We have an update on Amazon's listing of Power of the Primes Blastoff. This listing that at first did not seem to inform us of anything outright new has now dropped a bombshell: Blastoff comes with Prime Master Megatronus.
This continues the trend we had in Titans Return of a special edition deluxe toy coming with a smaller figure, as was the case with Arcee and Grotusque. This wont be the actual Megatronus Prime Master we will be getting at retail (and already seen in the back of Inferno's box) but a special clear version, as the listing states. In restrospect we had all the facts presented before us in the initial reveal of the packaging since we see a different looking Megatronus Prime Master at the upper right hand corner. Looking at it below with the information we now have means this Megatronus would be in clear red plastic. The listing also describes special packaging for the set and new bio facts that include what power this special Megatronus gives to Blastoff.
I would like to thank TF fan Nevermore for sharing this updated listing with us, which also reverts to the Combienr Wars name.
Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Blast Off and Megatronus Prime Master
Includes a special edition Deluxe Class Blast Off figure with premium deco
Includes the special edition, clear Megatronus Prime Master figure
Comes in special edition packaging; celebrate the Prime Wars Trilogy with this collectible set
Includes Deluxe Class Decepticon Blast Off figure, special edition Megatronus Prime Master figure, 2 accessories, and instructions. Ages 8 and up.
Celebrate the Prime Wars Trilogy with this special edition Combiner Wars Decepticon Blast Off figure. It’s built with updated Combiner Wars molds and decorated in new colors. Plus, it’s the only Transformers figure that includes the clear Megatronus Prime Master figure. During the Prime Wars, Decepticon Blast Off knew he was superior to the Autobots. With the Megatronus Prime Master, the gap between him and other bots has widened. Now he can imbue his laser rifle with a fragment of the power of the Requiem Blaster, the weapon of Megatronus himself. This Deluxe Decepticon Blast Off is a 5.5-inch scale figure and comes with a 1.5-scale Megatronus Prime Master figure. The Decepticon Blast Off figure converts from space jet to robot mode in 15 steps. The Prime Master figure converts between robot and spark in 1 step. Transformers all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

Received these guys today :
I'm still not sure what to think about the duocons.
Together the'yre fine, but individually, they're really terrible.
I think Hasbro should have sold them in two packs.
I passed on Windcharger because of the terrible head, but it's the contrary for tailgate, that's a cool head. He'll replace the T30 one.

That listing tentatively confirms that Megatronus will not have his Decoy Suit, as it lists only 2 accessories, the gun and the HFG most likely. The Decoy Suit counts as an accessory according to the Prime Master packaging: "Includes: figure and armor accessory".
And he's clear?

That also correlates with the detective work earlier on, showing there's no Decoy Suit in Blast Off's render either.
As for who may come with Repugnus, if I had to guess... Alpha Trion probably? He seems like the best "counterpoint" to Megatronus off the top of my head, and has bonus name recognition. (What I wouldn't give for a clear icy-blue Vector Prime with silver paint though...
)

Wildfly/Yokuryu, as seen on Cutthroat at whatever Toy Fair had all that candy corn IIRC. It's not necessarily clear proof of Dinoforce intent on its own, but it's 50/50 between Dinoforce and Monstructor, and combined with Snarl's previously-seen-but-not-actually-with-"Snarl" head gun thing, it definitely makes a strong case for Dinoking being considered if nothing else.

The Wildfly head on Cutthroat, shown at NYCC 2017. G1 Wildfly was used for Victory Yokuryu.
by the by, While it is a shame that Defensor's head was kept with Inferno, honestly we shouldn't be surprised. It's an unused CW Voyager Class pretool, and as shown with Battle Core Prime, Scattorshot and test shot Demolishor, they never change the Combiner heads.

Some of the prototype's we have seen have different tooling from the final product, take Cutthroat for example.
The final figure
Prototype with different head that resembles Wildfly.
Also Snarl has a different gun on Dino mode that looks more like Bristleback

Power of the Primes wave 2 Voyagers Elita-1 and Hun-Gurr, along with the wave 2 legends class figures, have popped up at US Walmarts. This means we can finally have a good look at the finished figures. Dorfsquest picked up Hun-Gurr and posted in-hand images, along with his thoughts on the figure, on the TFW2005 boards and we have included all that he has posted below.
This is our first look at Abominus' torso and combiner head sculpt (aside from artwork). Unlike the original G1 toy, the combiner chest plate is not an independent piece but instead already part of the toy and it can be seen all across the robot mode's back.
Here is what Dorfsquest had to say about the figure:
The pictures are below, let us know what you think of the toy and if you will be picking it up. We are currently looking for in hand images of Elita-1 and will be posting them once we find them.

