Courtesy of our regular source of not entirely through the right channels news, Weibo account tf-factory, we have some scans of the instructions and cross-sell images for the Transformers: Power of the Primes line, and mostly its combiners. These are the images showing with limb is 'meant to' attach to which torso - from a purely marketing and distribution strategy, as the scramble city deployment is still in effect with this line, and you can make up your gestalt with whomever you choose, of course.

From the looks of it, the Terrorcons almost get a dedicated schematic, with Inferno and Moonracer joining Cutthroat, Sinnertwin and Blot, while Hun-Gurr, Sinnertwin and Rippersnapper hang out with Duocons Blackwing and Dreadwind; Grimlock is then joined by Jazz and Dreadwind, while Slug and Swoop go out on a limb; Starscream so far includes Jazz, Slug, Dreadwind and Swoop; and Elita-1 is joined by Dinobots Sludge and Snarl, plus Jazz and Moonracer. Check it all out below, along with an extra shot of Dreadwind's instruction sheet.

"Duocon" Dreadwing? I guess every two-piece Decepticon combo is a "Duocon" now. :roll:

Note that some are from the European versions, with the Dutch still as horrific as ever :lol:

And now we get the video review of windcharger.



personally, i don't mind his head actually, it doesn't look that bad. And he actually looks fun to transform too.

My wife said I should have asked a manager. I probably should have, but I was so upset at the time I said screw it. If they don't want my money, I don't have time for them.


Bad customer service aside....I do hope that we see a fan-mode sometime that is able to integrate slash somehow into Volcanicus whether as part of him, or as an accessory.

Also I still think there is a chance we will get the rest of the members for the Starscream, Inferno, and Elita-1 teams in later waves. If we get a minimum of 5 waves in this line (really hoping for 6), then that's at least 10-12 deluxes that have not been revealed yet, enough to finish those other teams. I mean I'd rather have Piranacon and Monstructor (or Dinoking) in later waves...but I'm actually hoping they are made into box sets, and the rest of the regular deluxes come as regular retail.


Did you bring up the DPCI number at all?

Once more via fellow Seibertronian bacem, we have a video review of the third member of the Autobot side of the first wave of Transformers Power of the Prime appearing at US retail this week: Windcharger! An old favourite of previous toylines, namely Reveal the Shield with the Scout class gems, then again to less success in Combiner Wars, Windcharger had a small spotlight in the IDW comics prior to the Dark Cybertron event (as a member of the X-Men Outliers helping Orion Pax), and is now back in plastic form in this new toyline.

Compatible with Prime Masters and Titan Masters alike, you can check out the clip embedded below, via YouTube reviewer Long's Toys. Reviews of fellow Legend class wavemates Beachcomber and Slash can be found back in this news post here, too. Enjoy!

Damn that sucks. Next time do what I did. Dont tell them what the item is....just give them the DCPI code and let them type it in their little gizmo thing they carry. It worked for both deluxes and legends for me and both times they went to the back and pulled them.

Does Blackwing do anything different than the original Aerialbot? In Dreadwind's instructions there's no mention of the double combination.

Also what is this Brickstreet app and is it Android compatible

Yo yo. Real quick guys.

I was just adding my sightings to the sightings section, and noticed there was a Rippersnapper sighting.

Can we, like, get some confirmation, here? I have a hard time believing that someone found him already.

So Dreadwing is a Duocon, but Dreadwind and Blackwing aren't? And does that mean Dreadwing has its own combiner-like conscience? I always thought of them as being like pilot and co-pilot.

this is the reason why i dont spend so much time hunting for them at stores most of the time they skip over waves or never carry certain class sizes, if i just happen to come across ones im looking for then great like sometimes if im near a store ill pop in for a quick look sometimes i get lucky like yesterday i was at walgreens in salem and found the clone two pack then down the steet was a toys r us and found the chaos on velocirton set i havent been that lucky in a long time
any way i find it easier to just get the figs online less of a fuss ;)

I can confirm this was a mistake on our part: a technofinger slipped, and we haven't amended it yet. Thanks for the heads up!

Loving Slash. Only one flaw for me. Loving the Titan/Prime Master compatibility. Reminds me of the Diaclone pilots. But hate how they don't "sit" properly with the knee bend.

I'm loving Slash as well. I don't mind the seat positioning. My only concern is the cover for the cockpit. Because 1) clear plastic and 2) Wolfwire.

Yeah, I'm holding my breath waiting for the names of the upcoming combiners. Not sure why that's so important to me, but it is.

I'll chime in with my own brief reviews of the deluxe wave. I've been really impressed by them. Engineering and deco all seems to be above average. Gimmick is fun but doesn't get in the way. Head sculpts all spot on. I like the new gestalt fists. None seem cheap/KO or like they are trying to spare plastic too much (e.g. waffling) Sizes look good.

I thought Slag looked stiff in all the reviews, but you can pop his neck up and away from the body. Looks significantly better. No complaints after that.

