The box also appears like it might form a panorama of all the Prime statues as more are released and lined up together.
While we've had many iterations of Optimus Prime and Megatronus/The Fallen and even a few Star Convoy figures and homages this is our first proper Liege Maximo, our only other figure is the Prime Master paired with the Skullgrin decoy armor in Power of the Primes. His design is based on his appearance at the end of Marvel's G2 comic line, though maybe a little leaner.
What do you think of this teaser of two more upcoming Primes? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

As for Liege Maximo, I think it'll be like CE Straxus, we'll just get this one figure and they will be done with him. Hopefully they get the deco right.

I REALLY hope the art is based on an early design draft and the chest changes by the final figure. You can see the wheels on his arms so they still seem to be forming the cab, which makes the chest all the more confusing. They don't really resemble each other and you can even see what looks to be Hi-Q/Ginrai right there.

I wonder what sort of alt mode Liege will end up having.
I noted this on the Fallen thread, but all four of the Primes so far have been based on their first appearance (G1 Alpha Trion, Cybertron Vector Prime, Dreamwave The Fallen, G2 Liege Maximo). I wonder if this trend will continue for the remaining nine Primes?
I'm also curious who the thirteenth Prime will be. There could be an Optimus-inspired Arisen figure, Zeta Prime like in Transformers One, or, my personal pick, a Logos Prime figure.

Question is whether it is an actual Powermaster figure or is it a faux one molded onto the chest/cab? If the latter, then that's probably not the front of the cab in vehicle mode, much like the original.Emerje wrote:and you can even see what looks to be Hi-Q/Ginrai right there.

Probably just (in the words of Thew) a "Space Whatever".#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:I wonder what sort of alt mode Liege will end up having.
Now that we see what's on the side of the box, the Star Convoy figure is probably the thirteenth.#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:I'm also curious who the thirteenth Prime will be.

Well there's 7 in that list, which I assume is incomplete, Then if you add Star Convoy (8), and Liege Maximo (9), there's still 4 others, so its a *maybe* at this point.

It's probably another trilogy, since Hasbro seems to like those now.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Friendly reminder.o.supreme wrote:Are they releasing versions of all 13 Primes in 2025?

It would make more sense to be a G1 Prime as according to the story, it was G1 Prime revived with Star energy to become Star Optimus.
I'm more concerned about the statues being in scale, if so then Titan Star Optimus is going to have A LOT to live up to.

Don't forget Vector Prime. They put so many Primes into 2025 I don't think they'll be stretching AotP into three years. More likely the remaining 3 will be exclusives throughout the year. Only one that I think makes sense for 2025 is Nexus Prime after we get some Combaticons, unless they surprise us and treat them like pre-tools.

Why worry about the scale of the statues, they're statues, and in their own context aren't meant to be representative of the scale of the characters (or figures).

So Vector Prime is the "Buzzsaw" of this new era... (Legend scale Buzzsaw meant for TR, came out the series before at the end of CW)

I image they'll re-package Vector Prime at some point in 2025 or 2026 so he can be in "Age of Primes" packaging with his Brethren.

They could even give him a repaint to his Galaxy Force color scheme, his concept art color scheme, his Aligned color scheme, or his One color scheme

Not a doubt in my mind. Probably not in 2025 though since All the Voyager slots are taken with all new characters. He might have gotten moved to Legacy as part of the plan to only release 3 waves in a year instead of four now, we sort of ended up with a bonus Legacy United wave, even if Vector isn't in the last wave.

Ah ok, thought they might.

This is set to be a voyager figure. You'll let us know what you think.

It's weird, I'd have thought they'd want some synergy when they've just released a film all about the legacy of the Primes...

Side note, but always nice to get articulated fingers at Voyager scale.

Glyph wrote:Kind of interesting that the overall proportions are giving me slight TF One vibes - leggy! - but the details don't really seem to resemble the film Primes at all. Certainly there's no real resemblance to Prima there, though (given the note on possible alt mode) film Prima does have a helmet very reminiscent of Optimus' - if any details line up, the chest maybe reminds me a little of Zeta Prime's. Probably just coincidental though.

His hips seem to slide down for his alt mode and one of his legs is disconnected above the knee. With everything where it belongs I don't think the proportions will stand out much.

The squared off, blocky parts, like the arms, are a departure from most of Prima's rounded, knight-esque designs.

Its either a prototype or a test show, but does let us know it will have his removable shoulder gun and translucent mohawk in vehicle mode.
No opening grill though. Not that a spring loaded disk launcher was ever going to. be there, but you know the features would have been nice.
Need all of his repaints now.

We also have an image of a test shot of Armada Red Alert, coming within the same line. Unlike what many fans feared, it is a fully new mold AND it has a minicon port, which can be spotted around the back of the vehicle.
We thank Glyph and Overcracker for letting us know of these images.

A hover thing?

I didn't have much time, so I did what I could. I'll write you a credit in the news post.

Prima got 6 wheels. So a space truck or something like Kup. But the front profile reminds me of BBM Soundwave hover-crab thingamajig.

Looks like someone forgot to fold up the front bumper. You can see it on the underside of the vehicle mode.TF-fan kev777 wrote:There has to be a missing piece from the front of Prima's truck(ish) mode, right? What is there looks so unfinished like something is missing.


It's instead folded out and connected to the windshield in this robot mode pic, when it was folded away on the yellow test shot:

Yeah, just a random futuristic alien vehicle.

But based on what's revealed so far of Prima & Megatronus, I do wish the AOTP Primes have more unique designs than these regular, angular shapes. Oh well, at least they pair well with Legacy Cybertron Vector Prime and TR Alpha Trion.

I wonder if it will/can be retooled into Sentinel Prime. Or would Sentinel need his own mold.cloudballoon wrote:Updated image shows the alt mode more. It's more like a rover, somewhat like Siege's Ironhide/Ratchet but wider & flatter. It's look coherent at least and I'm fine with it. The bot mode looks good, love its size & finger articulation.

I really wish Hasbro will do the 13 right by each having their own molds. But being Cocks' Hasbro, I'm sure a few will be retooled, just wish it's not between the 13.

For someone who only cares about "shareholder values," and treat Hasbro as an IP farm, you KNOW it'll be endless DLCs, Microtransaction, Gotcha and Live Service reshell games/collabs from now on right?
I wouldn't bring my hopes up getting remasters/re-releases of WFC/FOC or Devastation, let alone Armada.
