AotP Megatronus Box Gives First Look at Listed Titan Star Optimus Prime and Unlisted Liege Maximo

So this new Star Convoy is supposed to be a pre-mold for a new Powermaster Prime? If so I hope they do PM Prime correctly.

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 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.

Probably just (in the words of Thew) a "Space Whatever".

Now that we see what's on the side of the box, the Star Convoy figure is probably the thirteenth.

I don't care how the art on the new boxes looks. I'm just glad Hasbro has finally admitted that the 'plastic-free packaging' experiment has been a dismal failure. The plastic window lets you SEE the contents, and verify that your purchase hasn't been tampered with, or had bits and pieces stolen. Closed boxes with no windows, and boxes with small, open windows? Bad idea from the get-go, and most of us said so directly when they started doing it. Ah, validation - it feels nice sometimes to say "we told you so".

Friendly reminder.

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.

Megatronus looks utterly fantastic. This makes me excited for the Primes to come

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.

It's probably another trilogy, since Hasbro seems to like those now.

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.

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.

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.
