Takara Tomy Transformers Power of The Primes in Figure King 239

Got my potp leaders today, and finally been able to do the comparizon I was waiting for :






The vehicule mode is more or less the same size, but the bit mode is definitely bigger than the fansproject one. Probably because 90% of the fansproject trailer is left over.

You know, I kinda wish that the PotP Voyagers had a better place to store enigmas/prime masters, especially in robot mode. Like some spot in their chest to plug it in, matrix-style (incidentally, this line also has Matrices using the same engineer): that way one could totally have had 'Grimlock Prime' lording it all over the other Autobots that 'him Grimlock king, now!'.

But in vehicle and regular robot mode, they can't be stored internally. That makes sense, really, as it's meant to be displayed full on in Combined Mode to show off its power and importance.

Been playing with them today and trying to see if there is any logic to the PM and decoy pairings. I can't find any, but in the process I noticed (and this may be old news) that the wave 2 Decoys are retools of wave 1.

Landmine from Metal Hawk - uses quite a few of the same tooling - knees down is the same, same arms, same gun. The PM's look the same.

Submaruder from Skullgrin - seems to use the same back half of the shell with some retooling. The weapons appears to attach the same way on the back.


@shajaki - good stuff

Submarauder is all new, different from Skullgrin. Look at the Prime Masters first and foremost, then the arms of the shell for any matches and thus retools. No, Skullgrin's/Liege Maximo's retool will probably be Megatronus/Bomb-Burst if we're to go by the leaked 3/4 view.

Haven't found the one on Grimlock. Then again I can't remember where I stuffed his instructions.

Should have just stuck a "USA Edition" sticker on these and called it a day.

Seibertronians, we have some huge news today about some brand new Legend Class figures from the Power of the Primes line!
Coming from Transformers Facebook fan page Planet Iacon, we have actual images of POTP Legend Class Tailgate, Roadtrap, and Battleslash! These figures were shown off previously at a Hasbro event in Australia, but were censored out of all photos from the event, so we never actually got to see them. Tailgate is clearly a remold of Windcharger, and Roadtrap and Battleslash, of course, are homages to the Duocon BattleTrap, except each piece now has it's own robot mode! They both appear to be new molds, but it's unknown if they truly combiner as the G1 version did. This obviously has reignited rumors of other Duocon, like Flywheels, so continue the discussion in the EnergonPub Forums!





Thanks to Seibertronian MaverickPrime for sending this our way!

They totally combine just look at the front of the helicopter mode for battleslash and 19 steps for a figure that small?
Also roadtrap has a clear line of separation down his middle.
Here's hoping that he works better then heavytread from the minicon combiner Centuritron

I was actually fiddling around with the mini-con combiner... it's still pretty cool, and rather impressive given the scale of the three little guys... though I do wish it hid the rotor blades better

Combined mode doesn't look to bad, I hope the connection is strong.

And we all thought Powerlinking was dead ...