Here is what Dorfsquest had to say about the figure:
Hun-grrr is a pretty solid figure though he isn’t without flaws... his fists in robot mode don’t really peg into place in a solid way, and his legs are hollow from behind, which I hate. Also, the decals applied to his outer thighs appear to cover some plastic details.
Positives - His two-headed dragon mode looks pretty good, and the torso mode snaps together very solidly. Overall I say he is worth picking up.

Hun-Garrth looks... not as terrible as I though he was going to. Those spindly little front legs are not good, but I like em better than what we'd seen of them before now. Hind legs are also significantly less of a mess now that we can see how they're meant to work, not with the fists sticking out awkwardly off the backs and trying to pretend like they're not there.
I am fully in love with torso mode though; those glasses are so wonderfully pointy! I may have to paint them red somehow, just to get the full Kamina going

I like that this Elita-1 will be more in scale with the recent Optimus Prime Generations figures (Both leader and voyager)
And honestly I like the red on her it sets her apart from Arcee a bit while keeping true to the character.
I'm gonna pick this one up even if she might come with foil stickers.

I’m so bothered by those stickers.
Out of the 7 original G1 combiners, Abominus will now be the only one I have with stickers.
So lame.
I guess there is always a chance for a Legends reissue someday.

Or, hey, since Slash is a raptor fembot anyway, let's just use her mold to make all four of the Raptoricons, regardless of how they'd all end up looking like each other instead of having the different body-types that they had in their first appearance.
Posted by Sabrblade on February 10th, 2018 @ 10:34pm CST
Or if they wanted a preexisting female raptor 'Con to turn Slash's mold into, any of the Raptoricons (Thrashclaw, Slice, Shred, and Gnash) would look well with color schemes of the Dinoforce's dino forms.Emerje wrote:I am calling it now, Dinoking will be a team of 4 deluxes + dark turquoise Grimlock as a torso and the ankylosaur is ignored.
Totally agree there, though if it's Hasbro and not a Takara Tomy Mall UW Exclusive I do wonder if they wouldn't create a new character out of Slash.

Why has that Terrorcon got a (faux?) rubsign? Also, I'm probably going to repaint and/or swap parts from Hotspot to make Fire Chief ( http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fire_Chief ).
I wish Hasbro would make a mainstream release of Medix and re-release Alpha Bravo, Rook, Streetwise (as Streetstar) and make versions of the extra Protectobots (red jet, yellow drill tank, etc) so that we could use them to make different versions of Defensor and Guard City respectively.

I think what we could do two months ago, was speculate and assume that Blast-off would come with Megatronus and that he would be clear plastic. Which is not what news articles are really for, to my knowledge.
Anyways that Hun-Gurr man. He's not half bad, which is about 50% better than I'd been fearing based on we'd seen before. Interesting that his torso mode appears to be basically a backwards Silverbolt-type torso; clever way to share the engineering without making that mode "just" a reshell.
Elita-1 is gonna be the main attraction here for me, though. From that one blurry image of her in a box, she actually looks really good! Keeping eyes peeled for more

Robotoyz don't got nothin' PotP-related so far, and that aside doesn't even seem to have Hasbro toys at all (this is at a glance at least). Mighty Ape has PotP Wave 1 up for preorder due out at the end of March. And both are overcharging horrendously ($55 for a Takara Legends Deluxe? $40 for regular TR Windblade?!).
So if I may speak on Burn's behalf as well, thanks, but no thanks. We'll wait, and we'll complain. And there's nothing you can do about it

Wow, I'm sorry for expressing my disappointment about the lack of PotP figures in my area!
Actually, you know what? I'm not sorry. I don't need someone like you getting up in my face telling me where I can order online, I'm well versed on where to find TF's online.
I'm waiting for them to turn up locally so I can support the local economy.
If you don't like me "moaning" about the lack of PotP figures around my area then here's a tip.
SCROLL ON
And telling me there's "sites for you colonials"? Fuck off mate, I have every right to post here just like you. And referring to me as a "pom" and a "colonial" is bordering on insulting me as I am neither. You're ignorance is clearly on display, I suggest you put it back into storage.

It does seem that, looking at the Google results, Australia seems as ill-served, Transformers-wise, as the Uk was when I lived there. Robotoys is more for non-Hasbro stuff (but it might be useful for other TFs). As for other TFs, how about BBTS and the other usual sites?
Failing that, you could always both get jobs in Japan and come and join the party.

I mean, whether functional or not, they are hollow for sure. And the Silverbolt/Scattershot mold had little flaps that at least pretended like they were helping the issue on those guys, IIRC. Hollow limbs don't bother me as much as they do others, but if it's not impossible to at least make the holes a little less obvious, I sure wouldn't have been opposed.

Hun-grr looks great in robot and torso mode. The dragon mode is alright, if his front legs were a little thicker, it would be better. I think Hasbro knocked one out of the park with this one.

