The reveal of the Aerialbots excites me, not to mention Red Alert, Wasp, G2 Grimlock and Star Convoy. But what had me really excited was the small sneak peak of Wave 2 with art of Vortex, can’t wait for the rest of the Combaticons!
Star Convoy seems tempting, the first and only time I saw the original toy was at a Japanese mall called Yaohan (Mitsuwa) in Edgewater NJ.. This could be the time for me to bring him home to my Optimus Prime collection.
I was just thinking today, if Megatronus Prime the Fallen was in the G1 Cartoon/Movie, who would voice him. My choice would be Judge Frollo himself, Tony Jay.
I just want cartoon accuracy. As long as it’s cartoon accurate, I don’t care if it’s plain. I know some people don’t feel the same way, but I’m a purist in that sense.
So my goal of the AOTP line is to collect all of the 13 Primes (Minus Star Convoy, as I don't have the want/need for him and I'm using the Legacy: Evolution Nova Prime as part of my AU's depiction of the 13th). Plus Fugitive Wasp, Heatwave, and any others once we get more official news on them.
My headcanon is Nova was Primas pupil after the age of the 13. Training from him and Alpha Trion to become a leader that would usher Cybertron into a golden age. And after he does that he goes full imperialist and starts the Cybertronian expansion.
All these years as a TF fan, and I did not know Star Convoy is an actual merging of Rodimus and Optimus. I just thought Rodimus got demoted to sidekick. Since Rodimus is my favorite Prime, this insight makes me even more excited about Star Prime! Bring him on!
The Sonic crossover looks amazing, the Tails one does look cooler than Sonic. I know Sonic’s actual feet aren’t red like his shoes but they made the wheels red, so it’s ok positives outweigh negatives! Prima looks very interesting and Alchemist Prime I love as well. Animated Waspinator was a long time coming, the Fallen looks phenomenal and Star Convoy…. Never got into the Manga but for those who want it it’s pretty cool. G2 Grimlock: Not much of a G2 guy, but if anyone wants it, I highly recommend it!
I LOVE that Tails' alt-mode is a freaking BI-PLANE because he has 2 TAILS? That's clever and a very original mold. Age of Prime: We don't need a new show. Wait 5 years, let the people rest and then come back with a great story. Just my thought. I'm rally happy to see Heatwave. Silverbolt looks cheap as heck (my opinion) but Superion looks ok. I might get the 5 Aerialbots, I don't see any oversized 3rd party I like so I'll settle for this smaller one. Man, you mentioned Beta, I would love a 2-pack of her an A3. G2 Grimlock...man, people really one a SS86 reissue, give the people what they want. Thanks for the news!
@ look at Nexus’s statue. His limbs have different details, and even with the statues out of scale he’s still bigger than all of them. He’s also called “the first combiner”, so would be really cheap of Hasbro to not make him that. And yeah, Bruticus isn’t in the 86 movie. But do you really think people care if Hasbro breaks the rules to put out more characters? Like who else is there to make a Commander class of?
I never got into the collaboration Transformers crossovers due to money issues at the time. However, this Sonic crossover with Transformers is pretty cool to see and maybe worth getting when it is released. I also hope that this Sonic crossover with Transformers will continue and include Dr. Eggman/Robotnik as a Transformer in the future.
I'm excited for these and I'm liking the look of the Thirteen Primes. I am a little surprised that Star Optimus Prime is a Titan Class because he doesn't look nearly as tall, if anything, he looks closer to the Commander Class Skyfire. I am so looking forward to the Aerialbots! I LOVE that they're using the "Menasor-Mechanic" of the trailer becoming the skeleton and I think it's a great idea moving forward for the rest of the "Scramble City" combiners. Silverbolt looks like he might be unpainted, almost translucent... If I recall correctly, the "Skeleton-Combiner" of Menasor originally appeared in the G1 cartoon episode "Starscream's Brigade" when Motormaster transforms into the skeleton and the Stunticons attach to the back of his limbs right before falling on Bruticus. Oh and I hope they do all of the G2 Dinobots in different colors - this set was one of the few things from G2 (outside of tank-Megatron) that I liked.
For me, "descend" means they added to the collective DNA to the well, not that every one spawned from them specifically... Spawning from them specificly brings some HR Giger body-horror to mind that's not gelling with my personal cannon lol.
Yeah, something Mark posted said that the primes pooled together the powers of their artifacts to create the Well of Sparks. So the non-prime figures will be considered descendants to the different primes. Personally not a fan of that approach but it ultimately doesn’t matter.
Definitely collecting the 12 Primes. (not asked about Star Convoy, sorry) Big fat MAYBE on the Aerialbots. Not a fan of the 'skeleton' method, but I've been wanting a new Superion for a while. Might cave. Time will tell.
