More Images and Reveals from Cybertron Con: Star Convoy, Heatwave, Sky Byte, Prima, Solus and More

I do hope Skybite will be a brand new voyager mold. Something more akin to the original BW rather than the flimsy T30 version.

I have the G1 Star Convoy reissue so maybe that new titan version will be an easy pass... Who I am kidding, I WANT IT!

As for Superion, yeah, I still like it.

Finally, I want all of the old Prime gods.
And A.Waspy. And RB Heatwave...

I may have a problem.

Definitely getting Star Convoy, Red Alert and Wasp.

Interesting the gave him MT-13. The OG SC had an unnumbered MT. SkyGarry had #0, and the Micromaster teams had #1 - #12.

Love the Hot Rodimus Micromaster though.

Lots of new reveals! But - what does the Reaper think of it all...?

Generally, it's good to see so many new molds instead of the normal bevy of repaints. There are a few of those too, but a lot of it looks new, which is most welcome. As to the figures themselves:

Star Convoy: I never had any connection to this figure or the character. So it's looking like an easy money-saving PASS. No matter how hard Hasbro tries with these 'base' modes, they are simply just not big enough to be actual bases. They're more like tiny sections OF a base.

Aerialbots/Superion: The combined mode looks nice and stable. I'm not sure if the Menasor/skeleton model is the best for him. But if it's poseable and doesn't fall over, then it'll be a welcome replacement to the CW version. I'll likely make a try for these.

Deluxe Wasp: If it's the Legacy United TFA Bumblebee, then it's going to be a tiny little guy that costs over $25. That's going to be a bitter pill to swallow. I may pick this up, but ONLY if it's on sale or discount. I don't see myself paying full retail price for a Bumblebee remold, even if it is Wasp.

Sonic Crossovers: Not really a Sonic aficionado. Pass on both Sonic and Tails.

Prima Prime: Looks nice and intricate, but I'm not really seeing any grand appeal. Pass.

Solus Prime: Same feelings to this one as to Prima. Pass.

Red Alert: Never got into the Energon line. Looks OK, but not with my increasingly limited shelf space. Pass.

G2 Grimlock/Wheelie: No. Just... no. As nice as the SS86 Leader Grimlock mold is? They've re-used it 4-5 times now. Time to let it go. Especially if it includes that awful Wheelie accessory.

I'm still hankering to see SS86 Megatron. I don't mind them taking their time, as long as it's not another blankety-blank-blank "H" tank. Give us a REAL tank that's solid and contiguous. And with Menasor and now Superion looking stable and solid - I admit I'm eager to see what they do with Bruticus and the Combaticons. The 'base' modes for Motormaster and Silverbolt look awful and I don't think any users will keep them in those modes. But Onlsaught? His missile trailer mode seems to have been MADE for that kind of setup.

What say ye, mortals?

Okay, looking at my remaining guesses...

Onyx Prime: IDW Comics

Alpha Trion: A repackaging or redeco of Legacy Alpha Trion from the two-pack

Amalgamous Prime: The only one with a clear design, Transformers One (from the trading cards)

Quintus Prime: Earthspark

Nexus Prime: Timelines Comics
He would have to be a combiner, of course

Onyx Prime seems to be accurate

From what I can gather, Alpha Trion may be a Vector Prime reduce, which would make my guess inaccurate

Quintus Prime does not seem to be based on Earthspark, as it looks like he's more similar to his Aligned design.

While I'm not sure which one Nexus is in the statue picture, I sure don't see a combiner

I'm not sure which ones in the statue image are Amalgamous or Alchemist, so I can't say for sure if they're accurate.

It's the return of the Supreme class from the Unicron Trilogy! Supreme class is back, baby!

Honestly, I rather have a "Supreme Class" figure that feels dense with loads of stuff going on, than a Titan that is a huge, gigantic amalgam of empty "Tupperwares."

Armada Red Alert is on point!

Animated Wasp was expected, but still looks good.

It is good to see Heatwave is actually going to be made; I hope the figure is as good as the box art.

Solus Prime looks fantastic!

Prima Prime appears to be a solid figure that is perfect for a dyeing session! I am going to dye the figures thighs and forearms the same blue as the accent paint in the chest. I am going to add the color and character that Hasbro didn't.

Glyph wrote:Nexus is the big one in the centre back, Alchemist is standing between him and Micronus (he's also the moustached face on the left of the Star Convoy box art), and Amalgamous is standing between Onyx and Quintus.

Thanks for clarifying!

While I can't tell if Nexus is a combiner, he certainly isn't based on the FunPub comics like I predicted.

Alchemist looks somewhat similar to his Cyberverse and One appearances, so its hard to say for sure.

And while its not 1-1, Amalgamous actually does look to take his shape from Transformers One

It is worth noting that he is also orange/red in his IDW appearances, which is arguably his most prominent appearance (given that he played a significant role in the final act of the comic run)

But he's definitely also blue in IDW, isn't he? That's the primary appearance I was referring to when I said that....is he only blue there when he's actually Shockwave and I've Mandela'd myself?

OK, catchup time. TLDR: I want it all.

Star Convoy Optimus Prime - All that and a lower price? I'm totally sold on that! I'm honestly surprised they're giving us a Hot Rod Micromaster when they were so stingy about Mini-Cons with Metroplex and Tidal Wave. The cab on the Micro Trailer comes off and becomes a gun.

Aerialbots - I like these a lot. The blockyness of the jets isn't so bad, we've seen other jets in Legacy this bad or worse (Metalhawk). Silverbolt looks good in both modes, the added parts definitely don't look essential to his jet and the "base" mode looks more cohesive than Motormaster's.

Wasp - Exactly what we should have all expected.

Red Alert - Looks really good colored. I was already onboard but the colors make the mold pop for sure.

Solus Prime - I'm getting Generations (2013) Orion Pax crossed with Reveal the Shield Laser Optimus Prime vibes. She's neat and I look forward to all 10 of her repaints and retools.

Prima Prime - We've seen him a lot and I'm definitely looking forward to him, but I'm looking forward to his blue repaint more. Watch the blue version come with the Aligned head just to mess with us.

G2 Grimlock - Nothing surprising as far as Grimlock goes, but I never expected him to come with a "G2 Wheelie" that's in his "savage" colors, just needs the Sharkticon teeth.



Heatwave's a Bulkhead retool, right? Also is his blue gun a reference to the gun Hero Mashers Heatwave? The shape is different, maybe it's just blue because of being molded with the windshield like Bulkhead's gun and it's a happy coincidence. Then again, Legacy Medix got a clear blue gun just to reference his FunPub figure's HFG.

Vortex - I'm sure it's fine, can't tell much from half the art.

Onyx - Shouldn't he be more black than orange? That's a lot of orange.

Sonic Collab. - Weird that Tales is a big Voyager and Sonic is a Deluxe. In box Tails towers over Sonic, or I should say Wingtail (should be Tailwings) towers over Blue Booster (should be Blue Bomber). Wont be pre-ordering this one, need to see it in person.

For those saying Superion doesn't need the frame like Menasor to be cartoon accurate, your memory is failing you. The arms aren't quite as bad, but the legs are definitely more accurate as "legs with jets on the back".

Glyph wrote:There was also a box art picture of Vortex for some reason, but AFAIK neither Alpha Bravo nor the Constructicons have been mentioned for any of this?

Combaticons. Swindle was in the original Wave 2 listing but was replaced with Vortex, adding fuel to the theory that we're getting Nexus Prime in 2026.
