Opitmus being the 13th never made sense even in aligned. Like the whole idea is they went from order to chaos, with Prima being the most stick in the mud rules stickler warrior of light and then Liege Maximo and Megatronus on the other side embracing the darkness... and then "the best of them...

Still think they should make the Leige Maximo more of a war and tactics god and give the trickster/loki stuff to Xal. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Xal

I'm guessing "Prima Prime" and "Star Saber sword" are being done for trademark reasons.

Eh, I think there were plenty of people who disliked Hot Rod enough that they thought Prime should have just shot through him. That was long before Bay.

"Megatron must be stopped no matter the cost." Turns out that, no, there are several costs Prime wasn't willing to pay.

The Hasbro Pulse video is up.

I consider myself extremely into Transformers and I'm still constantly finding out about stuff I've never heard of. Especially in the realm of stuff that hasn't been made available in English.

Where would they even acknowledge that if they wanted to? There's no more toy fiction tie-in and we don't even get two line character blurbs on the website anymore.

I prefer Optimus to have been a shlubby little worker bot who got elevated to Prime by either happenstance or quality of his character, or both. But, like, every continuity is different, especially the modern toyline which has no real accompanying fiction, just some ad copy and BTS stuff. Star...

I liked the way that Cyberverse suggested that the Matrix contained the essence of each of the 13. (And an Optimus Prime, who had it on him when he died.) IMO, the matrix is best as shared artifact among the 13, essentially bigger than any of them. Prima is the first to wield it, sure, but...

Y'all act like this isn't a franchise built on 40 years of questionable continuity decisions. For this toyline Star Optimus Prime is one of the original 13, oh well? People acting like it's a slap in the face or something.

Is he a big deal, though? Until the 13, his biggest claim to fame was a one page spread with no set-up at the end of a comic series that sold so badly it got canceled after 12 issues. Even then, he no longer even has his biggest hook (being the progenitor of the Decepticons) because they gave...

I just realized the reason they used the G1 head for Prima might be because they used the Dreamwave head for the Fallen. Also, Prima gives me G1 Megatron color scheme vibes now.

Disappointed that Onyx doesn't appear to be a centaur and that Amalgamous does really have anything that suggests "lots of alt-modes" Really curious what they're going to have some of these guys turn into.

They already did that with combiner wars. These are going to something different.

Gonna need to see if Silverbolt has a vehicle mode without his "trailer" because holy god is that thing a brick. :D

Maybe Silverbolt fits into a larger shell that makes him a properly scaled Concord jet compared to the other arielbots and that shell is what becomes the frame.

Those bigass calves/feet and skinny arms.

It seems to me if you want the scramble city gimmick, and don't care about show accuracy or size, you go with Combiner Wars. If you want bigger, more show accurate combiners (even Superion's legs were a lot more square than teh toys allowed, what with them also having to be jets) then go with...

I will say this: Hasbro has had a rough couple of years:they massively expanded during COVID and made a lot of bets that didn't pay off and their media attempts fully collapsed. I wouldn't be surprised if a sizable number of investors would just like to get a big payout and move on. Not...