Im most looking forward to Armada Red Alert, the Fallen, and maybe Solus. Star Convoy looks amazing but idk if I'll be able to get him. AOTP Sky-Byte so far looks amazing but as for Heatwave, I'm opposed to the idea of him as a bulkhead retool personally
Maybe it's for the better that they're going to slow down on the releases, because I pretty much want everything on this list! And giving us a bit more time and possibly more organized stock for everyone to get their hands on, it might be the smarter option after all. And yeah Star Convoy is pretty much the precursor to the Super Optimist designs from the Unicorn Trilogy, which are all legendary looking. Also the Sonic collaboration figures are adorable!
Getting Devastator, Superion, and Bruticus back-to-back is awesome! That Star Convoy is really something. Including both Micromaster Hot Rod and THE Zodiac makes that set for me. I’ve always loved getting new figures based on the deep lore of Japanese G1. However, it does dampen the appeal of HasLab for me and makes me wonder why they couldn’t just release RID Prime and Magnus as regular releases-let alone Star Saber, Deathsaurus, or Victory Leo. Star Convoy is arguably a much deeper cut than any of those characters. But since he’s an Optimus Prime, I can see why Hasbro would be more confident in putting him out at retail.
I'm definitely hyped for Prima, Solus, and Megatronus. If I can't get all 13 I'll at least get those three. Everyone else looks great. Especially Skybite (that's me). Funny that Sonic and Tails's alt modes are the same vehicles the LEGO Dimensions pack included. I'm still hoping for Evac (and Scourge to complete the Cyber Planet Key Guardians set). Maybe they can PR Metroplex and Override and include their keys (and Drillbit for the former) as a bonus? Or release a Minicon pack that includes all four keys?
I hope we get a Zeta prime that I can use for the 13th prime. Maybe when more Studio series figures for ONE come out. Really tired of Optimus being the 13th. I still want that Titan though.
I'm genuinely excited for the Aerialbots, my favorite combiner team imo. I'm dead set to get them all they look so good fr but Solus?? She looks amazing too! My wallet is gonna hate me fr lol
I picked up Star Raider Filch today. Filch: Shiny? Me: no, there's no shiny. Just some hype news. Filch: Shiny? Me: Yes it would be cool if we got more RID2015 cons.
I wish they'd do a Shadow the Hedgehog transformer. Maybe have Shadow change into his car or bike. That Star Convoy looks pretty expensive lol 10:25 i personally hate stickers. That super jet mode for Silverbolt looks pretty cool. I do compliment the way they're attempting to make show accurate combiners. I think it's great that the Fallen comes with the Requiem Blaster.
I do want to get the aerialbots, however, I plan on picking up Air Raid & Slingshot this coming week, I'll have to wait to get more funds for Silverbolt though, hoping that Silverbolt won't sell out on Amazon.....🤦🏼♂️ Or anywhere else, for that matter......😒 Although, my wallet is gonna kill me, going in, in 2 combiners, next year, that being Superion & Devastator! 😂
The Solus Prime figure looks great and I like the controversy about who the first female Transformer is with Arcee being the first one created for the franchise, Elita-1 being the first female warrior, Beta at the beginning of the Autobots era, and Solus Prime being the sole female of the Primes. It’s a bummer that they did away with the Core class figures since Micronus should be in that class instead of being a deluxe because he’s the smallest of the Primes with him being a Mini-Con. Onyx Prime looks cool for an art piece and I wonder how they will go about him with an alt-mode since he feels like he’s in a mix of his robot mode and his beast mode. I’m hoping that they make figures of Moonracer and Firestar for the Age of the Primes toyline!
I’ve never really been a big fan of the 13 Primes concept, partly because… 1) I generally prefer it when the word Prime is simply Optimus’s last name like in G1 or an Autobot military rank like in Transformers Animated, as opposed to some sort of cybertronian Demi-god status, like a “Super Saiyan” or something, makes Megatron & other con leaders seem like underdogs when compared to their Autobot rivals. 2) the 13 primes are supposed to be important characters, but up until now they’ve rarely had toys made of them unless they were characters who predated the 13 prime concept, like Alpha Trion, so it’s harder to care about them since they’re mostly used to explain the existence of ancient relics the bots and cons fight over. So yeah, better late than never on the toy front, giving faces to their names finally and what not. I do like what we’ve seen of their new designs so far, none of them seem to be obvious retools or repaints & the fact they finally have alt modes of their own is a big deal given how they’re supposed to be the first transformers lol. Onyx Prime has me curious, as the first beast former he should be my “favorite” 13th prime but the centaur like aspects of his appearance has always struck me as something fanciful or over-designed that the artists came up with rather than something that could work as an actual action figure, so I’m curious to see how his beast and robot modes will look & function in toy format…I’ve always felt he’d work better with a more simplified hippogriff beast mode, keeps both the avian and equine aspects of his design but makes it easier to make a proper robot mode for him, & easier to transform as a toy. I do like the idea of the first beast former changing into a mythical creature rather than a normal animal. 3) The 13 primes are supposed to be legendary figures in transformers lore like Hercules, King Arthur, or Gilgamesh are in Earth mythology, but they will NEVER be as legendary in the eyes of the fandom as the original characters they are meant to predate. Megatron will always be more legendary than Megatronus for example, & I’ve never liked the idea of Megs naming himself after an allegedly more ancient & greater villain than himself, it works for Beast era Megatron because he’s naming himself after the greatest “hero” in Decepticon history to symbolize how he sees himself as destined to follow in his footsteps as the future leader of all Predacons. To be fair though, I did prefer how in TF One, Megatronus was instead a heroic figure who died tragically at the hands of someone he trusted, & Megatron is essentially an enraged fan who named himself after his fallen hero in defiance of said hero’s killer, but sadly doesn’t realize he’s tainting his hero’s legacy in the process with his own truly evil actions. Sorry for the wall of text, great video!
