Augusto Barranco has uploaded some concept artwork he did for Transformers Prime to his Deviant Art page. The concepts include several shots of Dreadwing’s ship, shown only briefly in the series itself, as well as the iconic setting of the bridge of the Decepticon warship Nemesis and the gorgeous artwork used in series for the flashbacks in the season 1 finale, showing the early days of the war for Cybertron and Primus’ original 13 Transformers.
Check out the artwork on Augusto’s Deviant Art page by clicking here.

Where did you guys even come from with this?

The Thirteen did not get character models (except for Alpha Trion), but each of the several matte paintings featuring them is a prominent part of The Art of Prime.

The Irony being that Dreadwing's Cyberverse Commander toy is to wide to fit inside the toy based on his ship.

For God's sake, these concept arts have been online for several months! Why have you only now made a news post about them?
Digilaut
Wait, what? Dreadwing's ship is the Sky Claw?! Can't remember it appearing on the show, but that's definitely the same design they used for the cyberverse toy.

I guess they will slowly introduce them in future serials.
My bet is on Vector as the first

Agreed. I would've loved to see them as at least paintings like Alpha Trion was in Alpha/Omega and Rebellion so we could see them better than this. Or we could've seen final concept art of them (maybe in the Art of Prime book?).

Does anyone have that image of the 13 Primes without all the text and nice and big? I had it once but haven't been able to find it again…
Edit – Nvm, doing a search on Google netted me one lol

Awesome pics jalaguy. Nicely done.

The Megatronus really feels like they based it on Megatron, rather than having Megatron base himself off of the Prime.
Which is a shame. I want blade-face The Fallen.

Here's a fully labelled version I did a while back from episode screenshots, based on obvious traits like Vector's circle-chest, Nexus's unique limbs, etc., the previews we've seen of the Covenant of Primus, and process of elimination.
Obviously the one on the far right, cut off in the episode (and thus my image), is Solus Prime.

Good luck telling them apart.
Well, except Solus. Because based on that picture, she had some pointy-ass tits.

When will we actually finally get around to developing these characters…like AT ALL.

That's nice for the fiction part of what I was referring to, but it's also a rather expensive book which, while based on the preview was remarkably nicely written, is still an expensive book. I'm looking for something more general, movies, cartoons, something.
That and, you know, the toys. I did mention the toys, right?

… what the hell does that have to do with it? This forum is for discussing the TFP cartoon, therefore we're only taking into consideration what was shown in it.

we know who he is, his name is thirteen, seriously.
and for everybody who has posted on this thread so far, do you seriously have no concept or knowledge of the upcoming covenant of primus book, really?

Interesting designs, too bad they were completely wasted by only being in a brief flashback
