Hey Seibertronians -- remember those jaw-dropping reveals from Cybertron Con and Hasbro’s 1027 event? Well, it’s almost time to clear some shelf space, because the next wave of Transformers figures is rolling out this spring and it is stacked with fan-favorites, deep lore cuts, and Constructicon goodness!

Whether you're building your personal pantheon of Primes or just hyped to finally finish Devastator (with screen-accurate Scrapper, no less), this wave is pure fire.

Let’s break it down Prime-by-Prime, bot-by-bot.




TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF THE PRIMES DELUXE CLASS THE THIRTEEN SOLUS PRIME
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $24.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, and other participating retailers.

She's the myth. The legend. The creator. Solus Prime forges her way into the Deluxe Class with a hammer that would make Mjolnir blush. Converts to a Cybertronian armored car in 28 satisfying steps and brings serious Prime energy to your display. Bonus points for finally adding more powerful women to your shelf.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF THE PRIMES LEADER CLASS THE THIRTEEN MEGATRONUS THE FALLEN
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $54.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, and other participating retailers.

This dude is pure chaos. Megatronus, a.k.a. The Fallen, is here in glorious Leader Class scale -- because when you’re the edgiest of the Thirteen, you don’t show up small. Converts into a tank (of course) in 38 steps and comes ready for battle with a requiem blaster, staff mace, and more accessories than most third-party upgrades. Dark lore? Check. Shelf presence? Double check.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF THE PRIMES VOYAGER CLASS THE THIRTEEN PRIMA PRIME
(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $34.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, and other participating retailers.

The original. The noble one. Prima Prime is rocking Voyager Class glory and comes with the Star Saber AND the Matrix of Leadership. That’s right -- he’s bringing the artifacts and the attitude. Converts into a Cybertronian truck in 20 steps and has that stoic leader energy you can feel through the packaging. Absolutely Prime-tier.

(HASBRO | Ages 8+ | MSRP: $24.99 | Spring 2025)
Available at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, Walmart, and other participating retailers.

Converts into a bulldozer in 16 steps and is your first Constructicon stepping stone to the long-awaited Devastator combo. He’s angry. He’s poseable. He’s perfect.

So far, I have found Prima, Red Alert, and Wasp. Still looking for Solus, G2 Grimlock, and Megatronus.

Prima is much more interesting in hand than in photos, though his alt mode is pretty boring. But as a robot, he rules. I also love that he can actually draw the star saber from his back.

Red Alert is nice and dense, and I appreciate the updates they made so his alt mode is closed up in the back and his legs are better, though I feel some loss with the big gap in gimmicks.

Wasp is pretty neat, I like this mold, and in these colors it is really nice

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised how much of that leaked lineup appeals to me, the only bots there I'm guaranteed passing on are Quintus and Powerglide. Every other figure there is either a guaranteed pickup or a wait-and-see.

Also, just like the Studio Series listings, there's a few open slots still:
aotp year 2 holes.jpg
Once again, the grey spots are spots that aren't guaranteed to be a missing figure, since we do get waves with only 3 Deluxes from time to time, and this also isn't accounting for any potential triple Voyager waves like the current Sentinel-Ironhide-Scrapper wave since there's zero guarantee that'll actually happen again.

We're supposed to be getting Seaspray this year as a Walmart exclusive in another wave of the same capsule as Retro Bee and Gears.

Big Grim wrote:No Aerialbots? So we'll have Bruticus and Superion missing two limbs each?

The last two Aerialbots are Wave 3 this year, and Vortex is actively up for preorder right now.

Everyone wrote:Swindle?
Yeah the Swindle thing is weird, since he was originally leaked as a Deluxe before getting pushed back to "a later wave" in favor of Vortex, and now his fellow leg is a Voyager....maybe the promotion from Deluxe to Voyager is why he got pushed back?

#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:Similarly, the last G1 Cliffjumper was in 2022, so perhaps he could be Animated (using the Bumblebee mold) or even Energon
The listing already says it's Prime CJ, so it's either a rerelease of the one from the Legacy 4-pack or possibly a Terrorcon repaint? I'm personally just hoping it's a straight rerelease.

Yup.

But it would most likely be part of a 2 pack or a 3 pack, exclusive to Amazon or whatnot. I wonder who his box partner(s) would be? :-?

They could do like the did with the Puffer/Road Ranger two pack, and give two versions of the same mold. Bad Boy and Viper.

Oh yeah, Viper. I can see that happening. ;)^
There were also 3 more Gobot-Minibot repaints that were only in the FunPub Timelines materials that we'll soon have all the molds for if they wanted to do another big multipack: Buggyman from Beachcomber, Rest-Q from Hubcap, and Man-O-War from Seaspray.

Not gonna lie though, Viper is like the only thing I care about getting from any given Powerglide mold, Bad Boy's a skip for me if he ain't in a multipack.