I am very sad to see the Legacy trilogy concluding soon but am so glad that this line will be the successor! I love the look of everything shown off recently, I want to get the majority of the ones shown off in wave one! My main focuses will be the leader Megatronus, deluxe TFA Wasp & Solus, voyager Armada Red Alert & Prima. I might get either the titan Star Optimus Prime or Superion, it all depends on which I want more out of the two?
i have a big theory on him that totally reshapes the G1 Lore, so we know about how the 13th Prime is possibly the Reincarnation of Optimus Prime, but this is Star Convoy and in Battle Stars, Star Convoy as the Final Form of Optimus Prime. What if this is the 13th Prime was Star Convoy that reincarnated into Orion pax/Optimus Prime, and during Battle Stars, He finally reawakens his true Godly Prime Power from he was in the past.
Star OP looks cool, but I'm going to pass on him as I have no connection with that version of the character. Will probably get all the other Primes though. Might get Heatwave if the figure turns out well. Aerialbots are a must-buy for me even if I'm not sold on the frame. Then there's Skybyte!
I wondered how they would do the exoskeleton on the other combiners. I guess they're just going to add random stuff like they did to Astrotrain. Superion doesn't look as good as Menasor. Just doesn't seem to work quite so well.
be cool if they do another kind of Netflix animated series, thought they do that for legacy for whole multiverse story, also i wish Onyx had the more deathsaurus like colors
I think it’s the main reason Takara decide to use star convoy was to justify making sky Gary and grandus toys because their original versions combined with star convoy so they can use them for a brave collaboration because let’s face it that would probably be the only realistic way they could justify making those characters because I’m not sure that they’re that desirable even in Japan and I’m not sure if they’re brave cut parts are more popular or not
Hasbro loves to reuse the modes. Why are they still delaying using the Sludge mode into Paddles? They are both looking close to each other. Just change the face mode and change the legs into flippers and he is done.
The line is looking promising. The Primes, except for the 13th Star OP, Animated Wasp, G1 Aerialbots, Skybite, and G1 Combaticons are a buy for me. I hope that they give us Animated Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge, and the other seekers that wear on the tv series. They would complete my Animated Decepticons and seekers; Starscream, Skywarp, Slipstream, and Sunstorm.
Dammit man. I need to cut down on these things. But im full hype for the 13 primes and the aerial bots. Shit. And are we ever getting a legacy reboost?
Star Optimus Prime? Really Hasbro? I'm going to stick to calling him Star Convoy but, for anyone interested here are my suggestions: Galaxy Optimus Prime Cosmic Optimus Prime Celestial Optimus Prime Interstellar Optimus Prime
I want all of them! But man, That Star Convoy is not a Titan! He is a SUPREME CLASS, the biggest class there was until TITAN came by. There is still nothing bigger than a Supreme Class, save for a Titan. They should bring back the Supreme Class with Star Convoy's price point instead of calling him a Titan.
They now have official images of the Mix Mashers. Non transforming Transformers toys that you can mix the parts of different ones. I covered it in another video so I didn't mention it here.
I'm keen to collect the 13th. Really enjoy the Aligned Covenant lore. But I think I'll skip Star OP, think it will dominate the lineup too much. I'll sub in SS gamer Optimus instead
Disappointed with Superion. All the limb bots should be Voyager so they are in scale with the Siege or Earthrise Seekers and they could have benefitted from better engineering and less waffling. Slingshot's arms look too thin. They took the lazy route of not using their bodies as the limbs and going with a frame like Menasor. I can't see how Silverbolt should be Commander class even with the frame. So he's only a Voyager?! Should have been Leader size. I'll wait for a box set on this when it's heavily discounted like they did with Menasor. It's like they can't get away from making Combiner figures any bigger than Deluxes and the leaders are Voyagers. At least the CW/UW figures were good at less than $20 and they were interchangeable to mimic the Scramble City feature of the originals.
