One of Hasbro's main Transformers designers, Mark Maher, has been posting several posts on Instagram regarding the Age of the Primes line. His latest is Star Convoy (now called Star Optimus Prime and revealed to be this line's 13th Prime) and you can see it below. It includes lots of wonderful images showcasing his many features. We also included his previous post on commander Silverbolt. Enjoy!

The Thirteeth Prime has arisen, Star Optimus is ready to utilize his ancient mystical zodiac orb to overpower your collection. His stark appearance clearly commands a new shelf in your collection and I can’t wait for you to build out the entire 13 primes to once and for all have the great gods of Transformers!

The almighty Shu san worked on this titan with me and boy oh gosh oh golly, he turned out divine! As always, working with Takara Tomy’s amazing team of designers is always a great honor and privilege that I do not take for granted.

I think I’m going to be making 2 posts on this behemoth. The anime style aesthetic that this guy embodies makes him so photogenic, of course mixed with some high class articulation and detailing to really make ya drool! Oh did I forget to mention the 3 killer modes, the long awaited appearance of Micromaster Hotrod (compared him to the core Hotrod), the plethora of weaponry, the first energon bullet accessory(I photoshopped in some extra’s),the matrix hilt with a multitude of metallic tinted blast effects that will keep ya entertained until moms calls ya in for an energon replenishment

The Age of the Primes welcomes the Aerialbot Commander Silverbolt, a heroic Autobot that’s a descendant of the great god Nexus Prime. Silverbolt’s ability to combine with his team of Aerialbots to form the powerful combiner Superion to defeat Legacy’s Menasor and all who stand before him! Let the combiner wars continue

Worked with Hasui san on this great character and he really brought him to life. Every combiner is such a heavy lift for all parties involved but the pay off of seeing it brought to life in such a smooth and articulated impactful way, well, it really speaks for itself.

I might be making 2 posts for this power packed toy because theres so much to show off. The extra thruster, that was designed from scratch, houses the combiner skeleton, which enables powerful strengthened and sturdy joints for dynamic posability and genius level smooth transformation sequences, to the immense joy we all get in every amazing crick of a ratchet joint, welp, again, speechless.

The big jet has the capability to lean the front nose to not only be more accurate to the actual jet but also pay homage to the transformation sequence in the g1 animated series. Its so satisfying to be able to open the cockpit and slide in any titan master for a classic wave of “bon voyage”. Almost as satisfying as having an accurate long range rifle that has multiple position fits with the capability of becoming a wicked cool blaster turret base for all the team to use. How glorious it finally feels when you put him up to an animated accurate Motormaster just so you can bodyslam that fool after he questions “So, who are you going to be a partial of next”?

I feel like Ive always had a great respect and admiration for Commander Silverbolt. Theres somthing about being an autobot leader to a team of bad ass aerialbot jets. Theres somthing about his head design that holds such a stern authoritarian gaze, maybe because of the low helmet brow and the handsome lips? If that wasnt enough, they made them combine into a wicked cool combiner named Superion As we all know, the jet alt mode always felt like an immediate decepticon thing, I meannn the seekers had some heavy air time in the g1 animated series so it just makes an autobot with a flight mode that much more appealing!

Alright, enough of my reminiscing, onward with the rebirth of the scramble city functionality! Since the skeleton system is much like Menasor in many ways I thought the swamping capabilities were crucial to keep and Hasui san being the genius he is, enabled that feature while adjusting other things to make this posable giant ready for a great showdown with his stunticon combiner nemesis.

The various places to utilize his long range rifle blaster really gives the look that I think all of us always wanted. Had to avoid the maize yellow thighs tho cause dont get me wrong, I love me some g1, but to not do the toy homage gold would of been a miss in my eyes. Suped about how the gold actually molded this time around and it blends together nicely with the painted gold. The unpainted extra piping on the thighs Hasui san suggested in order to avoid scratching in transformation ! Also the autobot sculpt that appears on the inside of his split tailwing to connect with the thruster booster really gives you a cool pyramid of autobot insignias.

Next up, I finally got my samples of the almighty thirteeth prime back from Cybertron Con, so next up, Star Optimus Prime. Make sure you let me know what you’d like to see!

Is it bad that I think core Hot Rod looks much better than the micromaster?

Either way though, Star Convoy looks fantastic

Prime looks so good! And I'm surprised "Micromaster" Hot Rod is actually bigger than Core Hot Rod!

Teasing a glimpse at G2 Wildrider? Hard to see much, but that looks like a yellow peg that would go to gun peaking out from behind the leg.

Also what's up with the gray jet on Superion's right arm? It's not a gray model, just looks to be a gray Slingshot standing in for Skydive.

Starconvoy is an easy pass but better than the last uneffort they did.

Wanting to pass on silverbolt but then they have made him titan master compatable, dang. Not wanting the deluxes though as they look ugly as limbs/planes. If they go crazy and realease silverbolt in star saber minicon colors/c-thru plastic (any of the bazillion versions) then that will be the one I'll buy.