Only real complaint, I'd love it if Jazz could be the original car, but I know there are licensing issues. That taken into account (and knowing their hands are tied) they came through with a pretty G1 looking bot mode in spite of it. Curious to see what they repaint Jazz into.

Now this would be cool. I'm waiting on a Leader Star Saber and a combining Road Caesar!!!

On another brought up note, I would like a seeker combiner. That would be pretty awesome! King Scream/MegaScream and the seeker armada. Though who would be left out of the 3 coneheads and 3 original seekers would be interesting. Dreadwind makes for a good conehead basis.

I'm excited for Slash, Beach, and Windcharger. Windcharger looks pretty good, and while I would have preferred his earlier toy, this one is good to me. Beachcomber looks pretty awesome, and Slash is adorable. I may just keep her in raptor mode beside Volcanicus, kinda like having Volcanicus as Rexy from Jurassic World and Slash as Blue, and have them fight Predaking like that final fight!!!

Also just realized why Scorn was the only new dinobot mold in TLK: the other 6 were all getting new PotP toys, makes sense. Maybe my deluxe Scorn will go join my PotP dinobots and leave his voyager self on the movie shelf.

I actually think Jazz looks good, and I do need a generations Jazz. Combining him, the plane brothers, screamer, and others like them are questionable, but I'm kinda hoping for that Artfire/Stepper/3 other guys combiner from Takara. Maybe Artfire and Stepper will combine with Braver, Laster, and Blacker to give us a new Road Caesar!!!

what id hope they will release is a Voyager Sludge and Scorn for POTP, also maybe a new Dulex Dinobot to replace the sludge or a Dulex Paddles. I just think sludge is to small, and we need a gen/classic scorn.

Wow. I'd SO be down for a deluxe Paddles retool. New head and legs on that thing would be such a cool nod. Would also look great for matching size/shape legs or arms on volcanicus.

maybe a 3rd party will come out with a upgrade kit to mod sludge into paddles, that would be awesome. Also I'd buy a 3rd party upsized sludge that was voyager size.
Re: Instruction Images for Transformers Power of the Primes Combiners: Starscream, Elita-1, Terrorcons (1922825)
Posted by gothsaurus on November 20th, 2017 @ 11:33am CST
agreed on all of those. Bummer is, the real option I'd have liked to see would be a sludge/paddles that could be the torso. Can't really get that out of a KO... though I'd still buy a simple upsize in a heartbeat.

see I'd love a Voyager sludge, paddles and scorn as torso's, and two new Dulex dinobots one for IDW "Skar" and I want a remold/retool of Snarl as "Slapper" (2001 Robots in Disguise - walmart)


Skar: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Skar_(Dynobot)

Thanks for the info on these other dinobots, Stealth Claw. They slipped under my radar, though I do remember — and would also add — the PowerCore addition Grimstone. He would be a good Slag minor retool that could round out an alternate matching limb, too.

I'd love some running-changes like this from Hasbro. Would be great to see some deep-dives into obscure lore like we saw from the club and Botcon. That's actually one of the top things I miss. Hoping they can find a consistent outlet for some store or box set exclusives that really fill that missing niche... not to mention some place for the fiction we have lost now.

Not sure why they don't do an SDCC comic, or something to go in the box sets we saw (Velocitron, etc.) The characterization and story are what makes you attached to a character... and want to complete some story lineup. It's a great sales motivator for me, and I'm sure a lot of other fans.

But I digress... solid wave. Hope we get some repaints and retools of these guys.

Based on purely circumstantial evidence, they're making plenty of money without doing this.

I quite agree with you, just to be clear :) It's really tough to get super hyped for the future when it looks like endless variations of G1. Transformers has always remained compelling by not overstaying its welcome in one state or another, but PotP is dangerously close to just being CW + TR without bringing anything actually new to the table.

I think an auxiliary dinobot box set would be cool.
Grimlock -> Scorn
Slag -> Grimstone
Sludge -> Paddles
Snarl -> Slapper
Swoop/another remold of the others -> Skar

I really want to see another line get the Generations treatment.

I wouldn't even mind if it was "lazy" repaints/redecos.

Give me 2001 RID as Generations -

Optimus Prime from the CW Hot Spot mold
Ultra Magnus from the CW Optimus Mold with a trailer that can split into a powered up mode via the CW ports (you can then use these pieces on Optimus for Omega Prime)
T-AI from a Prime Master mold
Prowl from the CW Sunstreaker mold
Side Burn from the CW Dead End mold
X-Brawn from the CW Offroad mold
Fortress Maximus, Emissary, Cerebros as a repaint of TR Fort Max

Hot Shot, R.E.V., Crosswise, W.A.R.S., Ironhide, Mirage can all use CW molds too.

Or make new molds. :)

Love the idea for a dinosaur troop builder box set. For throwing out ideas, what about a seeker limb set — original season one trio in one box. Ramjet, Dirge, Thrust in a second. Sell it through BBTS/Target/Amazon. Heck, knock it up to a 4-pack with a light purple drone and a G2 Ramjet/Sunstorm/Acidstorm or such.