@@sidearmsalpha I found a similar complaint about the Aerialbots not being scale size accuracy. The Aerialbots are supposed to scale with the Stunticons which has been a G1 feat looking at the Combiner wars line up too. Logically speaking yes, the Aerialbots are jets - bigger and wider vehicles. However Hasbro and production designers had never been consistent with the scaling charts. And realistically speaking too, scaling would require a lot of reworks if you want real vehicle scaling- the problem leads of what about the robot scaling?
@@metal_fusionThe Menasor set should have been bigger with Voyager size Stunticons for the 4 limb bots. But now they are bigger than the carbots. Still, I would have preferred Voyagers that are the same size as the Aerialbots. Knowing what Hasbro did with the Stunticons, I'm sure Fireflight is going to be a remold of Slingshot.
I wish the collabs did not have such basic transformation schemes. JP figures do it well enough. At this format, the Melting pot line with so.ething from wverywhere could go on for years and be well recieved. Studio Series, less so. Though all the sublines it added do increase the longevity. Pretty satisfied, all things considered. My biggest annoyance is how I never seem to run out of other things to spend my.money on, whixh is a big ME problem.
I really dont like Superion as a skeleton combiner. With Menasor, I didn't really care, his show design is basically just a big Motormaster with car armor. But Superion is more than that.
I hope they at least have Bruticus the scramble city combiner only so that they could easily re-to it into the commandos from 2001 robots in the disguise
The Cybertron Con is being horribly executed. Hasbro is acting not like a toy company but a financial institution. The only reason they are holding this event is to make themselves look like fools. The 1st day people had to line up for three hours in order to get in because people already inside were fighting for exclusive products which later they can sell online at a ridiculous price. It’s not even a Hasbro product but from another company called Bloks. The meeting the fans session was cancelled without prior notification. No members from the American team was present. Hasbro should choose another country if they ever decided to host another event like this again.
i will not step out of the 13 primes because g 1 fans is always calimed they are not not allowed ok i know that's an't true but that's what i gusse on what they are saying
Prima looks... bland compared to Solus and Megatronus but wither eay im bying him because the only toys i own of the thriteen are the robots in disguise megatronus and the tfrotf the fallen figure and i didnt know they released a better version of that toy some years later because i own the older green one and little me made the forearms loose one of the hands dissapear and feet loose and the head come off a little bit when its not supposed to
No they should not. Superion was formed with them on the back. Doesn't matter if visually you don't prefer it that way. Considering the reaction to Star Optimus Prime by those at Cybertron Con, most people disagree with you.
@@RodimusPrimal to each their own I guess. as for superion, you are right my bad. If people disagree with me, I can handle it. To me, after Titan Tidal Wave, Star COnvoy just is too simplistic. Anyway, to those who are enthusiastic for him I say: great for you :)
15:06 BUT MAN SOMEONE OR NOBODY HAD TO HAVE ALPHA TRION REBUILD PAX INTO PRIME BEFORE THE AERIALBOTS WERE “set up” BY MEGATRON TO BE SET BACK IN TIME🤷♂️ TIME TRAVEL IS OUT OF WACK LOL It’s the “CHICKEN BEFORE THE EGG” thingy 🤣🤣🤣
AIR RAID being an “F-15 Eagle” just like the Decepticon jet “seekers” BETTER BE the same size in JET MODE or I’m done with TF’s altogether! An F-15 in real life doesn’t come in “small, medium, & large” like a soft drink!
4:50 I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS IN A BEAST WARS BOX & IT WAS CALLED “Cybershark” & NOT THAT DUMB “2000” LASTED LIKE “1 season” BECAUSE IT STILL WASN’T REAL “G1” RID RUBBISH. Looking like “Pokémon BANGED Dragon Ball Z” 💩👎🏻

Sky Byte 2001 was my first Transformer!
Unfortunately I was only
four at the time, so I pestered my dad constantly to transform him back and forth. 😅
Optimus 2001 was mine but I wanted Sky-Byte as well
The reveal of the Aerialbots excites me, not to mention Red Alert, Wasp, G2 Grimlock and Star Convoy. But what had me really excited was the small sneak peak of Wave 2 with art of Vortex, can’t wait for the rest of the Combaticons!
I think that when they make the Combaticons later they will make the Protectobots

I was just thinking today, if Megatronus Prime the Fallen was in the G1 Cartoon/Movie, who would voice him. My choice would be Judge Frollo himself, Tony Jay.
Makes sense. I would pick Hugo Weaving.
I would choose Patrick Page, Satan from Helluva Boss.
