    So I was just looking on TFWiki and noticed there's still no listing for Nexus or Amalgamous there are however listings for repaints of Megatronus and Solus... Did Hasbro forget that there are still two missing Prime Masters they haven't even released yet before repainting existing molds?

    They're also being released it seems with repaints of CW Blast Off and TR Repugnus... so they're Amazon exclusives which are just repaints of toys that have already been released... WTF, why? The Wiki also says that they showed up with no announcement from Hasbro...

    My thinking, they're listed that way on Amazon because they can't reveal what the figures really are until after Hasbro releases an official announcement. Why else would these seemingly boring and unnessicary figures be appearing along side Punch/CounterPunch and Prima. I think the other two should include the last two missing Prime Masters Nexus and Amalgmous not Megatronus and Solus but no clue as to what the actual figures they would be released with.

    My best guess for possible deluxes... Elita-One is missing two fembots to complete her combined mode or just to represent the other fembots who were under her command. Greenlight and Lancer. Pretty much every other G1 Fembot has a toy now except those two. Though I don't know why they would be released as Amazon exclusive when the other Fembots were mass retale.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the missing Prime Masters with shells were set for some type of con box set. They could re-mold existing shells and the cost to make the new parts probably would be equal to or less than what it cost them to do the remolding for Arcee or Grotusque.

    remember the wiki is edited by all of us, so it may or may not be 100% accurate when it comes to upcoming figures that haven't been shown to us yet. I am pretty sure Repugnus isn't a reissue of the TR Titan Master, I could've sworn that we heard it would be a deluxe. probably a retool of Grotesque/Twinferno. Wait until SDCC and we'll probably get at least some news about the future releases.

    Wasn't talking about the Titan Master. Repugnus got a Deluxe figure that I believe was also an Amazon exclusive late in the run of Titans Return. That figure already came out so it makes no sense to release it again with a Prime Master we also got already. All three figures I mentioned were deluxe class so not Titan Master. I should of specified that in my first post but I forgot the Titan Master even existed.

    Here's a list of Prime Masters.

    Standard releases:
    Vector Prime (Metalhawk)
    Micronus (Cloudburst)
    Liege Maximo (Skullgrin)
    Alpha Trion (Landmine)
    Alchemist Prime (Submarauder)
    Solus Prime (Octopunch)
    Quintus Prime (Bludgeon)
    Megatronus (Bomb-Burst)

    Non-standard releases:
    Oynx Prime (included with Predaking)
    Special Edition Megatronus (included with Blast Off)
    Special Edition Solus Prime (included with Repugnus)
    Special Edition Prima (included with Punch/Counterpunch)

    Unaccounted Prime Masters (these were shown on a poster/card included with Predaking, but how they will see release is currently unknown):
    Prima
    Nexus Prime
    Amalgamous Prime

    Additionally, a Waverider retool of the Cloudburst shell seemingly exists, and Takara would've included a translucent green version of it with Legends Grand Maximus, had he reached 3,000 pre-orders within the three-week deadline.

    Actually both of them were released. Repugnus is a retool of Grotesque.

    Why did you list Prima as being unaccounted for when we already know and you even literally just listed him right before that? He's being sold with Punch/CounterPunch. Nexus and Amalgamous are the other ones unaccounted for at this point.

    1. Do you have this deluxe Repugnus?

    2. He listed Prima like that because the one that comes with Punch/Counterpunch is a clear version.

    3. Don't worry about it the missing three(nonclear versions) will be PotP wave 4(along with Novastar and whoever else we don't know about yet), do just take a deep breth, wait for the news for SDCC, and see what happens.:thumb (and NO I don't like waiting ether, but...:tumbleweed: )

    1. Nope but I seen a review of the figure on TJOmega's YouTube channel.

    2. How do you know it's a clear version? TFWiki didn't even say what the colors of these Amazon Prime Masters would be so how do you know that when no one else does?

    3. I would kinda hope that Onyx would get a standard release as well in wave 4 just to make him cheaper to get than having to buy Predaking though at this point we have no idea what is being released in this wave.

    Okay, some facts here. TFWiki uses the same sources we all have access to, some of it may even have been added by me.


    a) The Titans Return line only had a single-packed Repugnus Prime Master with beast/vehicle/weapon accessory. There was no official Hasbro-released Deluxe Repugnus under Titans Return, the only Monsterbots we got were Twinferno (Doublecross) who was then retooled into Grotusque.
    91vxu9O9gXL._SL500_.jpg 81NVAuEF9OL._SL500_.jpg 71h30lDIUxL._SL500_.jpg

    b) Information for the "Special Edition" Deluxes came out piece by piece.

