Courtesy of our friends at Hasbro, we now have official images of some upcoming Transformers Power of the Primes toys. These figures were all officially revealed during this past weekend's HASCON convention in Providence, RI. Included below are summaries and images of the following characters: Slash, Sludge, Swoop, Slug, Snarl, Grimlock, Optimus Prime and Orion Pax. You can view full galleries of these figures in our HASCON 2017 galleries as well as a video on our YouTube channel.

TRANSFORMERS: GENERATIONS POWER OF THE PRIMES MICRONUS PRIME MASTER
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $5.99/Available Fall 2017)
The TRANSFORMERS: GENERATIONS POWER OF THE PRIMES MICRONUS PRIME MASTER figure is a 1.5-inch-scale figure that hides inside the included CLOUDBURST decoy armor (aka Pretender). The Prime Master robot can convert into spark mode and attach to a Power of the Primes Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader Class figure (Not included. each sold separately). The AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS use Prime Masters to wield the incredible powers of the legendary bots who shaped the universe: the Primes. The MICRONUS Prime Master gives other bots the ability to link and share powers. How will the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS use this power-link ability? Anything is possible and everything is at stake when the Power of the Primes is unleashed! Available at most major retailers and on HasbroToyShop.com.

No.
Don't give me that hope.

No worries there. No chance a leader Megatronus comes out in PotP since all the primes are itty-bitties, and next year is all PotP.

They've alternated blue and red chest Swoop, what, five times now? And for some reason, Grimlock's teeny toes bothers me more than it should.

We'll have to wait and see which gets released, one or both with the other as a running change. I will say that the blue will stick out in combined mode.

And I see Sludge and Slug share upper legs and hips as well. It's official: under CW rules, they're pretools

Only for Voyager. The Leaders are the same price as before; I'm pretty sure in TLK they were something ridiculous like 60.

There is that, but I think voyager and up figures are some of the best in the line.

Yikes! At my location the Leaders haven't even shown up yet so I haven't really seen the price

Yep, as do they share upper arms, lower legs (now that's a significantly large part!) and probably some other parts as well. What I appreciate though is that their transformation scheme is different between the two; it's not just a reshell (preshell?) of a pre-existing transformation skeleton, there are obviously a few twists and turns that are different between the two - notably, their torsos face opposite directions in their dino modes. If CW started the trend of pre-planned mold uses, and TR got the hang of shared parts, it looks like PoTP is heading toward a full-blown mastery of creative retooling, reshelling and everything else in the general vicinity!

I'm all about the masterpiece, but I may have to reassess my collection, Damn that leader class Prime! Orion Pax prime! You tear at my soul and strain my resolve to constrain my spending...you tear at my SOUL!!!...Power of the Primes is killing me. Now I want to see the TAKARA versions..really bad!!

I sure hope so! Of course, given that I'm approximately as excited about the prospect of this as I was about Nightbeat in TR (read:VERY), I'm also preparing myself to admit defeat if they decide a significant reshell wouldn't be worth the work. The pain of losing something that was never going to exist in the first place... no person should know that pain

John Warden confirmed that his chest is blue in the toy line.

Yup, as that previous news alluded to. That sucks hard.

Kurona wrote:Only for Voyager. The Leaders are the same price as before; I'm pretty sure in TLK they were something ridiculous like 60.

This is only about US MSRP. The MSRP on the previous leaders in the Generations line, as you can see in the link below, is $45

https://www.hasbro.com/en-us/product/tr ... 5E03090E90

So this makes it a $5 increase.

Ooh, that would be nice now you mention it

I mean, we've already got Rodimus Unicronus or whatever in the pipeline for PoTP; whether that makes a similar kind of SG/Nemesis deco for Prime more or less likely is up for debate.

John Warden confirmed that the blue chested Swoop is the correct one. At the Friday panel, they withheld showing Swoop's stock render for reasons that weren't disclosed at the panel, and encouraged people to go see his toy in the display after the panel. That the stock render had a red chest suggests that they didn't want to give people the wrong impression about the toy since the render had the "wrong" chest color, and also suggests that the decision to go with a blue chest for Swoop was one made too late in the game for the stock render to be changed before HasCon.

Anyone else hoping to see figures like Thunderwing, Crossblades, etc done in this Leader Class style? I'd also be game for an Armada Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, but definitely open to some out of the box ideas as well before this concept expires.

All that would be cool, but I'm not expecting it.

Another cool idea.

Though, that-which-we-weren't-supposed-to-have-seen-before showed her to be a reuse of the Voyager Starscream mold.

Not in this line, she is coming as a voyager in wave 2.

I am pretty sure we will be getting a Star Sabre though. Armada Prime wouldnt be likely since they already have a big Optimus for this leader class that they will be rereleasing throughout the line.

What I would want, and I dont think we will get it, would be a Megatron that turns into Galvatron to oppose Rodimus.