Kevin Michael Richardson
The late James Earl Jones
I think he would also have fit for Liege.

Also he literally flies a biplane
@batman369able I never knew that, it's pretty cool
I confess that I'm anxious to see the Combaticons, I'm curious if they're going to make the Protectobots
I am definitely getting Bruticus when he is first shown off, we know that we’re gonna get Vortex in this line so I am excited!
Seeing how they've done MotorMaster and Silverbolt, I can't wait to see a Commander Class Onslaught!
@PlatinumKnight-je3vyI wonder if he’ll be 2026’s Studio Series commander.
Because Nexus will have to be the Generations Commander Class.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 No, Onslaught never appeared in the 86 movie and Nexus isn’t guaranteed to be a commander class figure.

The Transformers x Sonic collab was something I definitely didn’t see coming just like the Naruto collab.
I think it did a better job of it personally.
*Yes! The Aerialbots*
Who's the baddest shark around? Who's the smartest shark in town?
Sky-Byte, that's me!
This is A lot Cool Reaves and I love Star Convoy

I never thought they'd give us Transformers Sonic characters, but they do look great 👍
Meg’s line in Transformers One has already aged poorly since the Age of Primes line was announced
More the age of discounts has ended for our wallets 😆
Slingshot should really have a detachable Rolls Royce grill.
All the Aerialbots are very.... plane?! 😂😂😂😂😂
Yep. I meant to say but edited it out - pun intended.
idk much about transformers toy basics but could always do what i do with gunpla and use panel liner ink
Sonic x Transformers collab is definitely unexpected but a pleasant surprise, the figures look great!
What I think is my wallet is gonna be on life support.

Im getting Star Convoy, the 13 Primes, and the g1 combiners. Ill get the rescue bots and rid2001 stuff also. No armada or crossover for me
You say Red Alert not having lights and sounds like it’s a bad thing, not a mercy. 🤣 Wee woo wee woo! 🚨
I'm stoked for Aerialbots! Been wanting them for a long time. Not sure about getting the 13 primes.
Definitely collecting the 12 Primes. (not asked about Star Convoy, sorry) Big fat MAYBE on the Aerialbots. Not a fan of the 'skeleton' method, but I've been wanting a new Superion for a while. Might cave. Time will tell.
I'm definitely excited for all these figures, Hopefully i will be done with legacy time these figures hit shelves.
Im most looking forward to Armada Red Alert, the Fallen, and maybe Solus. Star Convoy looks amazing but idk if I'll be able to get him. AOTP Sky-Byte so far looks amazing but as for Heatwave, I'm opposed to the idea of him as a bulkhead retool personally
I love the review! And I am very excited about the new figures. I hope they do a mini cartoon to them to. That would be awesome.👍🏽😊
Funny thing about Heatwave. I imagined a custom for G1 Inferno out of the Bulkhead mold
Maybe it's for the better that they're going to slow down on the releases, because I pretty much want everything on this list! And giving us a bit more time and possibly more organized stock for everyone to get their hands on, it might be the smarter option after all.

Also the Sonic collaboration figures are adorable!
Getting Devastator, Superion, and Bruticus back-to-back is awesome! That Star Convoy is really something. Including both Micromaster Hot Rod and THE Zodiac makes that set for me. I’ve always loved getting new figures based on the deep lore of Japanese G1.
However, it does dampen the appeal of HasLab for me and makes me wonder why they couldn’t just release RID Prime and Magnus as regular releases-let alone Star Saber, Deathsaurus, or Victory Leo. Star Convoy is arguably a much deeper cut than any of those characters. But since he’s an Optimus Prime, I can see why Hasbro would be more confident in putting him out at retail.
I'm definitely hyped for Prima, Solus, and Megatronus. If I can't get all 13 I'll at least get those three.
Everyone else looks great. Especially Skybite (that's me).
Funny that Sonic and Tails's alt modes are the same vehicles the LEGO Dimensions pack included.
I'm still hoping for Evac (and Scourge to complete the Cyber Planet Key Guardians set). Maybe they can PR Metroplex and Override and include their keys (and Drillbit for the former) as a bonus? Or release a Minicon pack that includes all four keys?
I hope we get a Zeta prime that I can use for the 13th prime. Maybe when more Studio series figures for ONE come out. Really tired of Optimus being the 13th.
I still want that Titan though.
Great video.
I hope they do all 5 dinobots in G2 colors.
Yes, let them do the Sludge and Swoop ones
I'm genuinely excited for the Aerialbots, my favorite combiner team imo. I'm dead set to get them all they look so good fr but Solus?? She looks amazing too! My wallet is gonna hate me fr lol
I'm looking forward to get that new Superion! It looks awesome!😁
I picked up Star Raider Filch today.
Filch: Shiny?
