As an update to the previous story about the new Transformers: Power of the Primes figures being shown at the Transformers area of Hascon, we have more images of the display cases with the same figures from different angles, and some new additions and alternate configurations for the likes of Starscream and his combined mode on the packaging art, Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime, Optimus Prime / Orion Pax, Dinobot Slash, the Blackwing and Dreadwind jets in their combined mode. Check out the images below!

looks like the Hotrod part of RP might be bigger than expected. makes me wonder if he'll scale well with TR Galvatron.

That deluxe Hot Rod is freaken amazing looking. I cant believe he looks so dead on for a toy that is supposedly quite simple in design.

I was staring at the Rodimus renders earlier today wondering how on earth the arms were supposed to connect in evolved mode. And now I get my answer! ... parts-forming! Yay...

Still, Hot Rod himself looks incredible. That one render shown on the slideshow back at SDCC had me a bit ambivalent about him, but he looks downright perfect here with his smooth angles, the finish on his chest and helmet, that spot-on facesculpt... and, most importantly, the very visible and very cool-looking spoiler! I almost regret getting the Titans Return figure!

If they ever want to temmper their G1 fetish down a bit - I'd love to see a CW compatible Dinobot Team where the Limbs & Torso are based on the PCC Dinobots - not to mention I'd be happy to see them keep cranking these out for years - I'd also like CW style versions of all the Kreo combiners too.

Heck several of the other PCC Designs would make very interesting toys at the different scale too, the advantage is we'd get expansions to existing premises (Like Dinobots & Constructicons) and yet also get new Characters - also a 5 part Construction combiner has repaint/remould potential for Takara to make into a version of 6 Builder or The Autobot Build team too.

But If they made that cute little Armoured Car or half track into a brand new robot that would be delightful or what about the Monster truck as a Voyager.

People keep hoping they'd make at least some new toys for a change and not just nostalgia farm exclusively - but perhaps you can get a "new toy feeling" by nostaliga farming more obscure things - as was done with Overlord I guess.

Also I do still really want a Proper Thunderwing sometime - so I hope it's not off the table for Prima or Megatronus to be the basis for him in some form - heck the existing mould or a new oner - either is really going to suit him as if you do an IDW's version you can make him a Torso unit and function like a true Mega Pretender too (pretty much). Or they could go for a more G1 look and use the Overlord mould family as the base (Prima looks quite close already). I don't mind if it's an exclusive or a boxed set or if it even take 2 years to show up _ I just think he's super appropriate.

Kind alike I wouldn't mind a CW Sunstorm sometime down the road too.

i dont see any reason for regret. look how big Hot Rod looks next to Blackwing (or is that Dreadwind). Hot Rod looks a bit bigger than a deluxe to me, possibly voyager size. I really want to see him in a side by side with Voyager Starscream or Galvatron now

Honestly... that actually helps. Not for everyone of course, but for me being between deluxe and voyager just works for Hot Rod to me.

I think about the only things I prefer about TR Hot Rod now are the colour scheme and the fact he has a cockpit. Then again, I don't think I've seen this version's car mode alone yet...

We recently posted the artwork featured on the cards and box art for the Power of the Primes Dinobots and it was missing Slash, the fifth Dinobot. Well, we have it now. These were sent to us from various Twitter and Facebook posts with the original source not pinpointed down yet. But we would rather show these to you as soon as possible. You will also see the artwork for Orion Pax and Optimus Primal. It is unknown if that means the leader toy will come with two cards or not. Last, but certainly not least, is the most awesome shot of Cloudburst ever drawn in Transformers history. You have to see it!

yea, i wish the trailer still had its battle station mode, but even as it is, i might just display the Hot Rod part as Rodimus Prime while having TR/Legends Hot Rod as Hot Rod

I may need that PotP Optimus Prime.....I didn't expect that desire. Rodimus is still a mist-have.

I'll probably end up with just about everything in this line. :P

I just realised that with this Leader, we have an Optimus in the original G1 design in every size class but Voyager.

Legion - 2010
Legends - T30
Deluxe - Classics 2-pack
Leader - PotP


Can't wait until we get it in Titan class :lol:

Ok, let's look at King Starscream here:

Image

Observation: Dreadwind is an arm... and he uses Rippersnapper as a leg.
Hypothesis: He's a spare torso like regular CW Optimus Prime, Cyclonus, and non-box set Scattershot.

It's got a fairly heavy amount of stylisation and casts a very different silhouette to the original design; and in general carries itself with what feels like an edgier, angrier feel.

Not that that's a bad thing; quite the opposite - I love the Classics Voyager and will sing its praises to the ends of the Earth! I just find it funny that the original design is represented in every size class other than the one a lot of people would agree is the size class that's 'right' for Optimus :lol:

Very true - though since that design is based on and has very few differences to the original (the only real difference noticeable on the toy would be the shoulder pads), I still count it. Maybe I'm just weird 8-}

So then the combiner wars one should count even more than the legends one as it doesn't deviate from the original design it just has sightly different proportions.

Agreed. It looks so much better than the previous Rodimus. Seems to me the previous one's face sculpt just didn't look like him and he looked a little too skinny in the waist and chubby in the chest. IDW Roddy is kinda skinny but he isn't proportioned like that figure.

