Indeed. Also the reason I've canceled my PE Ultra Magnus Upgrade.

 

Me too. An official deluxe cab that can also store/comes with a Matrix? Yes please. I know I shouldn't confuse hope with possibilty, but the that fact that smaller bots combine with suits just makes me feel like Star Saber is practically a given at this point too.

 

I'm kinda hoping they might do a leader-class The Fallen and/or Nova Prime..

 

I'm almost certain the leaders will be the following. Although with Hasbro's penchant for repaints, I'm not exactly certain how this will pan out. Perhaps they'll do a bajillion seeker repaints to save on their production budget :

Rodimus Prime
Optimus Primal
Ultra Magnus - 1986 movie Matrix bearer and obvious toy gimmick
Thunderwing - 1988 Marvel comic Matrix Bearer
Star Saber - obvious character toy gimmick
Deszaras

 

So I've been looking at this image and I think I know who most of the unknown Prime Masters are (Well, which Pretenders they are based on. I don't have many ideas of which Primes they represent.) Here's what I think:

These I'm positive on:
1) Purple w/ blue legs = Submarauder
2) Red = Cloudburst
3) Blue = Bomb-Burst
4) Gray = Landmine
5) Black = Waverider

These I'm not so sure about:

1) GPS Gold = Carnivac or Snarler (Both have gold, but the Prime Master lacks any trace of purple they should have. Probably more likely Carnivac because he's more popular)
2/3) Yellow (BL), Yellow (TR) = Catilla or Chainclaw (Like above, both have yellow, but the Prime Masters in the image lack the gray they also should possess. If my Carnivac guess is right, it's also probably just Catilla and not Chainclaw and if that's the case, then I think it's most likely the TR yellow one. I then have no idea about the BL Yellow one, maybe Gunrunner??? But...)
4) Orange = Gunrunner??? Crossblades??? (I'm not sure about this one. It could be Gunrunner or Crossblades, but I'm also not sure about how the orange PM doesn't have a glowing symbol on their front, which makes me wonder if there will be more figures sold as Prime Masters that aren't the Thirteen Primes, or if it is just an art error).

What do people think?

 

There's no Bludgeon on your list.

 

Yeah, and I would like to see a Bludgeon Power Suit made, but out of the PMs on the image, there's no one that's green like I think Bludgeon would be. Maybe he could be the orange one, but I think he'd be mostly green.

 

They're threads about the "Combiner Wars" toy line and the "Titan's Return" toy line, not the Combiner Wars combining gimmick or the Titan's Return Headmaster gimmick. Same here. Any appreciation for toys from Power of the Primes toy line, regardless of what they do, gets put here, same as everything else. That's how it was meant to be.

 

I watch both the Combiner Wars and Titans Return appreciation threads and they have very different tones from each other, as well as their own conversations and regular posters. I don't think either of those groups would like being merged together or to have a third topic shoehorned in. Unless an admin comes in and says this thread shouldn't exist, there doesn't seem to be much sense in posting here to complain that it does.

 

I'll be posting combining figures appreciation in this thread and the CW one as appropriate. I cannot wait to start mixing and matching even more

 

I can't stress how pumped I am for this line. That Rodimus is a thing of beauty, and I love that he has Hot Rod as a cab. I'm tempted to turn it into a custom Powermaster Rodimus.

Speaking of, does anyone have a picture of Hot Rod from this release? I heard there were pics floating around but I can't locate them.

Also, the possibility that we might have some more CW bots to add-on is fantastic. Can't wait to add them to the mix. Here's to hoping we'll still get a UW Blastoff release!

 

I'm already appreciating...
Confirmed (presumably) for Wave 1

Speculative full Wave 1

 

That thought hadnt occured to me. Hopefully it's a straight release and not a severe remolding

 

My time is up (The creator of the TR Appreciation thread), but yours soon will be too. @TyrantGalvatron

The only figures which I find pretty good from this line are Beachcomber, Skullgrin (Liege Máximo) and Rodimus Convoy.

Honestly Jazz and SS looks like crap, don't get me wrong, Jazz has potential (I cannot wait to see a Sideswipe), but SS is looks a lot like a Hero Masher toy.

It would be amazing that in this line we would get a Leader Class Thunderwing, probably with a simmilar gimmick to Rodimus.

 

Is he? I totally missed that!

 

Exactly. This thread is perfectly fine.

Darkwing is in Wave 2. That was stated in the panel.

There are 2 Deluxe, 1 Voyager, 3 Prime Masters and 1 Leader(Primal) to still be revealed for wave 1.

Edit: I guess AutobotAvalanche already pointed that out. =3

 

I'm really excited about Dreadwind and Darkwing. I wish they had their combined super jet mode displayed. I always saw them as a bit larger than deluxe though. Deep down I was hoping that they would have been made into the same size at Cerebros. In between a deluxe and voyager.

Starscream looks pretty good. Looking forward to owning voyager seekers.

Jazz looks good, he's a definite buy.

I was hoping that a Rodimus Prime would have been voyager sized to match previous Optimus Primes. In my opinion, leader class should be reserved for the big guys (i.e. Ultra Magnus, Overlord, Ginrai, etc...)

All in all, I'm really looking forward to the POTP line.

 

Ok, quick question...

Hasbro confirmed there'd be 12 Prime Masters right? (and the 13th is the Matrix/whoever it 'chooses' to be Prime), however the Promo artwork only shows 11? See for yourself...

I can't see it being accidental, I think there may be a story reason/spoiler why it's not shown... You 'could' argue one is already stashed in Rodimus, but I doubt Hasbro are that obtuse.

Btw, I'm totally calling Bludgeon as Megatronus now, perfect fit! Octopunch is also perfect for Quintus Prime, I bet he has tentacles & everything! Man, I love this line already...

 

 

Can someone build a meme-generator with this image? I'd throw in:

Hot Rod: "Fuck! Primal is stealing my shit again!"

 

"Priiiime! Tell Primal off, the monkey's taken my toy! It was totally mine & I was playing with it, make him give it back..."