Me: no, there's no shiny. Just some hype news.
Filch: Shiny?
Me: Yes it would be cool if we got more RID2015 cons.
I wish they'd do a Shadow the Hedgehog transformer. Maybe have Shadow change into his car or bike.
That Star Convoy looks pretty expensive lol
10:25 i personally hate stickers.
That super jet mode for Silverbolt looks pretty cool.
I do compliment the way they're attempting to make show accurate combiners.
I think it's great that the Fallen comes with the Requiem Blaster.
The sonic one looks like if Sonicman from the 2006 game got the Turbo Teen curse.
I do want to get the aerialbots, however, I plan on picking up Air Raid & Slingshot this coming week, I'll have to wait to get more funds for Silverbolt though, hoping that Silverbolt won't sell out on Amazon.....🤦🏼♂️ Or anywhere else, for that matter......😒
Although, my wallet is gonna kill me, going in, in 2 combiners, next year, that being Superion & Devastator! 😂
Definitely going for the g2 grimlock
It be funny is Slingshot came with the car hood like in the cartoon
Missed opportunity!
The Solus Prime figure looks great and I like the controversy about who the first female Transformer is with Arcee being the first one created for the franchise, Elita-1 being the first female warrior, Beta at the beginning of the Autobots era, and Solus Prime being the sole female of the Primes. It’s a bummer that they did away with the Core class figures since Micronus should be in that class instead of being a deluxe because he’s the smallest of the Primes with him being a Mini-Con. Onyx Prime looks cool for an art piece and I wonder how they will go about him with an alt-mode since he feels like he’s in a mix of his robot mode and his beast mode. I’m hoping that they make figures of Moonracer and Firestar for the Age of the Primes toyline!
Sonics car mode isnt based on the 2010 game. The blue speedstar was majorly redesigned for Racing transformed and this is more based on that look
Cant wait for superion
I will maybe get him but I am mostly gonna focus on the SS86 Constructicons & Devastator, will still see if I’ll get both?
@PlatinumKnight-je3vy same here, i just love combiners, sad i missed menasour
19:47 totally want a green grimlock. I like blue but the green would call back undermine from cybertron and rid 2015/2001
I’ve never really been a big fan of the 13 Primes concept, partly because…
1) I generally prefer it when the word Prime is simply Optimus’s last name like in G1 or an Autobot military rank like in Transformers Animated, as opposed to some sort of cybertronian Demi-god status, like a “Super Saiyan” or something, makes Megatron & other con leaders seem like underdogs when compared to their Autobot rivals.
2) the 13 primes are supposed to be important characters, but up until now they’ve rarely had toys made of them unless they were characters who predated the 13 prime concept, like Alpha Trion, so it’s harder to care about them since they’re mostly used to explain the existence of ancient relics the bots and cons fight over. So yeah, better late than never on the toy front, giving faces to their names finally and what not. I do like what we’ve seen of their new designs so far, none of them seem to be obvious retools or repaints & the fact they finally have alt modes of their own is a big deal given how they’re supposed to be the first transformers lol. Onyx Prime has me curious, as the first beast former he should be my “favorite” 13th prime but the centaur like aspects of his appearance has always struck me as something fanciful or over-designed that the artists came up with rather than something that could work as an actual action figure, so I’m curious to see how his beast and robot modes will look & function in toy format…I’ve always felt he’d work better with a more simplified hippogriff beast mode, keeps both the avian and equine aspects of his design but makes it easier to make a proper robot mode for him, & easier to transform as a toy. I do like the idea of the first beast former changing into a mythical creature rather than a normal animal.
3) The 13 primes are supposed to be legendary figures in transformers lore like Hercules, King Arthur, or Gilgamesh are in Earth mythology, but they will NEVER be as legendary in the eyes of the fandom as the original characters they are meant to predate. Megatron will always be more legendary than Megatronus for example, & I’ve never liked the idea of Megs naming himself after an allegedly more ancient & greater villain than himself, it works for Beast era Megatron because he’s naming himself after the greatest “hero” in Decepticon history to symbolize how he sees himself as destined to follow in his footsteps as the future leader of all Predacons. To be fair though, I did prefer how in TF One, Megatronus was instead a heroic figure who died tragically at the hands of someone he trusted, & Megatron is essentially an enraged fan who named himself after his fallen hero in defiance of said hero’s killer, but sadly doesn’t realize he’s tainting his hero’s legacy in the process with his own truly evil actions.
Sorry for the wall of text, great video!
Age of the Primes Superion is a Third Party Version and the Sunbow Accurate respectively.
I hope we'll get a Titant Class Powermaster Optimus Prime and Murader Megatron Soon.