Star Convoy is great. Does everything Star Convoy needs to do.

The only thing it doesn't do is motorized treads. Outside of that, it's pretty much an updated articulated version of the original.

Not sure how much more effort could have gone into it.

The Aerial Bots don't really interest me.

May get just Silverbolt if they ever repaint him in G2 colors.

That is my current philosophy with the new combiners: I will get the G2/Diaclone/SG/Nexus Prime repaints only. I'm doing it with Menasor, and will do it for Superion and Devastator

Well, that's easy. The original G1 toy is pretty much a Commander, but is still way too small for the current Generations scale. So, having him to be "Titan lite" was the best way to do it.

Really he should be somewhat taller than Powermaster Optimus Prime, but definitely not a full on, full priced Titan since he's a Micromaster base the same way PM Prime is a Powermaster base. They probably got him right, though HasLab Victory Saber is feeling pretty undersized now.

It was a weird choice to make "Micromaster" Hot Rod a Core since he's so cramped inside the chest now.

That's why Starry is not a "full sized, full priced" titan.
We could call him "Titanish" or Commander-plus.

Now that I do think about it, Hot Rod really should've been a new micromaster and not a core size. Would've helped me feel better about how bad he looks too

Actually he feels like I do about 3P, that they infringe on IP. He does touch upon Action Force and how he did it legally by getting the Trademarks.

Sky Byte looks great, especially the shark mode. I'm excited for this one

I had no interest in Heatwave before because I'm not attached to rescue bots but that robot mode is pretty cool. Alt mode... its alright

This was unexpected, while Megacon gave us a great first look at the upcoming Age of the Primes (AOTP) Heatwave and Skybyte (preorder links below), we now have a look at Alchemist Prime and Onyx Prime's box art. Onyx Prime is done in fiery orange with a winged robot mode that does indeed have four Legs. Alchemist is not as clear to see but he does have a mustache. There is also the box art for upcoming studio series figures like TF One Deluxe Starscream and Elita 1 along with WFC Voyager Thundercracker and the repacks of 86 Jazz and Grimlock.

More of the Primes are present but obscured, though we do see Vector Prime who is indeed the same mold as the Legacy release. These come from a shop in Singapore called The Falcon's Hangar.

It's likely the centaur legs aren't part of the bot alt mode, it'd be weird if only the top half transformed. There's got to be more to it than that. Beast mode for sure, maybe a bird, or maybe a griffon, that would explain his face having both teeth and a beak.

Onyx Prime might be the runner up to The Fallen as far as quality figures go. With Solus Prime being the best Deluxe so far (Alchemist designs look alright).

Liege Maximo might have potential but I don't think he's coming out until next year.

Very excited for AOTP. I've always wanted to get a 12 Primes set (I'm fine NOT having the 13th because... lore. So I'm on the fence for Star Convoy) after completing my G1 collection and then I'm "done." It's like Hasbro was reading my mind.

I'm also very happy the ones with proper render/figure reveals & product packaging art (Onyx & Micronus) looks overall. Prima & Megatronus are kind of average (Prima's color doesn't pop, Megatronus's short legs doesn't make him look epically menacing enough), but still look pretty fun. But Solus I'm pretty sure will be hands-down the best Deluxe fembot for awhile. Hope the rest of the Primes will be just as good as her.

This feels pretty likely, given that it would be a very easy repackage. I could see this being in a comic-edition multi-pack or something.

Via TFW2005 (Post 1 | Post 2), we have a bunch of reveals from the Hasbro booth at ToyFair 2025!

The new toys shown off include AOTP Alchemist Prime and Onyx Prime of the Thirteen - Alchemist transforms into an off-road vehicle while Onyx is shown as a triple-changer with robot, beast and centaur modes.

We also got good looks at a number of other toys from the AOTP line, including the Combaticon Vortex, Decepticon Crasher, red Excellion, Cybertron Sideways and the Carnivac / Fisitron two-pack.

The Studio Series line revealed the new Perceptor with Ramhorn and Ratbat, along with the Seeker (Dirge/conehead) and Soldier (Runamuck/Runabout) Decepticon generics from TF:Devastation.

The Hearts of Steel lineup got another showing with Megatron / Bumblebee alongside the already available Optimus / Starscream.

Finally, there was also the reveal of toys for the Cyberworld line, including Scorponok, Grimlock, Bumblebee, Galvatron and others.

What is with army building the Conehead Seeker? It looks cool enough, I guess, but I'd rather get Sunstorm.

Excellion is a must for me. As is ... *sigh* Ramhorn. It'd have been nice to get him in literally any other way than another box set with a couple of figures I already own.

Fistitron is pretty cool. It's a maybe.

Cyberworld Galvatron is a must buy for my Galvatron collection. Even if he kinda ... sucks ...

I'm excited to see the How Wheels transformers too. Those guys actually look really neat. Especially Twin Mill!

