Directly from Hasbro, we have a new batch of official images (collected in their own gallery too) for toys 'revealed' (some more than others, admittedly) at New York Toy Fair 2018 for the Transformers: Power of the Primes line, and its various size class, from Legends to Leader, via Prime Masters and Deluxe!

The smallest Prime Masters and decoy suits include Bomb-Burst with Megatronus, Bludgeon with Quintus Prime, and Octopunch with Solus Prime; the Legends class include Tailgate (who shares the mold with Windcharger) and the Duocons Battleslash and Roadtrap, combining into Roadtrap; the Deluxes are the mold-sharing Novastar (Firestar to you and me) and Moonracer; Voyager wise we have triple changing - Elita-Infin1te combiner torso, robot and jet - Elita-1; and finally Leader with evolution gimmick for Optimus Primal and Optimal Optimus. Check them all out below, in official renders and artwork, and browse out galleries for a close look!

This is what I really hope happens. Personally I'd rather have box sets with a mixture of different characters instead of Combiners, like the Titans Return sets, but I'd be happy if the last three Prime Masters just came with exclusive Deluxes as well.

That artwork is absolutely perfect. They need to make posters and shirts with that on it. I would buy the crap out of it.

Except those "exclusives" are often not available to fans outside of the US unless they're willing to fork out a shit tonne of money.

It would be further indication that Hasbro just don't give a fuck about international fans.

Are we counting China? becuse they get some pretty sweet things. Asia gets the toys earlier than others (usually), and China was the only place where the first wave of Cyber Battalion figures were available at a decent price. Plus there was the GDO line, along with the Prime First Edition line which arrived almost eveywhere except for the US. That was prepetuated in the recent RID line. And finally, countries like Canada and Australia had the Combiner Wars boxsets fond in stores while they were only available online in the US.

Plus, I found Cogman and TR Wave 5 at retail, for about 10-12$ each while that is a faint dream for any American who will have to pay double for them.

So does this mean inferno isn't happening? What about project storm? Seems odd to leave those things out and save them for SDCC when they'll most likely be focusing on War for Cybertron.


Whoa there, slow down those pessimistic thoughts!

First of, Inferno is still happening in Wave 3, (early) Summer. Secondly, we still have a Wave or 2 in all Classes that's unknown to us (the possible Wave 5 would be a tight squeeze, unless the WFC Trilogy is scooted up a Wave or if's released side-by-side. We can hope!). Finally, we haven't even hit Spring, let alone the half-year mark.

Project Storm is nothing more but the Authentics, as explained before.

*brings out more tissues after the images*

War for Cybertron starts in January of 2019, there are typically 4 waves in a year and Novastar is the only new figure in wave 4 as shown in the original leaks. There's no reason to believe that any new figures have yet to be revealed for potp besides exclusives.


Wave 4 of the Deluxes, but the other Classes only had 3 leaked.

Which could just mean that there are no other classes in wave 4. Much like wave 6 of Titans return.

I said it when the leak was first leaked. We're not getting anything more than what was leaked.




I think we're ALL getting a little ahead of ourselves. To my knowledge, no official source has ever said that Wave 4 will be the last of the Power of the Primes. In fact, I would say that there is no reason to believe that Novastar is the only Wave 4 figure.

We KNOW that we have to get ALL of the Prime Masters, right? Even IF Onyx ONLY comes with Predaking, (which would be unfortunate, but I can NOW see that happening) that STILL leaves four more Prime Masters. That leaves AT LEAST one more wave of Prime Masters.

Given that everything that is "officially" revealed was in that Big Leak (which didn't specify waves for Deluxes) I think they're just playing catch-up. Hasbro tries to reveal-things-without-revealing-things all the time. But, given the fallout after the PotP leak, they clearly did not intend for this leak to happen.

I think there is still a decent amount of PotPs ahead of us. Not ENOUGH, mind you... I think it probably will fizzle out the same way that Titans Return did... :/

I HAD a theory that between exclusives and box sets, we would get special editions of all Prime Masters (the likes of Blast Off) without Pretender Shells. Less confident about that, now.

But, I could be wrong. I just think we should all chill out for a sec.