I am very sad to see the Legacy trilogy concluding soon but am so glad that this line will be the successor! I love the look of everything shown off recently, I want to get the majority of the ones shown off in wave one! My main focuses will be the leader Megatronus, deluxe TFA Wasp & Solus, voyager Armada Red Alert & Prima. I might get either the titan Star Optimus Prime or Superion, it all depends on which I want more out of the two?
Considering my money, I think ST-01 might be my last hoorah. I've had a good year, but it's spiked massively in the UK.
I love the crossover for sonic and tails that is on must get list
i have a big theory on him that totally reshapes the G1 Lore, so we know about how the 13th Prime is possibly the Reincarnation of Optimus Prime, but this is Star Convoy and in Battle Stars, Star Convoy as the Final Form of Optimus Prime. What if this is the 13th Prime was Star Convoy that reincarnated into Orion pax/Optimus Prime, and during Battle Stars, He finally reawakens his true Godly Prime Power from he was in the past.
Star OP looks cool, but I'm going to pass on him as I have no connection with that version of the character. Will probably get all the other Primes though. Might get Heatwave if the figure turns out well. Aerialbots are a must-buy for me even if I'm not sold on the frame. Then there's Skybyte!
When are the Amazon preorders going up?
Tuesday.
@@RodimusPrimalWas there a specific time?
@@jdpragmatic8644 1pm Eastern time. I'll put up affiliate links but they'll be everywhere
I wondered how they would do the exoskeleton on the other combiners. I guess they're just going to add random stuff like they did to Astrotrain. Superion doesn't look as good as Menasor. Just doesn't seem to work quite so well.
be cool if they do another kind of Netflix animated series, thought they do that for legacy for whole multiverse story, also i wish Onyx had the more deathsaurus like colors
Hope to hear more about transformers one sequel and the gi joe crossover
I think it’s the main reason Takara decide to use star convoy was to justify making sky Gary and grandus toys because their original versions combined with star convoy so they can use them for a brave collaboration because let’s face it that would probably be the only realistic way they could justify making those characters because I’m not sure that they’re that desirable even in Japan and I’m not sure if they’re brave cut parts are more popular or not
05:58. Is that a Go-Bot on the right?
Hasbro loves to reuse the modes. Why are they still delaying using the Sludge mode into Paddles? They are both looking close to each other. Just change the face mode and change the legs into flippers and he is done.
If i had I'd hope to get red alert from this
hope we get a PowerMaster Optimus from the siege magnus
Kinda bummed out. When it was first came out about it, I thought it was really going to look like the TFOne primes. They're design are peak
The line is looking promising. The Primes, except for the 13th Star OP, Animated Wasp, G1 Aerialbots, Skybite, and G1 Combaticons are a buy for me. I hope that they give us Animated Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge, and the other seekers that wear on the tv series. They would complete my Animated Decepticons and seekers; Starscream, Skywarp, Slipstream, and Sunstorm.
Dammit man. I need to cut down on these things. But im full hype for the 13 primes and the aerial bots. Shit. And are we ever getting a legacy reboost?
Star Optimus Prime? Really Hasbro? I'm going to stick to calling him Star Convoy but, for anyone interested here are my suggestions:
Galaxy Optimus Prime
Cosmic Optimus Prime
Celestial Optimus Prime
Interstellar Optimus Prime
I’d honestly just drop the Optimus and call him star prime, in the same way they called lio convoy ‘leo prime’ in legacy.
@@LuntshTabilGaeming just call him star prime
How tall does Star Convoy appear to be in robot mode?
really not interested in most of the toys, but I am interested in the aerialbots, maybe red alert. Dunno about the combaticons yet
I thought the sonic crossover would have been a blurr retool 😆
I want all of them! But man, That Star Convoy is not a Titan! He is a SUPREME CLASS, the biggest class there was until TITAN came by. There is still nothing bigger than a Supreme Class, save for a Titan. They should bring back the Supreme Class with Star Convoy's price point instead of calling him a Titan.
That would make more sense!
Didn’t purchase Menasor bcuz of the Breakdown major screwup.
28:03 Bottom row, third picture. What the heck is that??
They now have official images of the Mix Mashers. Non transforming Transformers toys that you can mix the parts of different ones. I covered it in another video so I didn't mention it here.
I'm keen to collect the 13th. Really enjoy the Aligned Covenant lore. But I think I'll skip Star OP, think it will dominate the lineup too much. I'll sub in SS gamer Optimus instead
I’m sure Nexus will be big enough for OP to not stand out too much.
And I hope Liege Maximo is 2026’s Titan Class.