Posted by Razorbeast88 on March 1st, 2025 @ 9:06pm CST
Onyx Prime looks good, I love the robot mode. The beast/dragon/griffin? alt mode also looks pretty awesome minus the robot hands as front paws? Claws? Feet? The centaur mode looks a little messy but I think that's more on how he was posed, at least for the legs. The shoulders look weird in that mode but hopefully there's a configuration to make it look better, love the head sculpt! And the staff being a bow and arrow in centaur mode, cool stuff

Alchemist Prime also looks beefy and cool, I like the alt mode too

Vortex looks really good and chonky I love it. Helicopter mode looks cool and robot mode is awesome, can't wait to see the others

Ironfist looks good, I like the alt mode. I wish the pictures got a better angle of him and Carnivac but im definitely picking them up

Sideways is cool, not attached enough to character to pick it up but looks like a pretty cool figure

I really like that ramhorn. Looks so cool. But idk if cool enough to justify double dipping on ratbat and perceptor
Re: New Images for Transformers Age of the Primes Star Optimus Prime (2188726)
Posted by Sowndwave76 on March 1st, 2025 @ 9:10pm CST
I'm definitely in for the Target SS86 3-pk. It almost looks like Perceptor got a new facesculpt.
Ratbat looks solid, and even Ramhorn looks alright.

Vortex looks incredible, and as much as I wanted to like UW Bruticus, it just wasn't a great combiner. Even with a couple upgrade kits it didn't quite deliver. Now there's for sure something to look forward to next year.

Onyx has my attention... Is he a 4th quarter release? If so, he'll be very tempting. But any sooner than that and there are other figures that will have my focus (and money).

Beyond that, looks like I'm passing on a lot.
Re: New Images for Transformers Age of the Primes Star Optimus Prime (2188729)
Posted by -Kanrabat- on March 1st, 2025 @ 9:57pm CST
The combaticons looks nice and I will get them, despite having an upgraded UW Bruticus. The Carnivac pack interest me a lot because I have the G1 original.

Alchemist Prime is the first one of the Primes that I really, really want. It's the mustache.

I don't need another Perceptor, but I need the casettes...

Also, it seems that Ground Soldier is a repaint/retool from Runabout/Runamock. That set is an easy skip.

It looks like they're dropping the SS86 subline and going with the MTMTE tag as a "New" subline. Everything looks good but I don't want to get overly excited for releases months away.

Onyx Prime looks fantastic. They outdid themselves. Instant pre orde.
the devastation 2-pack also great, can’t have enough seekers.
Excellion, somehow you will be mine.
And my boy, Noisemaze also a fabulous update.

Vortex would be perfect if he wasn't in his boring show colors, but as-is he still looks really good, and I'll probably have to grab him anyway since I can't bank on a toy colors version actually happening and Bruticus is easily my favorite Combiner. As much as I still don't really like the principle of the frame-combiner-system or the heavy show colors leaning, that Bruticus box art does look absolutely killer, and I love that we've continued the now-tradition of Blast Off giving him built-in flamethrower capabilities.

Sideways Noisemaze and Onyx look perfect, no notes. I've definitely come around to these Onyx colors as opposed to the blue I was expecting now that we're seeing the actual figure, and I'm real happy Noisemaze is seemingly another completely new mold out of nowhere, it was basically the only way to do him justice. Zero clue what Onyx's crazy winged six-legged hooved gargoyle-thing mode is supposed to actually be, so for now I will call him a Honse.

Already have Crasher, hope the repack helps those who don't.

Excellion's colors don't actually look as good to me as I expected on this mold? I can't place why, but I think I'll be skipping him.

Ironfist Fisitron looks really good, love his IDW colors and I'm very curious to see if his whole Lightformer cannon can detach from his back or if it's just the main barrel, although I am surprised to see they used the Earth mode tooling as his base and not the Siege one. Carnivac, on the other hand....sure is also included, wish he got as much IDW sauce in his design as his versus partner.

Still not 100% sold on Alchemist being green, but I like what I see otherwise, he can come hang out.

Really loving the looks of Vortex, they did so many crazy details, they almost look out of place compared to the CW mold. Really getting me excited for the rest.

Interesting that they did toon shaded windows on the two Devastation guys, but not on the Deluxe Optimus Prime.

Didn't feel like starting a new topic, but the first look at the SDCC Void Rivals set is up featuring Siege Jetfire.

Carnivac and Onyx Prime look great. And going by Bruticus' art, he'll be a solid figure too.

Vortex looks excellent. Onyx is different to the usual stuff at least, and that makes him cool to me. A bit annoyed that Ratbat and Ramhorn come with Perceptor, but oh well. Alchemist is a letdown to me, really random alt mode and very drab colors for a guy dealing with alchemy.

At Toy Fair 2025, Hasbro unveiled an exciting wave of new Transformers products, headlined by the launch of the Transformers: Age of the Primes line.

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.

So I guess I'm the only one who's underwhelmed by the new combiners. I was disappointed in the new Aerialbot limbs, and Vortex isn't great either. I'll wait to see what the rest look like, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hopefully I can get that Jetfire without a lot of hassle, he actually looks better than the original release.