I kinda hope they do the same thing with Perceptor, I wanted him in the beginning but I realized how werid the face sculpt is and it doesn't really look like Percy. Doesn't even have his chin plate. IDK why but it is my personal pet-peeve when beards are not done correctly.

People keep hoping they'd make at least some new toys for a change and not just nostalgia farm exclusively - but perhaps you can get a "new toy feeling" by nostaliga farming more obscure things - as was done with Overlord I guess.

Also I do still really want a Proper Thunderwing sometime - so I hope it's not off the table for Prima or Megatronus to be the basis for him in some form - heck the existing mould or a new oner - either is really going to suit him as if you do an IDW's version you can make him a Torso unit and function like a true Mega Pretender too (pretty much). Or they could go for a more G1 look and use the Overlord mould family as the base (Prima looks quite close already). I don't mind if it's an exclusive or a boxed set or if it even take 2 years to show up _ I just think he's super appropriate.

Kind alike I wouldn't mind a CW Sunstorm sometime down the road too.



I am so with you on this idea, when slash was Unveiled as a new Dinobot, I immediately held hopes for a Generations Scorn.

I think about the only things I prefer about TR Hot Rod now are the colour scheme and the fact he has a cockpit. Then again, I don't think I've seen this version's car mode alone yet...


yea, i wish the trailer still had its battle station mode, but even as it is, i might just display the Hot Rod part as Rodimus Prime while having TR/Legends Hot Rod as Hot Rod

Currently, it looks like this is gonna be my exact plan too. It's amazing how one good picture can make me do a complete 180 from "not a chance mate" to "I need it NOW PLEASE". I just hope that he really is small-voyager-ish size in reality and it's not just a perspective trick; that slight size change to the smaller Hot Rod robot is gonna make the difference to me whether I need this guy to display as Rodimus Prime (not combined with the trailer 'cause that still looks bleh), or just kinda want him to be a really nice Hot Rod. If I was to imagine any faction leader being a little on the short side, it'd be Roddy anyway. :D

Also, Hybrid Style is basically Scout class-sized. ;)

Technically wouldn't the CW Voyager Optimus Prime count as the G1 body being used? It's not exact by any means, but I considered it mostly close-ish at least as far as 10 feet away. :P

Classics doesn't count? Too neo for you?

It's got a fairly heavy amount of stylisation and casts a very different silhouette to the original design; and in general carries itself with what feels like an edgier, angrier feel.

Not that that's a bad thing; quite the opposite - I love the Classics Voyager and will sing its praises to the ends of the Earth! I just find it funny that the original design is represented in every size class other than the one a lot of people would agree is the size class that's 'right' for Optimus :lol:

That Hot Rod makes up for how disappointed I was that he was in titans return. It looks fantastic and the fact he upgrades into Rodimus Prime is just brilliant. He's absolutely the gem of this line closely followed by orion to optimus. Can't get over how good the standard hot rod looks.

To be honest I'm not a fan of the g1 dinobots combining I just think it takes away from their intention and how they've been portrayed. I agree that the pcc dinobots grimstone would've been a way better choice as a Dinobot combiner as it adds new bots to the roster with a history of actually combining. They're all different dinosaurs too bar the core bot who is like a triceratops but it could easily be explained he's slugs brother which would open stories in IDW and other media. Not to mention Grimstone has some cool dinos like the spinosaurus and pachi. Could've swapped the spinosaurus out though for another herbivore. As popular as dinosaurs are I'm curious why hasbro haven't taken that opportunity or even pump out more dinos like scowl in transformers rid who's a decepticon Dino. Lots of dinosaurs and unlimited potential there really that's just wasted. Maybe the repaints and retool of the dinobots will be a new combiner(hopefully ).

Grimstone was a Styracosaurus, not a Triceratops.

That is why I said like a triceratops. ;)^

What about combiner wars?

A bit too beefy and bulky to really feel like a representation of the G1 design to me. Just my opinion tho :)

Isn't the T30 Legends an IDW design? (Still, your point stands :lol: )

Very true - though since that design is based on and has very few differences to the original (the only real difference noticeable on the toy would be the shoulder pads), I still count it. Maybe I'm just weird 8-}

So then the combiner wars one should count even more than the legends one as it doesn't deviate from the original design it just has sightly different proportions.


Plus, G1 Prime already has some bulk to him. Maybe not to the extent of CW Prime, but you get my point. Wish I had a CW Prime now that Forged To Fight made me appreciate him more.

I like the look of Rippersnapper. The transformaton doesn't seem overly complicated, but he looks good at least. Hun-gurr, I have my doubts. Those front legs don't look very solid, and the rear legs seem a bit... off. But I'll give it a chance because an Abominus remake is mighty welcome after that hatchet job in Transformers Prime Beast Hunters...

Hello all. Big fan. Fist time caller, long time listener.

Been lookin at the combiners... it's hard to find the actual combiner ports. Ripper looks like he has a one in his chest. Hungy's hind legs look reminiscent of a combiner torso dude. But Mister Dinobiner? I don't see anything like the other combiners on him.... :-?