Disappointed with Superion. All the limb bots should be Voyager so they are in scale with the Siege or Earthrise Seekers and they could have benefitted from better engineering and less waffling. Slingshot's arms look too thin. They took the lazy route of not using their bodies as the limbs and going with a frame like Menasor. I can't see how Silverbolt should be Commander class even with the frame. So he's only a Voyager?! Should have been Leader size. I'll wait for a box set on this when it's heavily discounted like they did with Menasor. It's like they can't get away from making Combiner figures any bigger than Deluxes and the leaders are Voyagers. At least the CW/UW figures were good at less than $20 and they were interchangeable to mimic the Scramble City feature of the originals.
@@sidearmsalpha
I found a similar complaint about the Aerialbots not being scale size accuracy. The Aerialbots are supposed to scale with the Stunticons which has been a G1 feat looking at the Combiner wars line up too. Logically speaking yes, the Aerialbots are jets - bigger and wider vehicles. However Hasbro and production designers had never been consistent with the scaling charts.
And realistically speaking too, scaling would require a lot of reworks if you want real vehicle scaling- the problem leads of what about the robot scaling?
You can’t really fit the necessary ratchet joints into a retail figure.
@@metal_fusionThe Menasor set should have been bigger with Voyager size Stunticons for the 4 limb bots. But now they are bigger than the carbots. Still, I would have preferred Voyagers that are the same size as the Aerialbots. Knowing what Hasbro did with the Stunticons, I'm sure Fireflight is going to be a remold of Slingshot.
I wish the collabs did not have such basic transformation schemes. JP figures do it well enough.
At this format, the Melting pot line with so.ething from wverywhere could go on for years and be well recieved.
Studio Series, less so. Though all the sublines it added do increase the longevity.
Pretty satisfied, all things considered.
My biggest annoyance is how I never seem to run out of other things to spend my.money on, whixh is a big ME problem.
Oh hear me out, next commander class will be nexus prime, and the next titan class will be primus.
I really dont like Superion as a skeleton combiner. With Menasor, I didn't really care, his show design is basically just a big Motormaster with car armor. But Superion is more than that.
Where's noba
To be honest i am only getting the Primes
I hope they at least have Bruticus the scramble city combiner only so that they could easily re-to it into the commandos from 2001 robots in the disguise
The Cybertron Con is being horribly executed. Hasbro is acting not like a toy company but a financial institution. The only reason they are holding this event is to make themselves look like fools. The 1st day people had to line up for three hours in order to get in because people already inside were fighting for exclusive products which later they can sell online at a ridiculous price. It’s not even a Hasbro product but from another company called Bloks. The meeting the fans session was cancelled without prior notification. No members from the American team was present. Hasbro should choose another country if they ever decided to host another event like this again.
Why the fudge did they premier that in China
They've had that Transformers convention held there since 2010.
Nova
i will not step out of the 13 primes because g 1 fans is always calimed they are not not allowed ok i know that's an't true but that's what i gusse on what they are saying
Comment
Prima looks... bland compared to Solus and Megatronus but wither eay im bying him because the only toys i own of the thriteen are the robots in disguise megatronus and the tfrotf the fallen figure and i didnt know they released a better version of that toy some years later because i own the older green one and little me made the forearms loose one of the hands dissapear and feet loose and the head come off a little bit when its not supposed to
Silverbolt looks BAD. It looks like it’s been carved out of soap.
the jets on the legs of superion should be on the front not on the back !
and star convoy..... YEEEEESSSHHHHH! what a lame thing
No they should not. Superion was formed with them on the back. Doesn't matter if visually you don't prefer it that way. Considering the reaction to Star Optimus Prime by those at Cybertron Con, most people disagree with you.
@@RodimusPrimal to each their own I guess. as for superion, you are right my bad.
If people disagree with me, I can handle it. To me, after Titan Tidal Wave, Star COnvoy just is too simplistic. Anyway, to those who are enthusiastic for him I say: great for you :)
15:06 BUT MAN SOMEONE OR NOBODY HAD TO HAVE ALPHA TRION REBUILD PAX INTO PRIME BEFORE THE AERIALBOTS WERE “set up” BY MEGATRON TO BE SET BACK IN TIME🤷♂️
TIME TRAVEL IS OUT OF WACK LOL
It’s the “CHICKEN BEFORE THE EGG” thingy 🤣🤣🤣
AIR RAID being an “F-15 Eagle” just like the Decepticon jet “seekers” BETTER BE the same size in JET MODE or I’m done with TF’s altogether!
An F-15 in real life doesn’t come in “small, medium, & large” like a soft drink!
0:54 They can make this DUMB THING. a Sega character into a dust crop plan, but they can’t make a new “POWERGLIDE”?
Just DUMB👎🏻
4:50 I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS IN A BEAST WARS BOX & IT WAS CALLED “Cybershark” & NOT THAT DUMB “2000” LASTED LIKE “1 season” BECAUSE IT STILL WASN’T REAL “G1” RID RUBBISH. Looking like “Pokémon BANGED Dragon Ball Z” 💩👎🏻