    1) Back in December of last year, images from the back of several toys' packaging was leaked through Asian sources, which included a Deluxe Blast Off that appeared to use the Takara Unite Warriors tooling, although all images of the toy itself were blurred out with a purple eraser tool. This image also revealed that Blast Off would come with a translucent version of the Megatronus Prime Master figure. (Source)

    2) Then, in January of this year, package art for several upcoming toys was leaked, which included an unedited version of Blast Off's alternate mode that showed that yes, this was indeed the Unite Warriors tooling, but redecoed into colors similar to Hasbro's Combiner Wars Blast Off (Quickslinger redeco) figure. (Source)
    02-Power-Of-The-Primes-Blast-Art.jpg

    3) Only a day later, a listing for a "Special Edition" Generations Blast Off Deluxe figure was discovered at US-based toy distributor ACD Distribution's website, along with a never-before-heard-of "Special Edition" Repugnus figure. The listings at ACD Distribution have since been removed. (Source)

    4) Also still in January, I discovered a listing for "Special Edition" Blast Off at Amazon US: (Source)

    5) In February, I discovered that the Amazon US listing for Blast Off had been updated and now not only mentioned the Megatronus Prime Master figure, but also revealed that the figure was branded as part of the Combiner Wars line. (Source)

    6) Also in February, a listing for a "Special Edition" Deluxe Counterpunch figure was discovered at Amazon Canada: (Source)

    7) A day later, I discovered that "Special Edition" Blast Off was now also listed at Amazon Canada: (Source)

    8) In May, I then discovered a listing at Amazon Canada for "Special Edition" Repugnus: (Source)

    9) At the beginning of June, the Amazon US counterpart to the Canadian listing for Repugnus had finally been added and revealed that the figure was branded as part of the Titans Return line and would come with both a Titan Master figure named "Dastard" and a Solus Prime Prime Master figure. (Source)

    10) A few weeks ago, I discovered that the Amazon US counterpart to the Canadian listing for Counterpunch had finally been added and listed the figure as "Punch-Counterpunch", and also revealed that he was branded as part of the Power of the Primes line and would come with a Prima Prime Master figure. (Source)

    c) At no point have the "Special Edition" Deluxe figures ever been confirmed to be Amazon exclusives. In fact, both Blast Off and Repugnus being listed at ACD Distribution suggests they may be an "online exclusive" kind of deal like the Combiner Wars May Mayhem figures and box sets.

    Dude he's reviewed all three versions of Repugnus not just G1. Not confusing G1 with a nonexistent toy either as I clearly remember three totally different figures and reviews.

    OK I've actually looked it up oddly I can not find that review but the upcoming PotP Repugnus I found a picture and it's the exact same Grotesque retool that I sware I remember TJ reviewing as a late Titans Returns release... Grotesque himself is still on TJ's channel but there should of been a Repugnus review just a week or two after that was posted.

    I'm litterally remembering an entire video that apperantly never existed. There was even a part where TJ had all three figures in bug mode at the same time. G1, the Titan Master armor thing, and the Deluxe retool of Grotesque were all on camera. I think I'm being Mandella Effected here... I sware Hasbro has already released this figure in my reality, this is why I was so confused as to why they were releasing it again with a Prime Master.

    Wait... so does that mean that you never had CW Blast Off either? There were two different versions of him. The first Blast Off was just a repaint of one of the Aierealbots but Takara rather than using that mold actually made him a shuttle. Hasbro later released the shuttle mold late in the run of Combiner Wars along with the Deluxe version of Groove and some other alternate limbs to make them more G1 accurate. The others were just repaints of existing molds to replace Alpha Bravo and Off Road. I'm almost certain from the general shape that was posted above that's the Takara Blast Off mold that they released instead of the Airealbot repaint. A figure which I remember Hasbro also released at the same time as deluxe Groove.

    So these toys I've seen before minus the Prime Masters are new to everyone else here? To me Punch/CounterPunch is the only one who's actually new.

    Your memory fails you greatly.
    Hasbro did not release the UW Blast Off alongside Groove and there was not a deluxe Repugnus in Titans Return.

    Hasbro hasn't released any pics of the figure yet. Its just speculation that he is a retool of grotesque. and I have UW Blast off and CW Blast Off. I got the UW set when it first came out because I want blast off to be a shuttle. the plane is a "new" character to me. just like Rook or Alpha Bravo or Off Road. The Auxiliary sixth member of the team (or 7th in terms of the Protectobots if you include Legends Groove or Blackkack with menasor)

    Yeah forgetting things is one thing but when I have memories of figures and reviews that apparently never existed... I gotta be from a different universe.

    Well now I know why they're being released in PotP even though I thought those figures were already released before.

    It's also possible that you had a dream about TJOmega reviewing a Deluxe Class Repugnus. I've had several dreams about finding upcoming or non-existent Transformers in stores, but I never had any dreams about watching somebody else reviewing upcoming or non-existent Transformers.

    Ah man this hurts to read haha. There’s a headmaster Repugnus from TR, Twinferno/Doublecross and Grotusque have been released in deluxe scale using the same mold. There’s a popular photoshop of Repugnus as a retool if Grotusque that’s been floating around. Potp Repugnus is a headmaster deluxe with a prime master bonus figure that we have not seen.
