Hey Seibertronians -- remember those jaw-dropping reveals from Cybertron Con and Hasbro’s 1027 event? Well, it’s almost time to clear some shelf space, because the next wave of Transformers figures is rolling out this spring and it is stacked with fan-favorites, deep lore cuts, and Constructicon goodness!

Whether you're building your personal pantheon of Primes or just hyped to finally finish Devastator (with screen-accurate Scrapper, no less), this wave is pure fire.

Let’s break it down Prime-by-Prime, bot-by-bot.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF THE PRIMES DELUXE CLASS THE THIRTEEN SOLUS PRIME
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $24.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, and other participating retailers.

She's the myth. The legend. The creator. Solus Prime forges her way into the Deluxe Class with a hammer that would make Mjolnir blush. Converts to a Cybertronian armored car in 28 satisfying steps and brings serious Prime energy to your display. Bonus points for finally adding more powerful women to your shelf.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF THE PRIMES LEADER CLASS THE THIRTEEN MEGATRONUS THE FALLEN
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $54.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, and other participating retailers.

This dude is pure chaos. Megatronus, a.k.a. The Fallen, is here in glorious Leader Class scale -- because when you’re the edgiest of the Thirteen, you don’t show up small. Converts into a tank (of course) in 38 steps and comes ready for battle with a requiem blaster, staff mace, and more accessories than most third-party upgrades. Dark lore? Check. Shelf presence? Double check.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF THE PRIMES VOYAGER CLASS THE THIRTEEN PRIMA PRIME
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $34.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, and other participating retailers.

The original. The noble one. Prima Prime is rocking Voyager Class glory and comes with the Star Saber AND the Matrix of Leadership. That’s right -- he’s bringing the artifacts and the attitude. Converts into a Cybertronian truck in 20 steps and has that stoic leader energy you can feel through the packaging. Absolutely Prime-tier.

TRANSFORMERS STUDIO SERIES DELUXE CLASS TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE BONECRUSHER
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $24.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, and other participating retailers.

Bonecrusher hates everything… except being screen-accurate! This guy’s finally getting his Deluxe Class due in Studio Series with full Transformers: The Movie vibes. Converts into a bulldozer in 16 steps and is your first Constructicon stepping stone to the long-awaited Devastator combo. He’s angry. He’s poseable. He’s perfect.

TRANSFORMERS STUDIO SERIES VOYAGER CLASS TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE CONSTRUCTICON SCRAPPER
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $34.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, and other participating retailers.

The Devastator dream is alive and well, folks. Scrapper is finally joining the Studio Series team in Voyager Class size. Front-end loader alt mode? Check. Movie-style detail? You know it. Combine him with the rest of the crew (sold separately, obviously) to finish the ultimate movie Devastator. For fans who’ve waited years -- this one’s for you.

TRANSFORMERS STUDIO SERIES LEADER CLASS TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION OPTIMUS PRIME
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $54.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, and other participating retailers.

Knight mode engaged! This is the Age of Extinction version of Optimus Prime fans have been waiting for. Leader Class scale. Converts into a Western Star truck in 44 detailed steps. Comes with his signature sword and shield -- and even a swappable head! If you ever yelled “Give me your face” at your toys as a kid… well, he’s back and ready to rumble.

Final Thoughts, Seibertronians:
This isn’t just a wave -- it’s a full-on celebration of TRANSFORMERS across generations. Whether you're collecting the Primes, hunting down every Studio Series Constructicon, or just grabbing your favorite movie bots, this Spring is about to be lit. What are you most hyped for? Sound off in the forums and show us your Prime picks!

Why is that article sounding as if we hadn't been seeing these figures popping up in stores for at least 3 weeks already?

Because it depends on where you are and how well things get stocked or sold out.

Is Amazon because the email I got was a "If you still want this item, please confirm below" email and they gave me an entire month to decide if I wanted to wait or cancel.

So far, I have found Prima, Red Alert, and Wasp. Still looking for Solus, G2 Grimlock, and Megatronus.

Prima is much more interesting in hand than in photos, though his alt mode is pretty boring. But as a robot, he rules. I also love that he can actually draw the star saber from his back.

