    Who else expects Blast Off, Repugnus and Counterpunch to be revealed at SDCC?

    Who expects them to shop up in Asia (or someplace random, like Argentina or Turkey) prior to that?

    Yea probably I can see them getting leaked from Asia before then though, I'm surprised they have not yet.

    I had SDCC down for the War for Cybertron reveal....

    But yeah, a bunch of special editions is a possibility.

    This leads me to think there's at least two more out there, with Amalgamous, Nexus and their Decoy armour. Onyx & Armour too if we're lucky....

    I’ve been wondering if we are going to have a Grotesque 2.0 situation where they get revealed and then immedietly go up on HTS. I’d also bet Nemesis was to be revealed there as well because he has to be getting close to release.

    Regardless, I’m keeping some money saved up and I’ll be ready for Hasbro’s panel on the 19th so I don’t miss out.

    BBTS' Predaking description is interesting, and looks like blurb handed down by Hasbro

    Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking

    So is there another Onyx out there?

    I'm guessing we'll see (rampant speculation incoming) Amalgamous with Primal Prime and Nexus with a Piranacon box set.

    Super excited to see both modes. I'm guessing a Jazz retool, but I could also see a Chromedome retool being feasible

    Still not impossible to see the Decoy Suits - it mentions being "ice blue" which implies it is a special edition version of an existing figure.

    However, it might also be a special edition of something planned and not released.

    Knowing Hasbro, I'm surprised they arent re-releasing the TFCC figure.

    Very interesting indeed! I'm glad they are sacrificing a combiner mode to do a faithful punch/counterpunch. Still, with these 3 exclusives (blastoff, repugnus, p/cp) they just mention "prime armor" and not "decoy armor/suit" so my suspicion is we're NOT getting suits in these releases...

    Oh wow. Oh wow. Am I really seeing this right? Counterpunch's Autobot counterpart is nearby? Like, actually nearby? I am really hoping this figure is good. I'm not sure what else to say; I'm just kinda shocked that they are actually doing a Punch/Counterpunch. SDCC needs to come here faster, so that someone on Weibo can leak a half-blurred image a week out from the event.

    Punch/Counterpunch would've been perfect for TR, with two different Titan Masters.

    I just hope this will not be something that is on sale for 3 hours before disappearing for good.

    Wow. Plans do change. Glad the budget got a major increase then for the trilogy celebratory figures.

    Much thanks Hasbro. That's awesome!
    Glad the Prima plans changed too, but this one seems like a rather odd one to include that character with. You'd think Amalgamous would have been more fitting. Not complaining though. Prima is definitely one of those I want to see released since his Prime Master core is more like his actual concept art head. Seems kind of odd though that the other 2 releases were repaints and this one gets the first Prime. Granted, was probably planned confusingly that way too for other reasons. And moderately does make sense to better highlight the Megatronus/Solus connection to then correlate that back to Prima as the first Prime. And there are also connecting aspects that can be made from Prima to Punch/Counterpunch with how Prima was the first of Primus' creations that all others came from which includes the two factions of which Punch/Counterpunch are of both. Extra fitting because Prima originally was one of the first that was supposed to be made before it got pushed back for other reasons. TBH, his concept design is relatively what gave birth to the entire POTP concept in general. So this is rather fitting as an end note for the trilogy.

    Really glad Hasbro is celebrating the Prime trilogy this much though. Glad it's something they really liked and went over so well with fans. That's awesome to know how appreciated it is.
    This is a great way to end the Prime Wars trilogy before going into the WFC trilogy figures.

    Sounds very similar to the plan for Megatronus

    I really hope the give us a few weeks to prep up and order these. odds are i'll be at work and miss my chance. i lucked out when grotusk happened and i had that day off from the lack of working buses.

    Have you considered the notion that he could have those two robot modes and still be a combiner limb? I have no idea about how to pull that off, but it'll be hella cool, don'tcha think?

    Also, I think it's very ironic that Punch/Counterpunch - the shadiest and most untrustable Transformer this side of Cybertron (and possibly even the other side as well), comes with Prima, the paragon of truth, justice, and virtue.