I'm leaning towards box sets to complete the line.

Skritz wrote:I keep saying it but: Seacons would be piss-easy to make out of PotP molds except Snaptrap. If they intend to save them for later but keep the same core engineering from the Prime Wars trilogy, these guys are entirely doable by remolding the Terrorcons. Snaptrap is also doable if you massive retool the exterior of Grimlock to enable quadrupedal stance.

So who knows? Maybe if the Seacon or Monster Pretenders DO appear in later Generations line, they'd be made from at-that-point years-old molds.

God, I hope that doesn't happen, that would then make the combined mode a pile of trash, and they deserve better =;

Is cogman potp? ;)

As we are here though, Cogman was around 20 dollars at Amazon Japan and at Yamada Denki in Japan, when I looked, which is probably "cheap" for my area of the woods.

Roadtrap is every bit as fidgety as Legends Wheelie in vehicle mode. You get a side panel in place and the back part splits, you get that part together and half the front window pops up. Pretty frustrating even with the built in locks inside the front wheels that are supposed to keep everything together. Bot mode is alright, his legs look stumpy thanks to the windows, but standing him next to Bumblebee the leg joints are all in the same place. Annoying alt mode aside, he's OK.




My Roadtrap is nowhere near the mess/embarrassment that is Titans Return Wheelie.

They should do a subline of this new style of duo-con, think that would go a long way, especially if they were interchangeable with each other, kind of like a neo-energon, only the lines gimmick would be 'not being crap'

It would be awesome if they matched up with micromaster combiners somehow. Like an oil truck splits into two halves with individual robot modes and then can combine into a third larger robot.

Or they could do the entire Landcross set.

I know that's G1 related, but the ideas doesn't have to be G1, just some ideas to try to entice these G1-centric creators to do more of them.

Thanks mate, but I've had others offer to do the same, but the postage, combined with a crappy dollar conversion rate ends up making them VERY expensive exclusives which I simply can't justify.

I think keeping them small helps make the imperfections less egregious, but that's just me, larger figures - I think - would mean more of an attempt to add kibble, which means more kibble to store in combined mode, I think scout class is where it's at, and that's my reasoning :D

Sweet 8-)

Once again, legends class proving itself to be our savior once more :PRAY:

They should do a subline of this new style of duo-con, think that would go a long way, especially if they were interchangeable with each other, kind of like a neo-energon, only the lines gimmick would be 'not being crap'


It would be awesome if they matched up with micromaster combiners somehow. Like an oil truck splits into two halves with individual robot modes and then can combine into a third larger robot.

Or they could do the entire Landcross set.

I know that's G1 related, but the ideas doesn't have to be G1, just some ideas to try to entice these G1-centric creators to do more of them.

...And of course, Flywheels...with huge freakin feet...

I think this would be a great interpretation of micromasters, no one wants a tiny figure that turns into a tanker trailer, but two different tanker trucks with great bot modes then combining into an awesome bot, I can get behind that ;)^



There were also the Japanese "Multiforce", which were similar to the current POTP Duocons:

I'm down with that... ;)^ :D

I think it would be cool to get a cw liokaiser retool, with elita 1 (cuz the jet mode finally works - and as there's no fiction surrounding them, I'm fine with making the leader a female) as the new leader, a new combiner head, and retooled limbs... (dat tank with arms tho)

Just to put people at ease about Onyx Prime being only available with Predaking, the box pretty clearly states it's a special edition, sort of like the Megatronus that comes with May Mayhem Blast Off.

We know the real version will look like this:

No black outline, probably no yellow paint, and it looks like his arms will be black if the art is accurate.

Sure does.

And they're normal knees hidden behind armor, not weird mid-thigh knees like it appears in some photos.

The age of the molds doesn't seem to bother Hasbro that much. They did go back to the 2015 Air Raid/Skydive mold for Dreadwind and Blackwing in 2018 after all. I'll be surprised if they don't have plans to visit some PotP molds again by the end of 2021.

Prime Masters suits have small handles on the weapon parts so they can hold them themselves. That's all Bludgeon and Octopunch are doing, though they're taking the same liberties with Bludgeon's weapon as they did with Optimus Primal's swords.

