Stock Images of Finished Product for Transformers Power of the Primes Deluxe Moonracer

Posted by william-james88 Dec 4, 2017 at 11:30pm CST 20,926 views
Walmart.com has posted a some new stock images for deluxe Moonracer from Transformers Power of the Primes which show us our first real look at the finished product. These are images of the actual toy rather than art or a gray prototype or 3D renders and we see Moonracer in her box, as well as her outside the box in vehicle mode and in robot mode wearing her power armour. As with all deluxes in this line, she can become either an arm or a leg and does not have a designated combiner she belongs to so far.
These images give us our best idea of her transformation which seems to not be too complicated, as is the case with most of these toys which must accomplish many modes. However, the product description, found below, gives her 14 steps, which is more than seem necessary to convert from car to robot. You will let us know what your take on all this is in the discussion.

Moonracer will be found on shelves at the end of first quarter 2018 with her fellow wavemates Blackwing, Dinobot Sludge, Dinobot Snarl, and Terrorcon Rippersnapper. You an read about everything we know so far in the Transformers Power of the Primes line right here.

Deluxe Class Autobot Moonracer
Converts from robot mode to sports car mode in 14 steps
Comes with a Prime Armor accessory and a collector card
Works with Prime Master figures (not included)
Wield the Power of the Primes with the joyful Autobot sharpshooter

Calling Novastar as her retool ;)

I see they took some cues from Generations Arcee when it came to placing kibble.

F*beep*ing ninjas, man! :-x

No but seriously good call. I'm hoping she's a bit more of a reshell, especially when it come to her vehicle. If only to make the two more apart beyond just a head and color swap.

I look at that alt mode and for some stupid reason the first thing that pops into my head is "Cybertron Clocker"

It's not for everyone, sure but I dig it. It will still be a massive wasted opportunity if she's not joined by her fellow teammates beside Fire Novastar.

She will be joining Chromia who has already been waiting a very long time for her friends.

I gotta have her. I'm really curious about what they'll do for Nova Star and any other upcoming surprises.

Oh right, Chromia DOES have a Generations toy remolded from a Prime Arcee, doesn't she? I always forget about that thing because it's a little goofy looking, being what it is. It's supposed to be a G1-ish/Generations toy but it has these body parts that scream TFPrime. It's so weird.

so will we have an all fembot combiner in power of the primes with elita-1 as the torso moonracer, firestar chromia and greenlight or another Arcee as limbs?

After having her in hand I think she is great and looks just as much g1 as this Moonracer does.

Chromia was a bit odd for mainline Generations TFs, but I like her. I didn't have her first incarnation, but I picked up her, Arcee and Windblade as part of the Combiner Hunters set.

I can't wait to add Elita-1, Novastar, and Moonracer to the party. :DANCE:

Not bad! I was a bit worried the fembots would be compromised by the Combiner Wars bulky aesthetic the older toys had, but this is preety good! Though the combiner hand below her chest makes her look pregnant

I'm hoping for a NEW Combiner Chromia. I don't know which Femmebot from that episode is going to get left out of the combiner, but if I had to pick one, it would be Lancer, I guess.

I don't know. I think that Chromia is a must for Power of The Primes.

Lol! Aw, man. You beat my comment by 20 minutes.

Now that we are getting a proper Moonracer, I'd really go for a deluxe class Powerglide. :D

Comment by RodimusRex Dec 5, 2017
So I'd been playing with the idea of them doing a White Prime Ultra Magnus out of Leader Optimus in this line since Rodimus is getting the "evil" repaint.

I'd wondered what would happen to the inner robot if they did that. Minimus Ambus? Funpub Magnum? Dion? A total retool into an armored Magnus who becomes a giant white Prime as a bizarro Magnus?

Anyway, I uncovered something I never noticed before in the Wikis.

Orion Pax's design was originally supposed to be Ultra Magnus in the 1986 movie. The characters in the movie were supposed to be all "animation first, toy later" designs. I get the impression Hasbro bit off more than they could chew and opted for Powered Convoy from Diaclone as Magnus instead. (He originally was going to have the blue Optimus Diaclone deco which made it into trailers before they went with red, white, and blue.)

So, anyway, it turns out that when Magnus' original design was scrapped as the movie was being planned in 1985, the cartoon series swiped the design and recolored it as Orion Pax!

So Optimus' original "in-universe" form was an Optimus colored Ultra Magnus design. And then Ultra Magnus wound up being changed to be a recolored Optimus.

So there'd actually be some cool pedigree if they did redeco Leader Prime as Ultra Magnus.

My money is on Ambus or Dion. Dion would be the easier of the two, given his generic design, and given that the only real part of the figure that will have to be white would be the head and faux window assembly. So, yeah, it's plausible.

Again, I'd prefer an Ambus figure though, I love his design in the comics and I'd love a better scaled one for my MTMTE crew.

The Prime Armor accessory looks like a strapped on baby carrier. What a useless gimmick.

That was my first thought. The worst part is, you can put a titan/prime master in there and have her carry it for nine months.