Something to keep in mind about Brawl being a Voyager is that when he's a leg he basically folds in half (or maybe a third?) so He can be a large tank but still the same height as Swindle when both are legs. Likewise as a bot the whole front of the tank becomes his chest so he can still be roughly the same size as the others in bot mode and still be a good sized tank. Granted, the Swindle toy also folds the front down, but the cartoon model doesn't.

Image

I'm thinking the leg frames will be similar to the other two combiners and Swindle will just pop into the back in full Jeep mode and close a door leaving the tires exposed out the back (like a backwards Menasor leg), but Brawl will fill in the gap himself without a door since his turret needs to stick out the front.

Swindle will probably be the missing figure in wave 2 and I think we'll see Vortex return in wave 3. Maybe they can do a PR of Breakdown in wave 3, too since the design team keeps complaining about his scarcity but not actually doing anything about it.

Side note. Anyone else hoping the unlabeled Smokescreen is the TFPrime character? That'd open us to Aligned Prowl and Barricade as well.

Ah, I misread and thought 'Prime' referred to the 'Age of the Primes' line, rather than the series

I'm pretty underwhelmed by AoP Red Alert. He's o.k, but nothing jumps out at me as great. He's just fine. >:oP

It may be I own the original and like the other features including the lights and sounds and the firing gimmicks. Also, the tiny clamp missile is just asking to be lost.

I guess it's just not all that when you have the original.

If you don't now the original, and never interacted with it, then I guess he's a decent update.

I'd probably only buy it again if they gave us the Sam's Club 2-pack Prowl and Starscream.

and I'd likely only buy the set for Starscrheen in the maroon and gray. :-D

Oh crap! Select Trypticon showed up two months early at BBTS! :shock: I was thinking about checking out a vintage toy show this Friday but not any more! This is probably more worth my time, though, I went to the same show two years ago and it wasn't that great, not worth the hour drive. Plus there's one about 10 minutes from me at a local college this summer.

Anyway, yeah, if you pre-ordered Trypticon you may want to check your email.

To be fair, for the past 2-3 years Walmart has been insistent for some reason on revealing a percentage of their subline in March and then not showing the rest of it until it's basically on shelves already, so the fact that only those two have been shown yet doesn't mean the rest aren't coming. This same time last year we were still confused why we were supposedly getting two different Thundertrons and why all we'd seen of Road Pig was his arms.

The lead designer on Transformers Age of the Primes toys, Marc Maher, has been posting images of the uocoming 13 Primes. His latest post is for Alchemist Prime and there’s lots of fun photos to share. We also included the previous post on Onyx Prime. Enjoy!

Let me introduce a powerful yet humble member of the 13 primes, Alchemist Prime is ready to grace your shelf with his divine and handsome presence! Move over and make some room, this guy exudes clear the path vibes even though he’d probably be the most enjoyable of the primes to just hang out with.
.
Tomo san really flexed his creative muscles on the transformation sequence of the mighty McAdams. Not to mention this guys proportions are incredibly unique and a rarity amongst many TF toys.
.
All the more reason to pour yourself a chalice of energon and lets get into the deets. I utilized the main inspiration for this guy from the McAdams,hmm I mean @toygrind appearance in cyberverse. I sprinkled in the covenant unique Prime esk shape designs but all the while thinking of the comic bartender apperance. The mustache and head sculpt might be my favorite aspect but the colors hit hard in hand, not to mention the easter eggs riddled all over his awesome artifact The Lenses! Which we increased the scale and made them split to become daggers, the idea here is that he would be able to utilize his mystical powers of the elements to change the weapons into any heated metal or even iced out adamantium or whatever and wherever your imagination takes you.
.
I always imagined his vehicle mode to be somewhat of a cybertronian all terrain vehicle. You can extend out his feetsies to urilize the 5 mm ports for a lil high speed action.
.
What I wouldn’t give to sit at a cybertronian pub and drink an energon pint and listen to wonderful stories of early cybertron and Alchemists outlook on life. Lets here the modules tune in their optics to sound off the details they see in the Lenses down below”

