Calling Novastar as her retool

I see they took some cues from Generations Arcee when it came to placing kibble.

F*beep*ing ninjas, man!

No but seriously good call. I'm hoping she's a bit more of a reshell, especially when it come to her vehicle. If only to make the two more apart beyond just a head and color swap.

I look at that alt mode and for some stupid reason the first thing that pops into my head is "Cybertron Clocker"

It's not for everyone, sure but I dig it. It will still be a massive wasted opportunity if she's not joined by her fellow teammates beside Fire Novastar.

She will be joining Chromia who has already been waiting a very long time for her friends.

I gotta have her. I'm really curious about what they'll do for Nova Star and any other upcoming surprises.

Oh right, Chromia DOES have a Generations toy remolded from a Prime Arcee, doesn't she? I always forget about that thing because it's a little goofy looking, being what it is. It's supposed to be a G1-ish/Generations toy but it has these body parts that scream TFPrime. It's so weird.

so will we have an all fembot combiner in power of the primes with elita-1 as the torso moonracer, firestar chromia and greenlight or another Arcee as limbs?

After having her in hand I think she is great and looks just as much g1 as this Moonracer does.

Chromia was a bit odd for mainline Generations TFs, but I like her. I didn't have her first incarnation, but I picked up her, Arcee and Windblade as part of the Combiner Hunters set.I can't wait to add Elita-1, Novastar, and Moonracer to the party.

Not bad! I was a bit worried the fembots would be compromised by the Combiner Wars bulky aesthetic the older toys had, but this is preety good! Though the combiner hand below her chest makes her look pregnant

I'm hoping for a NEW Combiner Chromia. I don't know which Femmebot from that episode is going to get left out of the combiner, but if I had to pick one, it would be Lancer, I guess.

I don't know. I think that Chromia is a must for Power of The Primes.

for a moment there i thought she was "pregnant". my regret for buying this toy: i sold my Classics Powerglide.

Lol! Aw, man. You beat my comment by 20 minutes.

Now that we are getting a proper Moonracer, I'd really go for a deluxe class Powerglide.

So I'd been playing with the idea of them doing a White Prime Ultra Magnus out of Leader Optimus in this line since Rodimus is getting the "evil" repaint.

I'd wondered what would happen to the inner robot if they did that. Minimus Ambus? Funpub Magnum? Dion? A total retool into an armored Magnus who becomes a giant white Prime as a bizarro Magnus?

Anyway, I uncovered something I never noticed before in the Wikis.

Orion Pax's design was originally supposed to be Ultra Magnus in the 1986 movie. The characters in the movie were supposed to be all "animation first, toy later" designs. I get the impression Hasbro bit off more than they could chew and opted for Powered Convoy from Diaclone as Magnus instead. (He originally was going to have the blue Optimus Diaclone deco which made it into trailers before they went with red, white, and blue.)

So, anyway, it turns out that when Magnus' original design was scrapped as the movie was being planned in 1985, the cartoon series swiped the design and recolored it as Orion Pax!

So Optimus' original "in-universe" form was an Optimus colored Ultra Magnus design. And then Ultra Magnus wound up being changed to be a recolored Optimus.

So there'd actually be some cool pedigree if they did redeco Leader Prime as Ultra Magnus.

Can I just point something out here? Why does her TOY look NOTHING like her box art??!?!??! Her box art shows her g1 look. The toy does not look like that! Wtf! Lol..

My money is on Ambus or Dion. Dion would be the easier of the two, given his generic design, and given that the only real part of the figure that will have to be white would be the head and faux window assembly. So, yeah, it's plausible.

Again, I'd prefer an Ambus figure though, I love his design in the comics and I'd love a better scaled one for my MTMTE crew.

I hope Greenlight and Lancer are coming in later waves too!

The Prime Armor accessory looks like a strapped on baby carrier. What a useless gimmick.

That was my first thought. The worst part is, you can put a titan/prime master in there and have her carry it for nine months.

Also courtesy of regular news source, through whatever means they may be deploying to do so, for upcoming Transformers toys on Weibo tf-factory, we have more images of the recently confirmed wave 2 (see here for our previous coverage) of Transformers Power of the Primes line - or in any case, the deluxes such as Dinobots Sludge and Snarl, Duocon Blackwing (who is not only compatible with Prime Masters, but also fellow Duocon Dreadwind, at least in jet modes), and Terrorcon Rippersnapper. All are wavemates of the previously seen Moonracer, as reported here.

You can check out all of the images below, and let us know what you make of the stock photography so far, and if any of these pique your interest at all, even at this initial state of 'first look'. Join the conversation in the Energon Pub, the Seibertron.com discussion boards!

No, they are TF wombs, so imagine the damage being done to millions of unborn Cybertronians every time a Power of the Prime combiner combines

Dreadwing and Darkwing aren't Duocons, a Duocon is a robot which transforms into two seperate vehicles. Dreadwing and Darkwing are combiners

Adimus Prime wrote:The Prime Armor accessory looks like a strapped on baby carrier. What a useless gimmick.

