To be fair even if it's more than a fluke the Trypticon leg issue seems Very easy to fix.

-ZacWilliam. No it still sucks and shouldn't happen, but at least for us fans in the know: easily dealt with.

Again, yeah, while the "oh but they won't be Headmasters" thing is a bit if a plus for ME, it's also one of the biggest strikes here for the same reason -- as it kind of comes across as "don't worry they finally wised up and stopped making everything Headmasters".

I'll be bummed when they stop making everything Headmasters. The brilliance of the last two lines is that they make lemonade out of how light and hollow toys have to be now; Combiner Wars gave us gigantic combiners that don't collapse under their own weight, Titans Return used that space for little cockpits. I'm into the little cockpits.

yeah, don't be into the little cocks.

then...no primes? I was hoping for some thirteen prime like cw Nexus prime

I thought this thread was about a rumored Optimus Primal? *Looks back at the PotP poll earlier this year*

[▲ndrusi]

I gotta admit, "Titan Master Apeface was partly a namegrab for POTP Apeface" seems a hell of a lot more plausible to me than "TM Apeface is obviously a prelude to a Voyager TR Apeface" did to me.

"We got TM Apeface because there is no larger Apeface planned" still seems more plausible than either, but still.

This was also some anonymous 4chan rumor but I saw something on Twitter a few weeks ago that was saying that the whole main gimmick of PotP was going to be some weird toys-to-life, mobile app thing. I wish I could remember where I saw it so I could actually share it and remember what the other details of it were but it certainly sounded more interesting than this. Also fairly unlikely, but still.

That's what RID's linewide gimmick is!

(I'm not sure whether that makes it more or less likely.)

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

If we don't get an update of Rodimus Prime that's as good as Titans Return Hot Rod is to Hot Rod, I'm declaring the entire line a failure.

 

--LBD "Nytetrayn"

[NotVeryKnightly]

I'd say we can be almost certain the line won't have that.

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

That may be fair. I should just say that if there's no Rodimus Prime, then the entire line etc. etc.

Considering the line is called Power of the Primes, I'm thinking Rodimus will get a toy in some form or another and hopefully it will look like his G1 cartoon appearance, of course Optimus prime is likely to have a toy in some form or another, while Primal will definely get a toy as he won the "Fan vote" and its likely they'll do other charaters and brand them Primes or something, but time will tell.

 

As for Titans return, while I not been largely keen on it, overall its a good line, thou I feel Galvatron was meant for CW line or be a stand alone Generations figure, the flip up Mask is a pretty weak gimmick but then at times the first wave of voyager figures can suffer due to bad ideas but at least that Galvatron figure was a improvement over the Deluxe we had with the TFU line. The question remaining is, when will Hasbro revisit the target masters offically, same with the Power Masters?

[Megastrom2]

I wonder what kind of gimmick they might have... cw combined tr turns in to head..maybe since it says 'prime' will they turn into matrix?

[Confuzor]

Couldn't "new Target/powermasters" just be "Minicons"?

I typed a stupid joke for this thread a couple of days ago about PotP revolving around everyone having a compartment in their chest for a TM-sized guy who turns into a Matrix. Y'know, Matrix of Loyalty, Matrix of Honesty, Matrix of Generosity etc. It didn't seem worth posting. (Did I post it? I don't think so.)

I can't think of a more obvious gimmick, unless everyone is a triple changer who has a standard robot mode and a beefier Prime mode.

According to the schedule on the wiki, that RID mobile game is due to get pulled down at the end of the year for whatever that's worth.

Everybody comes with a trailer they combine with to form a Super/Prime mode.

[NotVeryKnightly]

Does Primal drag around a wagon in gorilla mode?

[unitremover]

Yes but also he can combine with the line's normal Optimus Prime toy to form Optimal Optimus

[Copper Bezel]

This is the best line.

[Foffy]

Does Primal drag around a wagon in gorilla mode?

I have a mental image of a hulking gorilla pulling around a little red Radio Flyer wagon, and it's the bestest thing.

[Copper Bezel]

I'm seeing a two-wheeled medieval wooden wagon full of medieval weapons sticking up at odd angles.