Red Alert is nice and dense, and I appreciate the updates they made so his alt mode is closed up in the back and his legs are better, though I feel some loss with the big gap in gimmicks.

Wasp is pretty neat, I like this mold, and in these colors it is really nice

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised how much of that leaked lineup appeals to me, the only bots there I'm guaranteed passing on are Quintus and Powerglide. Every other figure there is either a guaranteed pickup or a wait-and-see.

Also, just like the Studio Series listings, there's a few open slots still:

aotp year 2 holes.jpg

Once again, the grey spots are spots that aren't guaranteed to be a missing figure, since we do get waves with only 3 Deluxes from time to time, and this also isn't accounting for any potential triple Voyager waves like the current Sentinel-Ironhide-Scrapper wave since there's zero guarantee that'll actually happen again.

We're supposed to be getting Seaspray this year as a Walmart exclusive in another wave of the same capsule as Retro Bee and Gears.

Big Grim wrote:No Aerialbots? So we'll have Bruticus and Superion missing two limbs each?

The last two Aerialbots are Wave 3 this year, and Vortex is actively up for preorder right now.

Everyone wrote:Swindle?

Yeah the Swindle thing is weird, since he was originally leaked as a Deluxe before getting pushed back to "a later wave" in favor of Vortex, and now his fellow leg is a Voyager....maybe the promotion from Deluxe to Voyager is why he got pushed back?

The listing already says it's Prime CJ, so it's either a rerelease of the one from the Legacy 4-pack or possibly a Terrorcon repaint? I'm personally just hoping it's a straight rerelease.

Wouldn't it be this guy?

Yup.

But it would most likely be part of a 2 pack or a 3 pack, exclusive to Amazon or whatnot. I wonder who his box partner(s) would be?

They could do like the did with the Puffer/Road Ranger two pack, and give two versions of the same mold. Bad Boy and Viper.

Oh yeah, Viper. I can see that happening.

There were also 3 more Gobot-Minibot repaints that were only in the FunPub Timelines materials that we'll soon have all the molds for if they wanted to do another big multipack: Buggyman from Beachcomber, Rest-Q from Hubcap, and Man-O-War from Seaspray.

Not gonna lie though, Viper is like the only thing I care about getting from any given Powerglide mold, Bad Boy's a skip for me if he ain't in a multipack.

Something to keep in mind about Brawl being a Voyager is that when he's a leg he basically folds in half (or maybe a third?) so He can be a large tank but still the same height as Swindle when both are legs. Likewise as a bot the whole front of the tank becomes his chest so he can still be roughly the same size as the others in bot mode and still be a good sized tank. Granted, the Swindle toy also folds the front down, but the cartoon model doesn't.

I'm thinking the leg frames will be similar to the other two combiners and Swindle will just pop into the back in full Jeep mode and close a door leaving the tires exposed out the back (like a backwards Menasor leg), but Brawl will fill in the gap himself without a door since his turret needs to stick out the front.

Swindle will probably be the missing figure in wave 2 and I think we'll see Vortex return in wave 3. Maybe they can do a PR of Breakdown in wave 3, too since the design team keeps complaining about his scarcity but not actually doing anything about it.

Side note. Anyone else hoping the unlabeled Smokescreen is the TFPrime character? That'd open us to Aligned Prowl and Barricade as well.

Huh. Musta missed the announcement showing the last two Aerialbots. Never noticed Blast-Offs name in the lists. Thanks for the info!

Ah, I misread and thought 'Prime' referred to the 'Age of the Primes' line, rather than the series

I'm pretty underwhelmed by AoP Red Alert. He's o.k, but nothing jumps out at me as great. He's just fine. >:oP

It may be I own the original and like the other features including the lights and sounds and the firing gimmicks. Also, the tiny clamp missile is just asking to be lost.

I guess it's just not all that when you have the original.

If you don't now the original, and never interacted with it, then I guess he's a decent update.

I'd probably only buy it again if they gave us the Sam's Club 2-pack Prowl and Starscream.

and I'd likely only buy the set for Starscrheen in the maroon and gray. :-D

Oh crap! Select Trypticon showed up two months early at BBTS! :shock:

I was thinking about checking out a vintage toy show this Friday but not any more! This is probably more worth my time, though, I went to the same show two years ago and it wasn't that great, not worth the hour drive. Plus there's one about 10 minutes from me at a local college this summer.