It sure is messing up those stock photos of those figures and looks terrible too. Snarl looks alright (I mean without that crap on his front and as far as a cheap looking Deluxe combiner wars limb version of him can look)

leokearon wrote:Dreadwing and Darkwing aren't Duocons, a Duocon is a robot which transforms into two seperate vehicles. Dreadwing and Darkwing are combiners

Hasbro's instructions for them label them (or at least their combined form Dreadwing) as Duocons.

It's backwards terminology, yes, but that's what the instructions say.

I wish Rippersnapper's arms changed between modes somehow. As is, it looks a little lazy.

The Prime Armor nonsense doesn't bother me. It doesn't add anything but doesn't take away either since you don't need to keep them on. I'm always a fan of more accessories rather than less (finger candy)

I really hope Blackwing's head looks better in person...

Hopefully we will get some stock images of the TFs after they have given birth

Dinobots look good (but Sludge neess to be bigger), Rippersnapper could use more more paint, and aside from the head, Blackwing will be great to put next to his buddy!

I don't mind Rippersnapper's hands it looks like he has Wolverine claws

RiddlerJ wrote:I wish Rippersnapper's arms changed between modes somehow. As is, it looks a little lazy.

He seems actually worse than his crummy G1 toy in that way since that had seperate beast/robot mode arms. This looks like all you do is tuck robot legs in to make butt, unfold beast legs, flip beast-head hood over and pretty much done. Not really much of a transformation.

Which is pretty much the same as his G1 toy, except you don't push in or out his tiny robot and still visible robot arms.

I feel like the claws in robot mode give him more character. He's a badass bipedal shark creature in alt mode and now in robot mode he can still live up to his name of ripping other bots apart.

Maybe if they were on hinges so I could decide if I wanted them out or not...

I'm still waiting for the Takara one with the Hydra and Buster Prime Master set
looks like i'll wait for Blackwing and Dreadwing then.

Yeah, the thought of having a gestalt with all the limbs being powermaster jets is über exciting. Will have a not-completely-identical but very unified look. FTW!!!

gothsaurus wrote:Yeah, the thought of having a gestalt with all the limbs being powermaster jets is über exciting. Will have a not-completely-identical but very unified look. FTW!!!

Aside from that, Dreadwing have G1 Decepticon insignias , and no signs of Movie insignias

now where's [B]attletrap?

I must have missed that. Did the prototypes sport movie logos?

AND heck yeah, Battletrap. I wanna see both those guys... even if we can't get cool triple changer retools for them at Voyager class.

gothsaurus wrote:I must have missed that. Did the prototypes sport movie logos?

Yeah, it looks kinda ugly when it's not the G1 Decepticon insignia.

I can’t wait for Battletrap hopefully we get a Flywheels.

Rippersnapper is Logan incarnate?

"Does this Prime-Armor make me look fat?"

Do those Dinobots have actual gold plastic? Not just gold painted clear plastic?

You and me both. I'd like the 2 vehicles into 1 robot thing for them finally. and they proved with Overlord and Sky Shadow that they can do it really well.

As for now, my duocon pair is represented by these 2. Whom I will still keep to go with their 2 legends class combiners fellows should they both happen

I'd forgotten about that amazing Botcon Battletrap. And while I understand some people's mixed feelings about the club, there are so many shining moments looking back in hindsight... and Battletrap's definitely one of them. (Between Botcon and TFCC, that's around 25 often obscure toys per year. I'll miss that... and wonder what we might have gotten during Power of the Primes. BUT I digress.)

I'd totally buy a Flywheels repaint of Blitzwing if they released one.

Overlord would also be a duocon

Damn, Moonracer is looking good! I'll definitely pick her up. The "pregnant mode" is a wash though. I guess we'll have to wait for the MP for an accurate, smooth, rounded pregnant belly.

All pregnancy jokes aside though, the "armour" mode looks ridiculous on everyone. A backpack would have made more sense, or even a shield. Or, you know, an improved version of the HFG formula. This just seems a bit daft.

Anyway, the Dinobots look decent in construction but between the cheap looking paint apps and the worrying abundance of clear plastic structural parts I'll probably pass.

Darkwing or whatever you want to call him (Why didn't they just call him Darkwind and the other dude Dreadwing again?) looks decent. Not amazing, and the headsculpt looks a bit iffy, but decent.

Rippersnapper though? Right on the mark! I love him. Hopefully the rest of DaBombinus comes out looking that good. And gets released properly over here.

I have Swoop, Slug and Slash so far, and honestly, I don't think the clear plastic is going to cause much of an issue on Swoop or Slug. Slash is the one that worries me a little since it is her cockpit door, and well, Wolfwire.