Blame the retailers for not carrying the toys in your countries in mass quanities. Blame your government for using import taxes for profit making. Blame the local culture in your countries for not attracting enough fans to make toy sales profitable. But dont blame Hasbro. Their job is to make the toys and they are doing their job. Its not Hasbros fault if your countries make the hobby difficult.

As much as I'm looking forward to these figures, I'm also trying to brace myself for disappointment because ever since the Beast Hunters line in 2013, most of the figures haven't shown up anywhere in my area. I had to look up Amazon to find the figures I'm looking for.

For months, I've been trying to look for Overlord, but he's not in stores. Nor is he on Amazon. I also want to get Blitzwing, but the price for him is just ridiculous! :-x He's about up to nearly £80!

You know, I've always been curious as to why certain countries get exclusives like that, it can't just be a fan base/monetary based thing. Anyway, been goofing with the PotP prime and I LOVE the Orion Pax, the whole thing is cool, but I honestly think that Pax made the whole set worth while for me. The whole toy is fun, yeah the truck mode is kind of...eh, but overall it's not too bad. As for what's coming out and is out around here, I'm excited. They all look like really fun toys to play with and great homages to toys I wanted/had as a kid.

Dude its not about defending Hasbro. Its about calling you out on a statement you made thats total bullshit...the same way you would do me.

Hasbro will ship out as many pallets of transformers as your TRU management is willing to buy. Its not Hasbros fault if TRU Australia doesnt want to invest in the franchise. Obviously people down under arent digging transformers enough. How the hell is that Hasbros fault? Its up to you guts to make the hobby a success or a failure. Create more fans that will buy more toys and the retailers will invest. Its that f**king simple.

On to the extreme price gouging. Obviously living on an island has a downside that effects the cost of "importing". But then again. the toys are all made in Asia (even takara versions) Does Japan have a problem getting shipments of transformers from China? Not really. So thats your government making it hard on imports from China...not Hasbro.

Import customs taxes on ebay purchases....something im so glad we dont have to deal with in the united states. But once again, thats your governments fault, not Hasbros.

Last but not least, culture differences. If nobody wants to be a fan why should TRU stock the shelves or work out deals to bring down prices? Get more fans willing to buy or deal with obscurity. Its like me complaining that no pet shop in Miami wants to sell f**kin wallabies as pets. Your an online news guy. Stop complaining and get a shit load of Austrailian fans to sign a petition and deliver it to TRU Australias headquarters. Try and write to corporate. Do something...

THANK YOU! I've been watching this POTP thread for a while now, and it seems like this is one of those details that most people seem to have missed. I'm not sure where this notion that we're not getting a general retail Onyx Prime came from, but it's really bizarre.

Actually, scratch that. Seems to me like it's been going hand-in-hand with the rumor that POTP is ending with Wave 4 (aka just Novastar). As someone in the thread mentioned earlier, we're basing a LOT of POTP speculation purely off of one leak that Hasbro clearly didn't intend on having to ever deal with. It seems to me that revealing all of the leaked toys is an attempt at damage control. I'd say it's possible that we're seeing toys that weren't supposed to be revealed until much later, Novastar and the Wave 3 Prime Masters being possible examples. I also don't seem to recall Toy Fair EVER being where Hasbro revealed everything they had in store for a toyline. Usually they save later reveals for other conventions.

There's also the fact that we still have three Prime Masters who need toys, those being Nexus Prime, Amalgamous Prime, and Prima. All three of them have had cards showcasing their powers attached to other toys. Hell, I got a Nexus Skrapnel card packaged with my Legends Skrapnel toy. I don't see why Hasbro would have made that card if there was no intention on making the Prime Master to correspond with it. It simply does not add up, unless plans for the line changed at the VERY last minute. While it's possible this could have happened, that is such an eleventh hour change to make, and one that would likely be very costly to do.

I'm sorry if this rant comes across as hostile as it was not my intention to be hostile, but I'm starting to get rather annoyed at some of the massive assumptions being made in this thread.

