Nah, she just knew he'd be off to face the Decepticons and needed his game face.

I didn't know you felt that strongly about PrimalxConvoy.
He accidentally liked a 5 year old post while stalking her on facebook.
Eh, you'll have a lot better time in fandom generally if you don't expect that. Disagreements and differing opinions are just life, and we were already walking into the future together despite them.
I know I'm satisfied. I'm curious on how they will be released though.
Yeah I'm good now. I don't intend to start a collection of frame combiners but I would like to experience this. Nexus Prime is enough of an oddball that I'd be happy for this to be my only one.
I definitely think better of it but I dunno, if he was designed to fit into any of the available combiner frames, I can understand why the standalone altmode was so bad. I don't agree with the compromise to make it happen but I understand why. If he's going to get a dedicated frame anyway, there's no reason for the altmode to look like it fits into Soundwave anymore. Probably need actual images of the combined mode to decide.
Of course, I'm already missing some of the Primes anyway so I was never going completionist.

This will probably sound stupid but when I saw Nexus part of the reason I was annoyed later was at first I just saw the pictures and somehow missed the caption. I briefly thought they were of modern Raindance and Slamdance and I clicked through several looking to see how the Grandslam component was done. Then I saw what it really was. I only vaguely remember those two from when I was a kid but I thought it looked like a great update till reality bit me.
Which raises a question: Will that mask fit on any of the others who had them? Or is it designed only to fit Powerglide?
That's probably the best part of the recent "continuity-lite" lines they've been doing for the last several years. Sure, no accompanying fiction, which yes, would be nice. But at least they can release whatever wherever without much worry about such things. It's more of a show of refreshing the line for retailers, since I hear they're big into that.
Same mold, but more translucent plastic.
To match the rest of the new stuff.
Presenting, Age Of The Primes Blu-Tack! Sold separately.
One other reply I was typing out but couldn't figure out how to clearly state was along these lines. Functionally there's no real difference between even Legacy and AOTP, as both are multiversal-cast lineups; the latter just lacks a price point and line-wide gimmick bots (Junkions, Armorizers, etc), and there's a more specific checklist runnung through it. If that gets truncated, they could just shunt Liege, Nexus, and whoever to the next line, since it's not like all the Primes were going to be in AOTP anyway, with Vector having shown up in the previous installment. Push them back a year to the follow-up, Rest Of The Primes.
Yeah, I don't know why they are insisting on shoving all the Primes (plus three combiners) into two years instead of the normal three, but this is one of the sacrifices as a result. Didn't they say in the livestream that this was the last wave of AotP? Could we see the next line announced at Toyfair? Or maybe that's more of a SDCC thing?
It's kinda nutty that retailers still have this kind of sway, but I guess the more things change in that landscape, the more they stay the same.
Eh, it's not like they couldn't just dump whatever Primes are left into whatever the line after is called and Walmart will be none the wiser.

That one corner store in Botswana really loves this stuff.
I ended up having to order to order both Nexus and Liege from Pulse as BBTS was already sold out of preorders in less than 24 hours after they were posted. I really didn't realize how popular both of these would be. Glad I was able to get my order in somewhere.
