First Look at Art for Solus Prime, G2 Grimlock, Wasp and More from Age of the Primes

Fantastic stuff. Especially the Aerialbots and Star Convoy.

That does seem likely - the right leg looks to be a hollow frame since we can see the guy's arm through it, and the right arm is similarly pretty thin even though the black on it initially made me think it was Air Raid.

Left arm appears to be Slingshot and left leg is presumably Air Raid, which I believe are their most typical positions (and the ones listed on the wiki, which we know gets used as reference).

Silverbolt looks surprisingly squat on his own in that pic, almost like his legs are mistransformed (unlikely?), though it could just be the pose being hard to read through the blur.

Trying to work out what's behind Silverbolt on the table - could be extra Superion parts that aren't directly part of his jet mode?

TFW2005 have just posted three more pictures from the Cybertron Con display, including a non-blurry version of the Silverbolt/Superion pic!

Clear version of the Silverbolt/Superion shot - this confirms the "skeleton" structure:


Skinny Superion, Silverbolt, and Silverbolt's drum kit extra Superion parts:

Centaur Onyx Prime!

Much clearer view of the Star Convoy box art, with Primes head shots (note Alchemist/Maccadam):



G2 Grimlock & Wheelie:



A-ha, group shot of the wave 1 lineup. That gives us a size comparison for the smaller "Titan" Star Convoy. Also gives us a view of Star Convoy's base mode in the back:

As cool as all the new reveals are ... I'm gonna stick to my guns and only get the stuff I really want.

Superion looks 100% better than the UW I already have. But I do already have that one. And if I replace him then I have to be on board to replace Menasor, Defensor, AND Bruticus. That's 20 guys. I held off on Menasor so I'll hold off on Superion too. Looks great. I guess that's one way to handle all that combiner bulk! Even if the end product is better I dunno. It's a mass of parts that don't do much outside the robot.

Having Super Megatron makes Star Convoy really tempting. I already have the G1 reissue. NGL, it's tempting. He comes with a tiny Hot Rod too? That almost cinches it.

The 13 are also tempting, but I want to be selective there too. Alpha Trion, surely. Liege Maximo probably. I'll probably pass on the rest.

Wasp. So the prophecies came true at last. I'll nab that guy. I feel way more connected to him than most of the 13, TBH.

Is that story book Wheelie? It looks like Wheelie done up in his colors from that picture book / his prototype colors. Kinda neat, but not enough for a buy.

I think you're right about that overall, but I'm wondering if Onyx' centaur form is his alt mode (Willis suggested the same). His bipedal form in the statue group kind of looks like his centaur legs are folded over his shoulders?

Solus Prime and Prima in the plastic:

Star Optimus all modes - including dinky Hot Rod and MT-13 (Micro Trailer #13 - presumably both for The Thirteen, and because there were 12 other Micro Trailers in the Return of Convoy line but the one that came with the original Star Convoy had no number):

A SS86 Grimlock repaint that come with the Wheelie accessory?

IMPOSSIBRU!