That's not exactly accurate, we've had toy fairs where they 'reveal' stuff that's out already, it doesn't usually go over well. Wave 3 had to be partially revealed as wave 2 is apparently chilling out in spades here in the state's (though I have to see any of them...) so revealing figures that have video reviews all over the internet, not really a great idea >:oP

You yourself are making many assumptions too by stating the opposite. Hasbro gave us all the details so there is nothing for any of us to assume. They were very clear. POTP is ending this year, we will get the first toys for the next line Januray 2019 (so they will be in stores this december). There will be exclusives this year that they are not revealing yet and we know for a fact that those exclusives are part of POTP. And they will reuse previous molds in their next trilogy.

So right there, they have not revealed everything, there are exclusives left, but there wont be a 5th wave either. And any toy you didnt get this year can still come out between 2019 and 2021.

Man, all the duocons I'm seeing in people's photos, making me jealous I haven't yet seen them. My Aunt and Uncle had them, and some of the dinobots and insecticons at their house in the Upper Penisula and I loved going there to just play with those toys. I remember thinking as a little kid that I wanted to take them home with me, but I should leave them because it would make going to their house a little special. I really want them to do Flywheels and not just the headmaster version. Though I do love those little titan master stand alones.
Been drinking coffee and enjoying some apple tartlets in between cleaning and playing, and right now I'm using the matrix frame and popping all the PotP masters in it. I'm so glad I started to collect these things as I did, been able to start filling in all the wants and replacements from childhood. These lines are so much fun, and if this is any indication of how much fun I'll have with the next 'trilogy' of toys when it happens, I'm excited.

I picked up the Duocons a couple days ago, and I absolutely love them. Theyre really fun to fiddle with, and I really enjoy the concept of two smaller figs combining to make a larger one. I really hope that this opens the door to some revitalized UT figures. Even if they're in a Legends class format, I'd still love to have them, as the Powerlinx figures of the UT era were some of my favorites as a kid.

I really do wish that the Prime Masters worked a bit more like the Cyber Keys, though. I would have loved to been able to plug a Prime Master in and "power up" the figure, rather than just have them sit in some armor I know I'll never use.

You need to understand that Toy Fair is basically a trade show for the toy industry first and foremost and while they do have reveals there it's really more about showing stuff off to retailers and licensees that aren't as well informed as we are. It isn't like BotCon or SDCC where they really try to wow us (not to say they didn't occasionally fall short of expectations).

Then there's the issue with big corporate suits not always planning out their logistics correctly and have a wave that should still be a month away coming out early. Plus Hasbro stopped outsourcing their PR team around the start of Titans Return which I feel like has done weird things to the line of communication between Hasbro and us fans.

In an ideal world the "new" PotP figures would have been as well guarded as Cyberverse was.

So what do you think the chances are of a Prime Masters wave 4? I think it's possible since we know there's an unused Waverider suit plus regular Onyx Prime (I don't think they'll be paired) waiting to be placed somewhere. And PMs are the only PotP class that hasn't had duplicates which I think is a sign that they're dedicated to getting all 12 out within PotP. It does mean getting four new PMs (the most of the line) in the final wave, but then again most of the first three waves of Titan Masters had 4 figures each so it isn't totally out of the question. I wonder if they'd be willing to let them bleed into WfC?

The other thing is wave 3 is supposed to arrive in July, but the way things are going it'll be more like late May which would leave nothing new for half the year. And despite how Hasbro tried to spin the poor distribution of late waves, it was Deluxe wave 5 (and in my case wave 4) that few in the USA could find at retail or online, Deluxe wave 6 was no problem.

They still use Rogers and Cowan for PR. We were in contact with them today about official images.

And I think the odds of getting wave 4 Prime Masters is high since I dont see how else we would get the 12 primes masters they promised us when we know the exclusive toys will come with special edition versions.

Oh, then they changed it a second time. While I was writing for Tomopop they were using Hunter PR which was great, they always stayed in touch with us. Then they started doing PR internally and refused to contact us or reply to our emails requesting press releases (I PMed Ryan to verify we had the right contacts). I guess they didn't keep that going for long if they're back to using yet another PR team, no wonder why they're releasing stuff before they even announce it the way they're going through PR services.
