Images of Transformers: Age of the Primes Prima and Armada Red Alert

Posted by william-james88 Nov 21, 2024 at 8:28am CST 71,360 views
Via @CsbiaoO_, we now have images of the colour version of the Prima prototype we previously saw. Now we see that the chest does indeed open up to store a matrix. We also have a shot at the alt mode (kinda), which would be a cybertronian vehicle truck similar to Kup.

We also have an image of a test shot of Armada Red Alert, coming within the same line. Unlike what many fans feared, it is a fully new mold AND it has a minicon port, which can be spotted around the back of the vehicle.

We thank Glyph and Overcracker for letting us know of these images.

So Prima comes with the matrix from literally everywhere else,. an d transform into... what exactly?

A hover thing?

Interesting choice.

That coloring definitely seems to confirm that this will be Aligned Prima

Would be nice to get credit when you just copy a post like that, you know.

By the way, you've only copied my resized imgur thumbnails into the news post, not the full size originals on the click through.

I didn't have much time, so I did what I could. I'll write you a credit in the news post.

Prima got 6 wheels. So a space truck or something like Kup. But the front profile reminds me of BBM Soundwave hover-crab thingamajig.

There has to be a missing piece from the front of Prima's truck(ish) mode, right? What is there looks so unfinished like something is missing.

Looks like someone forgot to fold up the front bumper. You can see it on the underside of the vehicle mode.

It's instead folded out and connected to the windshield in this robot mode pic, when it was folded away on the yellow test shot:

Yeah, just a random futuristic alien vehicle.

Updated image shows the alt mode more. It's more like a rover, somewhat like Siege's Ironhide/Ratchet but wider & flatter. It's look coherent at least and I'm fine with it. The bot mode looks good, love its size & finger articulation.

But based on what's revealed so far of Prima & Megatronus, I do wish the AOTP Primes have more unique designs than these regular, angular shapes. Oh well, at least they pair well with Legacy Cybertron Vector Prime and TR Alpha Trion.

I wonder if it will/can be retooled into Sentinel Prime. Or would Sentinel need his own mold.

I really wish Hasbro will do the 13 right by each having their own molds. But being Cocks' Hasbro, I'm sure a few will be retooled, just wish it's not between the 13.

With Red Alert coming soon, this at least means we can have the Armada game trio until Smokescreen and the rest show up. (Btw Chris Cucks, if you're a true gamer then bring back the Armada game).

For someone who only cares about "shareholder values," and treat Hasbro as an IP farm, you KNOW it'll be endless DLCs, Microtransaction, Gotcha and Live Service reshell games/collabs from now on right?

I wouldn't bring my hopes up getting remasters/re-releases of WFC/FOC or Devastation, let alone Armada.

Hence why I jabbed Chris.

Via @CsbiaoO_, we have even more images of Prima, this time focusing on their alt mode. The view from the side shows us that it is more functional than some fans thought, with rolling wheels. It ends up being more along the lines of what we’d see from a Cybertronian Ironhide or Ratchet alt mode. The front of the truck appears to be mistransformed though with a panel for the bumper not properly lifted. But that’s just a guess.

Now that we have a better look at the altmode, let us know if you think it looks good or not.

Oh huh, didn't see those extra ones go up. That's.. certainly some kind of vehicle, for sure.

Doesn't look too bad in profile actually, the front-on shots were giving it a very generic fold-up look but I quite like the angle created by the arms. Might just be the lighting but I think it looks better in the profile shot from Nov 22 if you have that.

Not a terrible alt-mode, but not awesome either. Overall I dig it though. It'll be interesting to see what the final plastic & paint color choices are.

I'm not sure the front's mis-transformed, considering that the bumper & fog lights are painted. With 2 unpainted headlights visible too. The prominent hinges are unfortunate, but I have the idea of painting it blue and through the off-white windshield "frame" & roof so they look like racing stripes like Jazz/Bayverse Camaro Bee got.

Not what I wanted as Prima's alt mode, but I like it. It's an aggressive looking rover. And with an apparent 5mm hole and we don't know what the weapon accesory will look like, maybe it pegs into that hole and add a battering ram to it, like Legacy Infernac Magneous? That'll be even cooler.

I wasn't sold on the initial bot mode pics, it looked a hollow and cheap, but in these colors and seeing the alt mode, I like it. We'll see how it goes with the actual reveal, but so far I'm still on board with AOTP.
