Toys Age of the Primes Alchemist Prime Behind the Scenes

Mark Maher's behind the scenes showcases continue. Tonight we're looking at Age of the Primes Alchemist Prime.

Let me introduce a powerful yet humble member of the 13 primes, Alchemist Prime is ready to grace your shelf with his divine and handsome presence! Move over and make some room, this guy exudes clear the path vibes even though he’d probably be the most enjoyable of the primes to just hang out with.

Tomo san really flexed his creative muscles on the transformation sequence of the mighty McAdams. Not to mention this guys proportions are incredibly unique and a rarity amongst many TF toys.
.
All the more reason to pour yourself a chalice of energon and lets get into the deets. I utilized the main inspiration for this guy from the McAdams,hmm I mean @toygrind appearance in cyberverse. I sprinkled in the covenant unique Prime esk shape designs but all the while thinking of the comic bartender apperance. The mustache and head sculpt might be my favorite aspect but the colors hit hard in hand, not to mention the easter eggs riddled all over his awesome artifact The Lenses! Which we increased the scale and made them split to become daggers, the idea here is that he would be able to utilize his mystical powers of the elements to change the weapons into any heated metal or even iced out adamantium or whatever and wherever your imagination takes you.
.
I always imagined his vehicle mode to be somewhat of a cybertronian all terrain vehicle. You can extend out his feetsies to urilize the 5 mm ports for a lil high speed action.
.
What I wouldn’t give to sit at a cybertronian pub and drink an energon pint and listen to wonderful stories of early cybertron and Alchemists outlook on life. Lets here the modules tune in their optics to sound off the details they see in the Lenses down below

Dig that SUV mode.

 

[wonko the sane?]

I want him because I'm actively trying to collect all the primes.

I need him for the rocking 'stache. I don't think there's been another transformers with deliberate facial hair.

Scourge, Alpha Trion.

Honestly not thrilled with the Alt Mode myself, but will echo the awesome facial hair. I'll definitely get him to get the Primes, but he's the one I feel lacking just yet. When Megatron fears your alt mode, one hopes it's not because he fears being a Soccer Dad.

There are plenty more. From G1 Wreck-Gar & other Junkions in the early days, to Animated Motormaster & Blackout, Shattered Glass Rodimus & Rodmius Unicronus in the comics and in media, to the recent Earthspark Wheeljack, etc. etc.

I'm liking Alchemist Prime more and more. He looks fun to pose for a Deluxe and the 'tache are round eyes add so much character. I thought the alt mode is something Cyberverse Maccadam is supposed to turn into and this is paying homage to that lore, which I also love.

Again, I love all the revealed Primes so far. Except Star Convoy, which felt forced as the 13th Prime, but it's still a good toy though Star Convoy is the only one I didn't PO yet. Waiting for a sale after it's released, it's the only one that's not a "Must Have" for me.