“At last, Onyx Prime has decided to grace your presence with his divinne beast kingdom glory! All behold the Triptych Mask artifact that has unique powers and will be welded to defeat any who oppose him. It is my great pleasure to bring this prime to your Age of the Primes toy generations collection at none other than leader scale at that!
.
As always, huge shouts out to Shu san from Takara Tomy, my beast wars brethren who always turns it up on these out of the box characters.
.
I really seasoned this spicy character with all sorts of cooking love. Shout out to @ken_christiansen_art and @aaronarcherofficial for putting the early look of this dude together. I even got a lil love from @marcelomatere on how techno-organic should I go on his tail…which did I mention, I made it a cool bow and the mask has been upgraded to a wicked spear/arrow! Went wild beast mode on the sculpt, threw in eagle references, horse references, gargoyle references all sorts of spikes, horns, and angular cybertronian angles, WOOF ! Colors were a challenge but I feel I dialed in the tones enough to get that good contrast, the metallic hits hard in hand!
.
The multitude of abilites on this guy, phew…really just bewildered by this beast, lemme see if I can give ya the quick Marky shake down. The front hoofs in centaur mode can be cascaded around his beefy shoulders, you have a wide array of versatility in between centaur and beast mode, his head can be transformed into a more beasty look for centaur mode but can be left upward to showcase his wide array of optics in robot mode. His spear has many different places for all sorts of cool poses and storage, his wings have a great range of articulation which I tried to showcase here.
.
I’m just very proud that I could help bring these 13 primes to life. Alchemist Prime, pass me a cool glass of energon and lets talk over some tings!”

Got a JTPrime17 leak update that's slightly more coherent that the nonsense I just threw together in the Studio Series thread, here we go:
-The Deluxe Swindle from this year got shunted to next year, he is STILL a Deluxe in spite of Brawl's Voyager status (which does help Bruticus sneak into the designer's stated "complete combiner in a year" window)
-We are only missing a single Deluxe, a single Leader, and the Titan, no missing Voyagers
-Allegedly last JT saw, Vector Prime was stated to get "a new retailer exclusive variant", but this also directly contradicts Evan from the design team saying that all 13 Primes would get mainline releases within AotP's two-year span, unless there's gonna be two different back-to-back Vector Prime releases (and also somehow Vector is a Leader now in order to actually fit in either the mainline holes or this year's Cybertron capsule?)

So with that in mind, we're now here:

Feels like Maximo would more likely be the Leader, but what if it actually is Vector and they pull a Thundertron and add a Safeguard and, I don't know, maybe a Core class Kronoform.

I'm guessing Vector Prime's Legacy release is the "mainline release", even though it's not within AotP's two-year span. Perhaps Evan was intending to communicate that all remaining 13 Primes would be released within the two-year span?

Regarding the remaining releases, I'm guessing that Liege Maximo is the leader (Though its possible that he's the titan)

Personally, I would hope for Animated Omega Supreme as the Titan, though Primus may be more fitting with it being both a 13-Primes themed line and the 20th anniversary of Transformers: Cybertron.

Wave 2 of the AotP figures are being found on shelf in some markets already. Good for them, but it's kind of an insult to the people who pre-ordered on Pulse. The Pulse website is still saying that we won't see our pre-ordered and reserved copies of Vortex for another six MONTHS. Hasbro has a wonky distribution system, combined with Pulse having perhaps THE worst 'early access' in existence.

I experienced similarly with Leader Megatronus, and the Aerialbot deluxes. Pulse was saying I wouldn't see them until at least July. The minions stumbled across them on shelves two weeks ago. Having to cancel all those pre-orders, because Hasbro can't get their act together, would make me roll my eyes in their sockets if I had any soft tissue...

Posted by Till-all-R1 on April 14th, 2025 @ 10:50am CDT
I consider preorders as simply safety nets anyway, to make sure I get it in case I never come across anything I'm after in stores. Which tends to be 85% of the time, or I've already got it in the main before I see it on shelf.

But in a way that can't be good for Pulse in general if they keep getting cancelations as it might affect how much they order. Especially if they have to sell too much stock during their liquidation sales.

Yeah I always thought this was the idea behind pre-orders. You're ordering in advance to make sure you get it, not getting early access to it.

When you pre-order a video game, for example, you generally get it at the same time as everybody else, you're just ensuring that one is available for you/doesn't sell out.

It's just a win-win arrangement between the company and consumer. The company is guaranteed sales prior to release, and the consumer is guaranteed to get the product. Insurance on both ends.

With the newly leaked image on the instruction pamphlet for Vortex, I'm very anxious to get a better look at this new version of Bruticus. While I'm fine with the new combining system of making the torso bot a Commander Class figure with addition parts, I'm specifically curious about a couple of the design aspects-- will the chestplate be a gray, generic shape, or will it be the cartoon accurate one that shares Blast-off's colors? Will the feet be mustard and green to appear to be parts of Swindle and Brawl, or will those be generic-looking gray parts?

I was pleasantly surprised with the look of AotP Superion, and I'm hoping that Bruticus is just as good.

It looks like the actual toy of Vortex separates differently than the instructions show.