And yeah, I get your drift. Throwing us some rich story and deep lore aren't high on Hasbro's priority next to just plain ole toy sales.

Sigh. As 'lore', the IDW comic is always far enough off base from the original stories and characters that it's hard to reconcile to the original TV/comic stories... and for me to get too excited or deep into it. (e.g. personality swaps (megs is a good guy, arcee a killer) or off-the-wall changes (Prowl is Devastator, Sunstreaker a headmaster.) Of course, I know a lot of people love these new stories, but many of them rub me wrong and don't "feel like canon" to me.

BUT who knows. Maybe the comic will work something into the stories that gets the gears turning. I really am craving some idea-starters about matrixes and prime-masters to get the ole imagination kicking for this final trilogy.

I forgot about her too. Swap her in as the last deluxe and put Skar in as a Slash retool

Another idea, theirs a lot of G2, MW, BW2 jets, what about the idea of 3 combiners, use starsream, skywarp and thundercraker as the torsos?

I'd love some running-changes like this from Hasbro. Would be great to see some deep-dives into obscure lore like we saw from the club and Botcon. That's actually one of the top things I miss. Hoping they can find a consistent outlet for some store or box set exclusives that really fill that missing niche... not to mention some place for the fiction we have lost now.

Not sure why they don't do an SDCC comic, or something to go in the box sets we saw (Velocitron, etc.) The characterization and story are what makes you attached to a character... and want to complete some story lineup. It's a great sales motivator for me, and I'm sure a lot of other fans.

But I digress... solid wave. Hope we get some repaints and retools of these guys.

I can see the dinobot team in G2 colors

The current theory is that Hun-Grrr has an alternate Strafe head mold, based on what little bit we could see of his covered head in his Hascon reveal.

Well, Hun-Grr does have some kind of alternate head mould. We'll have to wait and see what it is...

Considering how Hasbro seem very serious about 'brand identity' it seems odd we'd see yet another combiner component named Strafe, given the Technobot of the same name most likely take precedence in who gets the name.

The movie character is higher profile.

But, hey, I don't think it will be a straight IDW lift if they do it. Maybe red, silver, and gold.

The big thing I see is that the movie character is winged.

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see new Dinobots later in this line or red Swoop when they get to the waves where they reuse figures. Or maybe they'll do a CW style boxed set with, say, alternate Slug, Swoop, and Grimlock decos and a could of alternate Dinobots. G2 Dinobots boxed set with Sludge swapped out for Strafe?

Well, technically speaking, movie-verse Strafe barely count as a 'character'. I mean, I see your point, but I just don't really see a line-less living prop from a single Bay movie having precedence over G1 in the brand. Usually, it takes a lot more for a name to lose its association with a pre-existing character, usually because the character is pretty minor. Now, true, Technobots aren't huge but given we've just had Combiner Wars I find it unlikely we'd see the name reused within the line. Usually, name re-use are for new toys of the same character.

Maybe we got it all wrong and Hun-Grr is getting retooled into something else? Something we don't expect? Maybe some new combiner?

Looks like PotP Skrapnel isn't merely a reissue of T30 Skrapnel after all, but is in fact a darker-colored redeco - https://imgur.com/gallery/bzl2n

Fellow Seibertronian Powered Convoy has posted images comparing both Hasbro releases of Transformers Generations legends class Skrapnel / Shrapnel, the one from Thrilling 30 and the newly released one from Power of the Primes. Here we get a very good look at the differences which have been broken down by Twincast Podcast host ScottyP:

ScottyP wrote:Shrapnel has a darker purple than the prior Generations release, slightly lighter yellow paint (ymmv on that), and a barely different paint app pattern on the legs. Different enough for completionists to not hate themselves, not different enough for those with the old one to really worry about :)


Our own Sabreblade posted Powered Convoy's images, which can be seen below:

Out of seemingly nowhere, Hasbro Toy Shop has stocked the Wave 1 Prime Master figures for Power of the Primes! Thanks to a tip from Seibertronian mordhelm, we can confirm that Prime Masters Micronus, Liege Maximo and Vector Prime (with Decoy Suits based on Cloudburst, Skullgrin and Metalhawk respectively) are all listed on hasbrotoyshop.com, and can be Added to Cart and purchased at this very moment.

Each figure is listed at $4.99, a dollar lower than the price found in Toys R Us' database just over two months ago. Since the Prime Master class hasn't been discovered at any form of retail up until now, this is the first chance that collectors will have to grab these figures.

Will you be picking these toys up from Hasbro Toy Shop now, or waiting a little longer for them to come to you? Let us know on the Energon Pub Forums, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more updates on the Power of the Primes toyline as it rolls out!

NICE Qwan! I'm super-tempted right now, but would like to locate them on the Hunt....

Interesting. I'm feeling the complete opposite.

Well. Actually. I will buy all of them. BUT, I actually like the Skullgrin one.

This is all coming from someone that never liked Pretenders, though. So take the opinion as you will.
