the Terrorcons looks to have "Terrorcon" prefixes on them too.

[Terrsolpix]

Got grimlock and daaaaaaaamn he’s good. Very solid and has beefy ratchets. The gauntlets work worryingly well and give off a more savage vibe than a sharpened sword. The torso doesn’t fall apart unless you actively try and take him out of the mode. He’s gotten a fairly bad rap but but isn’t nearly as bad as some people claim he is imo.

How solid is the connection of his gold robot chest piece in dinomode?

But it remains to be seen if they're all separate trademarks or not. From official Hasbro use, only Sinnertwin seems to not require a prefix out of the Terrorcons, which is... ironic, with Prime Twinstrike

Where would be a good place to start... the Pretenders, the "Duocons", the Dinobots?

Including leaders? If you have a picture that would be front page news right away.

Sadly I didn't see any Leaders, But I guess I should've thought to take a Picture, I was too excited to actually FIND them available.
However all the Legends, Prime Masters, and Deluxes were there for certain. I was actually trying to see anything related to the Prime1 Studios Onslaught, sadly Nothing new has happened since It was teased.

TF fan Nevermore has informed us of several new listings on Amazon.com for Transformers Power of the Primes. Most of these are placeholder listings, especially for wave 3 toys. But for the wave 2 deluxes, we are treated to high resolution images we previously only saw with a watermark, along with the number of steps. The full listings available will be posted below. The real fun part of the remaining placeholder listings is that we get a confirmation of all the toys leaked earlier this year along with confirmation of their names. For instance, we now know for certain that we will get an "Outback" (to hell with you Steakhouse!) along with the following corrections nevermore pointed out:
- The Battletrap component included in Legends Class wave 2 is named "Battleslash", not "Battleclash" as some people mistakenly read from the Hasbro leak.
- Tailgate having the same Hasbro product code number as Roadtrap was an error. Roadtrap is really E1158, while Tailgate is actually E1159.