Don't try to soften this, you have jumped to the conclusion that I am of British descent.

I am incredibly annoyed at the delay in these figures being released in Australia, and I'm not going to stay silent about it just because someone like YOU doesn't like it.
Well buckle up buckaroo, because I'm going to keep on whinging.
And to suggest I post on OzFormers? Answer me this primalxconvoy, why should I? Are you racist? Are you trying to segregate the Transformers fan community? Do you want fans to only associate with other fans from their "motherlands"?
You've made some incredibly annoying demands on this site over the last few months, but to come out and suggest I should take my "whinging pom" self to another website ... lol. nah mate, that ain't gonna happen. You're stuck with me.

Correct, we could tell it was most likely included since the colors were different from what we had seen before (the proper gray one), and it made sense to include it to tie in with Power of the Primes. It also looked clear on the package if you look around the edges.
I highlighted the interesting part. There isn't any way to connect a Prime Master to any of Blast Off's regular weapons so it seems more and more likely that he comes with a decoy suit. But Requiem Blaster is an interesting nod to the Aligned universe, but probably means it wont use the Bomb-Burst suit since it probably has a claw like Skullgrin. Probably Maybe a Metalhawk repaint? Seems tricky depending on how the molds are shared.
Hun-Gurrr is growing on me, but I'm not a big fan of the fake rubsigns on the Terrorcons.

I think what we could do two months ago, was speculate and assume that Blast-off would come with Megatronus and that he would be clear plastic. Which is not what news articles are really for, to my knowledge.

Description
Celebrate the Prime Wars Trilogy with this special edition Combiner Wars Decepticon Blast Off figure. It’s built with updated Combiner Wars molds and decorated in new colors. Plus, it’s the only Transformers figure that includes the clear Megatronus Prime Master figure. During the Prime Wars, Decepticon Blast Off knew he was superior to the Autobots. With the Megatronus Prime Master, the gap between him and other bots has widened. Now he can imbue his laser rifle with a fragment of the power of the Requiem Blaster, the weapon of Megatronus himself. This Deluxe Decepticon Blast Off is a 5.5-inch scale figure and comes with a 1.5-scale Megatronus Prime Master figure. The Decepticon Blast Off figure converts from space jet to robot mode in 15 steps. The Prime Master figure converts between robot and spark in 1 step. Transformers all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

This for sure! Seeingness is close-to-havingness; it sates my itch just a little bit. I guess the one benefit to being months behind is that we have time to find out what's good and bad about these toys before we have them staring us in the face - it's like a mandatory observation period before we're allowed to decide for ourselves. So... bring on the pics!
I'd thought of that the moment I saw his visor too!
Now I'm stuck in an internal struggle between "don't modify your toys" and "but red Kamina visor"; quite a dilemma to be sure.

Sigh, Burn, the stereotypical assumption amongst some of us Brits is that ALL Australians are from the UK originally. I know that REALLy isn't the case. If that makes you feel unhappy, then I apologise.
It wasn't an attack. I honestly have nothing against you. Yes, you DO have every right to complain. Also,I am sure that it would be pretty suicidal for me to attack anyone here at the boards, yet alone one, such as yourself, weilding the banhammer of the Primes.
It was for you to GET info from, not POST to. They have an "Australian Sightings" thread there that I though might be useful for you to check out POTP availability in Australia. Also, as you are Australian, I am not sure "racist" is the term? Isn't it "nationalist"? Plus, even if I DID want everyone segregated by country, then how would I justify moi being here? I am a Brit in Japan, posting on an (American?) site. I am sure I would be the first to go.
What's that got to do with the price of fish, or indeed, this thread?

Not unless the small gun was dropped, but got left on the back of the box. Hardly the first time things have shown up on the box that didn't come with the figure.
It'll just be strange having him come with a Prime Master he can't interact with in any way. At least the die cast Titan Masters could be used on the figures they came with.

Looking at what we can see of Blast off's Silhouette it's clear they are using the Takara mold. I find this a pity for 2 reasons. Firstly I thought when I saw it for UW that it looked a little, naff. I don't know I just didnt like it.
Secondly Steam Shield's Bot Foundry on Shapeways produced 3 add on bits for the Hasbro one: a new head, a new nosecone and a new set of wings plus a little add on to the feet to form boosters, it would've been easy to do that instead I think.

What seems easy to you is to them just an added expense they don't need.

It is funny how we can all read things differently and have different hopes, but to me
It just has a hole in the mold for the hand/foot to plug in.
Will be interesting to see what other characters they use gimmicks for that didn't originally have them after seeing a photoshop pic of an insecticon combiner. They could even do an evolution Bumblebbee to gold bug in the crazy world of toys.
