This new collector-oriented line explores the mythology of The Thirteen Primes, introducing figures like Leader Class Onyx Prime, a triple-changing centaur, and Deluxe Class Alchemist Prime, a powerful scientist with a unique Artifact accessory. Fan-favorite characters also join the lineup, including Deluxe Class Decepticon Crasher and Combaticon Vortex, the latter of which can combine with other Combaticons to form Bruticus. Hasbro also debuted a Void Rivals 3-pack inspired by the popular Energon Universe comic series, featuring an 11-inch Autobot Jetfire alongside Solila and Darak, plus a special variant comic cover.
These reveals showcase Hasbro’s ongoing commitment to blending classic Transformers lore with modern storytelling, giving fans and collectors new ways to expand their Transformers universes.

Hopefully I can get that Jetfire without a lot of hassle, he actually looks better than the original release.
Posted by Big Grim on March 3rd, 2025 @ 4:13am CST
I might be able to get Crasher now! Yay!
I do wish I could get the Void Rival characters by themselves. I don't need another Jetfire and I don't dig that deco on him either.

Alchemist's weapon on the left side has the Ancient Autobot/Prime symbol and on the right has the Herald of Unicron/Blentron symbol.

Vortex looks alright as well, though a bit choppy. Not being into Bruticus all that much the Combaticons don't really show up on my list of wants. I might have considered getting them if they weren't coming in the exact same year as Devestator and Superion. I'm already tapped out on Combiners for the year...
Onyx is definitely different and that makes him a tad more interesting but I feel like he's too different for me. And being that it's not a character I follow or need it's an easy pass. Ratbat and Ramhorn coming with Perceptor has always bugged me, the line doesn't need another release of him this soon for starters. Ramhorn specifically looks almost as bad if not worse than Steeljaw, IMO, so that's why this immediately became a total pass. I was torn on Steeljaw but that was only a $12 risk, I sure as heck not paying almost $40 for a bot I already have just to get it. I'm also not a big fan of Ratbat so that's not an incentive either.
I think I'll just try to hunt down the Masterpiece or 3rd party versions for both Steeljaw and Ramhorn, and probably Ravage too if this is any indication of what a new one would look like.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on March 3rd, 2025 @ 12:09pm CST
Alchemist looks more like Prime Bulkhead than the legacy Prime Bulkhead. Now give us the cyberverse new head repaint.
Vortex looks really good. I am tempted by him, but I will wait for a G2 version.
I have Crasher, glad others can get her now too.
Ironfist looks great, Carnivac a bit of a disappointment so far.
I am so annoyed that I will need to buy that Jetfire again for the Void Rivals characters.
the SS86 and Devastation guys are a pass

Thank you, yes, this, I was just going to say this. Though the abs looks more like Animated's grill abs.
Still give me a bulkhead head and I'm all over this mold.
Interesting the Studio Series Devastation 2-pack gets 2 brand new Primal styled swords (not Kingdom's) for the Elite Seeker and a small sword for the car drone.
Sad Excellion and Noisemaze are Walmart exclusives. Will make it hard for those not in the US to get them.

Hard saying since they haven't come up with a specific lore yet for this line and everything we think we know about any of them comes from a bunch of different iterations. He likes his alcohol, for all we know his weapon is literal beer goggles.

Wreck 'N Doom Collection: Fisitron & Carnivac 2-Pack
Revealed during Hasbro's Toy Fair presentation, the Wreck 'N Doom Collection delivers a surprising team-up between two fan-favorite characters — the Autobot Fisitron (better known to some as Ironfist) and the Decepticon beast warrior Carnivac. This 2-pack celebrates the long-running Wreckers and Mayhem Attack Squad rivalry, bringing both characters into the modern Generations ecosystem.
Fisitron transforms from robot to off-road vehicle in 15 steps, while Carnivac shifts from robot to wolf in 18 steps — and Carnivac even includes a transforming Headmaster-style Survivor figure! Both characters feature blaster accessories and full articulation for dynamic posing.
Price: $49.99
Pre-order: Available exclusively on Amazon, with limited stock on Hasbro Pulse
Release Date: Fall 2025
Deluxe Class Alchemist Prime
One of the legendary Thirteen Primes finally arrives in plastic form! Alchemist Prime is one of the ancient architects of Cybertron's destiny, and now fans can add him to their collections as a fully articulated Deluxe Class figure.
Alchemist Prime transforms from robot to a Cybertronian armored car in 17 steps and comes equipped with his signature Lenses Artifact, which splits into two pieces. This figure brings one of Cybertron's mythic founders to life, perfect for building out your Age of the Primes display.
Price: $24.99
Pre-order: Available at Amazon, Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers
Release Date: Fall 2025
Deluxe Class Decepticon Crasher
Making a high-speed entrance into the Age of the Primes line, Decepticon Crasher continues her transformation from Gobots icon to full-fledged Transformers character. Crasher converts from robot to sleek sports car in 18 steps and comes with two blaster accessories that work in both modes.
Crasher's appearance at Toy Fair was a standout surprise, continuing her growing presence in the Generations line. Whether you know her from her Gobots roots or her more recent Decepticon lore, she's ready to race into your collection.
Price: $24.99
Pre-order: Available now at Amazon, Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers
Release Date: Fall 2025
Deluxe Class Combaticon Vortex
The Combaticons are back! Revealed alongside the rest of Age of the Primes, Vortex brings the Combaticon aerial specialist into the spotlight. This Deluxe Class figure converts from robot to helicopter in 19 steps and is fully compatible with other Combaticon figures to form a new version of the classic Bruticus combiner (other figures sold separately).
With Toy Fair confirming the Combaticons' return, Vortex is the first piece of the puzzle, giving fans a fresh take on the iconic team.
Price: $24.99
Pre-order: Available now at Amazon, Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers

What is Age of the Primes?
Age of the Primes is Hasbro's newest Transformers Generations subline, built around the mythology of The Thirteen Primes — the first Cybertronians who wielded unimaginable power and shaped the entire Transformers universe. Each figure in this line either represents one of the Primes themselves or ties into their far-reaching influence, bringing together characters from across Transformers history into a shared narrative.
From ancient legends like Alchemist Prime to classic warriors like the Combaticons, Age of the Primes is shaping up to be a celebration of every era of Transformers storytelling.
Pre-Orders Now Open
With Toy Fair's reveals fresh in fans' minds, all four of these new Age of the Primes figures are available for pre-order right now. Whether you're a Wreckers die-hard, a Combiner collector, or a fan of Transformers deep lore, this wave has something for everyone.

