Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

[Steadfast]

It's a space magic plot device, it's best to not think about it any harder than the writers did.

It wasn't even necessary space magic, or filler! It was just a random arbitrary power up.

It could've been replaced with "We'll paint ourselves red so we'll go faster."

 

[wonko the sane?]

Hey, you've never seen a purple ork, so colour theory works.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Dat's propa.

 

[Platypus Prime]

And then Cybetronic and Cybertread travel back to the Cyberzoic to fight the Cybermen for the Cybersales on Cyber Monday.

And in the background, for reasons no one can quite work out, Captain Kirk yells "TROOOOOOON!" before a hidden ork Kommando pops out, krumps him, and hides back in the bushes.

I want this, but I fear the price.

Rumour is $80
Which is actually a steal compared to what they charged for Armada Nemesis Prime and the Star Sabre.

Better then I hoped, but still pricey. Hoping it doesnt get sold out before I can preorder it.

So... anyone want a cheap powerlinx red alert

 

[NovaSaber]

Seeing the Dark Saber come with an Autobot here just makes me want to say again that I think Nemesis Prime should have had that version, in which case it would be the Star Saber in this set.

 

[Princess Viola]

at last i have all the mini-cons and yet i still cannot red uh-lert woo woo woo woo

Deluxes

• Tailgate - head can look up and down, does not include Windcharger's blast effect but does include the same gun, more plans for future use of this mold (Mark wants to finish the Minibots so they can move on to the Throttlebots)
• Fangry - package refresh of the 4-pack version, Marks loves the all-green face (explaining why they didn't go for a more Masterforce-accurate silver face w/ red visor)
• Blanker & Peacemaker - Couldn't get the "Peaceman" name, opaque chest this time, new headsculpt
• Joyride - Sureshot's spoiler pieces were made parts-formable so that they could stick them on the legs in anticipation of using this mold for Joyride
• Vortex - rerelease, another opportunity to get him since he was released so late in 2025 (lesson learned from Breakdown)

Voyagers

• Swindle - was revealed so early in order to make sure everyone saw all of the Combaticons at once when Bruticus was revealed (Mark wants to do NEW Combaticons to add more to that team in addition to the normal five)
• Vector Prime - (Hasbro) Galaxy Force deco (Mark mispronounces Jhiaxus as "Jaxus" and "Cyber Planet Key" as "Cyber Planetary Key"), Mark confirms the sword is the Blade of Time (finally getting that right unlike so many other pieces of fiction out there), admitting they deliberate changed the "Blades of Time" to the singular "Blade of Time"

Leaders

• Megazarak - Nothing really said about this one besides general gushing over how nice it looks (and hinting at another product reveal coming later)
• Herald of Unicron - still referred to as "Unicron Soldier", the concept of this is an avatar or acolyte for Unicron to interact with lower lifeforms, as well as an homage to Cybertron Unicron, could serve as a troop builder to be an army of Unicrons who battle the Thirteen Primes (Nate confirmed that the HasLab Unicron will NOT be rereleased as they want to be consistent in keeping the HasLabs special, but hints that another Unicron could be done as a Titan, Commander, or even Leader)

Pulse Exclusive

• Powerlinx Red Alert Pack - Armada Powerlinx Red Alert w/ eight Mini-Cons (Longarm, Sparkplug, Leader-1, Swindle, Wind Sheer, and the Air Assault Mini-Con Team/Dark Saber), Swindle has a unique lock-up mechanism for Starscream (whom Mark confirms was a partial off of Reactivate Starscream), Leader-1 is meant for both Megatron and Megazarak (which probably means no Caliburn coming), Nate confirms that Armada Cyclonus and Demolishor will be coming at some point in the future

 

[Cybersnark]

Starscream (whom Mark confirms was a partial off of Reactivate Starscream),

Wait, what? Is there a new Armadascream coming, or is this the Legacy version?

 

[Sabrblade]

Legacy. They share the same crotch.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Legacy. They share the same crotch.

There's a joke about pride month in there somewhere...

 

[LordGigaIce]

Legacy. They share the same crotch.

I feel like the only reason people didn't know this was because of how limited Reactive Starscream's release was.

 

[Andrusi]

I mean, I have both toys. I just don't spend a lot of time comparing their crotches.

(Actually, I'm not sure I've ever had both of them in robot mode at once.)

 

[Darth_Prime]

I already put Powerlinx Red Alert on pre order, Im a sucker for the Armada toys. I still need to get over the price and pick up Nemesis Prime though.

Joyride looks nice. Wonder if this will lead to a Ranger redeco?

 

[Swerve]

Can we talk about the box art....they hinted in the fan stream that there was a story....and both these boxes scream story concept. Do you think we will hear what is going on here?

 

[Blot]

Red Alert is clearly drunk and seeing the fairies again.