Anyway, yeah, if you pre-ordered Trypticon you may want to check your email.

Given that we've heard/seen a lot about Sideways and Excellion, but nothing about any others in any of the leaks, I wonder if we're still getting the rest of these.

To be fair, for the past 2-3 years Walmart has been insistent for some reason on revealing a percentage of their subline in March and then not showing the rest of it until it's basically on shelves already, so the fact that only those two have been shown yet doesn't mean the rest aren't coming. This same time last year we were still confused why we were supposedly getting two different Thundertrons and why all we'd seen of Road Pig was his arms.

Heck, we were still debating how many Deluxes we were getting in the Star Raiders line.

I would totally buy that set. I got it back in the day and renamed Starscream as Thrust (or I guess Thrust 2). Shame we didn't get Dirge stand in (aside from the Thrust repaint).

The lead designer on Transformers Age of the Primes toys, Marc Maher, has been posting images of the uocoming 13 Primes. His latest post is for Alchemist Prime and there’s lots of fun photos to share. We also included the previous post on Onyx Prime. Enjoy!

Let me introduce a powerful yet humble member of the 13 primes, Alchemist Prime is ready to grace your shelf with his divine and handsome presence! Move over and make some room, this guy exudes clear the path vibes even though he’d probably be the most enjoyable of the primes to just hang out with.
.
Tomo san really flexed his creative muscles on the transformation sequence of the mighty McAdams. Not to mention this guys proportions are incredibly unique and a rarity amongst many TF toys.
.
All the more reason to pour yourself a chalice of energon and lets get into the deets. I utilized the main inspiration for this guy from the McAdams,hmm I mean @toygrind appearance in cyberverse. I sprinkled in the covenant unique Prime esk shape designs but all the while thinking of the comic bartender apperance. The mustache and head sculpt might be my favorite aspect but the colors hit hard in hand, not to mention the easter eggs riddled all over his awesome artifact The Lenses! Which we increased the scale and made them split to become daggers, the idea here is that he would be able to utilize his mystical powers of the elements to change the weapons into any heated metal or even iced out adamantium or whatever and wherever your imagination takes you.
.
I always imagined his vehicle mode to be somewhat of a cybertronian all terrain vehicle. You can extend out his feetsies to urilize the 5 mm ports for a lil high speed action.
.
What I wouldn’t give to sit at a cybertronian pub and drink an energon pint and listen to wonderful stories of early cybertron and Alchemists outlook on life. Lets here the modules tune in their optics to sound off the details they see in the Lenses down below”

“At last, Onyx Prime has decided to grace your presence with his divinne beast kingdom glory! All behold the Triptych Mask artifact that has unique powers and will be welded to defeat any who oppose him. It is my great pleasure to bring this prime to your Age of the Primes toy generations collection at none other than leader scale at that!
.
As always, huge shouts out to Shu san from Takara Tomy, my beast wars brethren who always turns it up on these out of the box characters.
.
I really seasoned this spicy character with all sorts of cooking love. Shout out to @ken_christiansen_art and @aaronarcherofficial for putting the early look of this dude together. I even got a lil love from @marcelomatere on how techno-organic should I go on his tail…which did I mention, I made it a cool bow and the mask has been upgraded to a wicked spear/arrow! Went wild beast mode on the sculpt, threw in eagle references, horse references, gargoyle references all sorts of spikes, horns, and angular cybertronian angles, WOOF ! Colors were a challenge but I feel I dialed in the tones enough to get that good contrast, the metallic hits hard in hand!
.
The multitude of abilites on this guy, phew…really just bewildered by this beast, lemme see if I can give ya the quick Marky shake down. The front hoofs in centaur mode can be cascaded around his beefy shoulders, you have a wide array of versatility in between centaur and beast mode, his head can be transformed into a more beasty look for centaur mode but can be left upward to showcase his wide array of optics in robot mode. His spear has many different places for all sorts of cool poses and storage, his wings have a great range of articulation which I tried to showcase here.
.
I’m just very proud that I could help bring these 13 primes to life. Alchemist Prime, pass me a cool glass of energon and lets talk over some tings!”