In anticipation for the new combiners from both SS and AotP, I've been taking a little time to watch reviews of the limb bots, re-look at photos, etc.
While I'm still of the opinion that this new Superion will be better than my UW version, one thing that I'm surprised at is the missed opportunity with the front lower legs of the combined mode...
I'm not saying the blue paint apps were in the budget, or even how the red and black were distributed, but why those sections weren't designed/molded to match the cartoon model more closely... Both legs are identical. Both designs (which I know are representing the front of the torsos of the two leg bots) are symmetrical. How or why the cartoon design, or at least most of it, wasn't used is just baffling to me... Especially knowing that this new Superion is an attempt at cartoon accuracy. The designer(s) didn't need to invent anything new; even though the cartoon design in these areas maybe couldn't have been 100% replicated in toy-form, why not use the source material? They surely could have created something very, very close.

Then it's difficult to know if it would have been possible, but the two vertical black parts that run down each side of the forefoot... Really wish those could have been the same light gray color as the rest of the foot. That being broken-up just doesn't look good.

It almost looks like the leg doors are upside down compared to the animation model.

He's wave 2, but his release lines up with wave 3 so it's going to be a while.

Just received Bone Crusher and Scrapper today and I was a bit shocked at their size. It doesn't help that the last time I owned a Constructicon was in the 80's and am used to the older version, but gee that was an eye opener for me. I'm now not sure I want to continue getting them all. lol
Simply for display space reasons, having six of these guys eats up a lot of room compared to the smaller ones. Not to mention having them all form Devestator, he's going to be ginormous compare to the G1 figure and I don't have very tall shelves in my cabinet. 13" height which is also why I passed on the Titans. I just barely fit Firestorm in there.

I was really looking forward to these guys too which kind of saddens me about this dilemma. I was already feeling the size realization with Air Raid that I received about a week ago and this revelation just added to that. I'm not saying that I didn't know they'd be larger, I expected them to be but it just wasn't a tangible thing I could see until now. If I do continue then I definitely cannot even consider other combiners in the future.

Onto the positive side, they do look good despite Bone Crusher appearing quite "chunky". I think I prefer the aesthetics on the Scrapper more in that regard, doesn't look as much like a burly hunk. And they green definitely stands out now on these more than it did on the originals. I don't know why or what it is that makes it seem that way, maybe the size combined with lighter color shade. At least with Scrapper the purple body helps break up that solid color. Air Raid too looks great.

Slingshot is reportedly on the way as is Megatronis which will pretty much bring me caught up with Preorders leaving only Solus Prime, and Hook/Long Haul.

I didn't even question the post being in this thread. They're different lines in name only at this point. I could even make an argument for throwing the Aerialbots into SS86. A bad one, but an argument nonetheless.

And then Hasbro wonders why everyone is so upset when wave 3 of 2025 SS is nowhere to be seen because everything is AOTP wave 1 and A Level mixed up on all the pegs. They did not think this through. If fans can't tell the difference how are non-fans stocking shelves? As it is I had to take a peg's worth of Star Wars figures off the AOTP peg at Walmart the other day.

Speaking of which...My apologies if this quesiton seems a bit absurd, but I havent purchased a TF at standard retail in a while. Since SS and AotP share the same packaging now...are they being shipped together? The reason I ask is I've experienced a similar situation at 3 different walmarts in my area. Each of the 3 had about 8 of the TF One BB's, 8 of the Devastation Primes,and One AotP Wasp. No Aerialbits or Solus at all.

Prime and Bee are in solid cases of their own, that's why you're seeing so many of each of them. They're the 2025 A Level releases like TFOne Prime and SS86 Bumblebee last year. You'll be seeing them on shelves all year. Wasp just isn't as popular as the rest of the PotP figures so he's usually the last to go.

^Thank you. Makes sense. I just didnt know if with the new reduced amount of product hasbro is putting out if they are shipping sublines together now?

With there being 4 deluxes is the case breakdown just 2 of each (4x2=8) or is there 3 of one, and one short packed?

I finally got Solus Prime and Prima Prime. Both are great in bot mode, but their vehicle mode looks incomplete with gaps exposed limbs. Plus, both of their transformations were quite fiddly. Let's hope the other Primes will be better.

I found them both a little fiddly the first time around but also found them much easier the second time through one I already know where everything was supposed to end up.

I think o.supreme was asking about the AotP deluxes (Slingshot, Air Raid, Wasp and Solus Prime), which are an even 2x per case with nobody shortpacked. Devastation Prime and TF One Bee are solid cases themselves.

Oh, that makes more sense. I misread and thought he was asking if Prime and Bee were 4 each in a case together.

I'm too lazy for a picture, but Megatronus A.K.A The Fallen may be one of the best leader I got in a while.

He's not huge, but he's massive and dense with no hollow parts. The transformation is smooth and he feel solid in all modes. The shoulder flames are not the most secure, but this may be the whole figure's only flaw. I'm looking forward to Onyx.

The Primes are coming along nicely. I even have the impostor. Also, Nova Prime got promoted to Commander Class with the DNA Design upgrade kit. I just miss for the Reprolabels update for him, and the repros for the rest.