The CW version of Bruticus was OK, but in the end it was really just remolds of the Protectobots. And that's not good enough in the end - the Combaticons and Bruticus need original molds/figures.
Here's hoping they don't do to Brawl what they did in CW, with that horrible floppy waist/hinge....

Hopefully the rest of them aren't as difficult to get ahold of as the Stunticons. Still looking for a Dead End for mine.
Also, hopefully Blastoff is a shuttle from the get go, instead of getting a jet mode and then a super limited exclusive shuttle version down the road like CW.

Not to revel on some guys' loss of employment, but that may be a good thing.

The decision was made as we learned later, due to CW being on such a strict budget. That's why most of the Voyagers were a retool of Silverbolt and there were really only 4 unique limb molds.

Every time this gets a new official mention, I get my hopes up for this design being redecoed mostly mint green with a little white for a wide release. That'll probably happen when I finally get around to repainting the one that's been on my workbench almost 2 decades.william-james88 wrote:Sideways – The mysterious descendent of Liege Maximo

Leige Maximo makes so much sense for Sideways
Also, its so weird seeing Excellion referred to as a legend of Cybertron feels so bizarre given that the character never appeared in the cartoon or its comics, and his only appearance in any media is a text-only story from Timelines

It might be a subtle wink to the old "Legends of Cybertron" Hot Shot toy, specifically the red version that used Excellion's deco but was inexplicably still named "Hot Shot" instead, as though referring to him as such now is trying to make up for that little goof and finally give him his due respect.#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:william-james88 wrote:Sideways – The mysterious descendent of Liege Maximo

Scale is out the window with the Combaticons anyway.
Even if they make Blast Off a Jet, it's still widely out of scale with a Tank, a Jeep and a Helicopter regardless.
Just let him be a totally off scale Shuttle and we'll be fine.

Whoa, that's a deep reference.
You're likely right, though, as I think that's too specific to be coincidental.

Same! I'm comparing him to my GF original, and there are very minute differences I'm really spotting now. Interesting that in the stock photos the backpack is kept up.

Slingshot is awesome. I have only two complaints: he cannot look up at all and his heels/back of foot. Another hinge was needed or something, but I know, blah blah, not in the budget. Otherwise perfect, looks like he jumped off the screen.
Waspinator was my first time handling this mould as I didn't like Animated Bee enough to buy and was waiting on Wasp. Very glad I did, as he is amazing. This small of a figure has wrist swivels and the rest of the articulation all over that deluxe scale and up should, but importantly he can look all the way up, wonderful.

Megatronus the Fallen
One of the original Thirteen Primes, Megatronus is a dark and powerful figure who eventually becomes The Fallen. He is known for his betrayal and for killing Solus Prime, an act that led to his exile. This figure captures his menacing look and transforms into a Cybertronian tank.
G2 Universe Grimlock & Autobot Wheelie
This Leader Class release features Grimlock in his Generation 2 blue and gold color scheme, a throwback to the 1990s toy line. He transforms into a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex and includes a small, non-transforming Autobot Wheelie figure that can ride on his back.
G2 Grimlock does not have a full video review at the moment
Prima Prime
The first Transformer created by Primus, Prima is the Warrior of Light and the original wielder of the Matrix of Leadership. This figure represents him as a heroic and noble character with a design that emphasizes his mythic origins.
Red Alert (Armada Universe)
Based on the character from Transformers: Armada, this figure modernizes Red Alert’s design while keeping his emergency rescue vehicle alt mode. He features sculpted details inspired by his original incarnation and is a treat for Unicron Trilogy fans.
Solus Prime
The Prime of Creation, Solus Prime is revered for her ability to forge weapons and artifacts used by the other Primes. This figure includes a stylized forge hammer and a sleek, powerful look that reflects her important role in Cybertronian mythology.
Air Raid
A member of the Aerialbots, Air Raid transforms into a jet and is known for his brash, reckless flying style. This figure captures his G1-inspired colors and simplified design suitable for younger fans or collectors looking to complete their Aerialbot team.
Slingshot
Another core member of the Aerialbots, Slingshot transforms into a jet and is known for his arrogant and loud personality. This version stays close to his G1 roots and complements the rest of the team for a potential combiner display.
Wasp (Animated)
Before he became Waspinator, Wasp was a cadet in the Autobot Academy in Transformers: Animated. He was falsely accused of being a Decepticon spy by Bumblebee and imprisoned, which began his path toward madness. This figure represents him in his pre-Waspinator form, with a unique green and black color scheme and a stylized alt mode.

And only because the 13 don't really interest me that much, I only like a few of the designs so probably won't get them all anyway. If not for getting a rebate on said purchase I would have waited for a sale on Amazon or something for this particular character.
My most anticipated figure as of now would have to either be Silverbolt or Air Raid.

Also...
I can't believe that DELUXE Transformers now cost over 50$CAN.
I miss the old CHUG / Unicron Trilogy days...
