Maketoys have posted on their website a pair of teaser images of another upcoming project with the tagline “an angel is coming”. The images shown hint at an unlicensed Nova Prime / Nemesis Prime from the IDW comics. The project is already at a prototype stage, and the prototype images shown indicate that the figure will consist of a core robot plus armor. The armor is an extensively reworked version of the Maketoy Battle Tanker, the core figure is a complete new design to interact with the armor though.
The text accompanying the update indicates that it will be a limited run item available exclusively through Maketoy’s own store, with more details to follow. The update also indicates that this release will be coming later this month.

Im betting theres a glue that will work but i defer to those with mod experience

The red circle is a break point. Detached from the cog wheel on top. Tried to use a little super glue, wasn't strong enough, maybe need a better brand?
OptionZero
No problems with mine
You’ll have to post pix
just take it with your phone and attach it to a post

Hey folks, new here and TF collecting amateur. Got a Hyper Novae years and years ago, let it sit posed for awhile, took it down to mess with it today and one of the leg joints broke. Anyone have issues with the joints getting really rubbery and less strong over the years? Also, in what way could I fix/replace the leg joint? Maketoys seems almost dead and is weird about contacting nowadays.
Not sure if I can post pictures here yet, if I can I'll update the damage.

I just got this guy from a fellow board member for a phenomenal price, well below retail. He’s amazing, so glad to finally have him. I still hope we get more Nova Prime figures from companies in the future, but this is a great piece to have. I did remove the backpack kickstand and shoulder pauldrons for a sleeker appearance though, and put them in a bag; won’t be transforming him anyway. It took me a few hours to install the amber pieces. You guys weren’t lying, some of those were a pain in the ass, my thumbs are still sore from the push tool.
I kind of want to 3D print larger feet pieces for the stock feet to attach to. I saw a custom from years ago where someone used Gundam pieces to make larger feet and knee pads for him, and I wanted to replicate it with 3D printing. But idk when I’ll get around to it

Hey guys, if anybody is in need of this guy, I’m selling mine for $150, though I might be willing to go down if I can sell it asap.

I'm selling mine with his custom combiner team if you're interested. Open to negotiations:
For Sale: Combiner Wars Battle Core Prime w/ 4 Custom Painted Limb Bots
It was worth every penny. Just need to 3D print some new posing hands and an extension for the trailer kickstand for Hypernova mode and he'll be perfect.

I don't object to taking one appart – I'd just rather not do it to a brand new one I had to pay a huge premium for – I'd rather hope to find one cheap and come back to the idea later – perhaps I will buy the kill and store it until I can find a white Optimus at a less than eye watering price.
Especially as I'd want 2 of them (one to keep in normal white Optimus mode).

That's one big mama jamma

Always loved how the wings look like hands. It's a neat touch.
Count me in for a KO of this. I'm interested in the figure, but would love to see it upscaled.

I would have bought the add on kit only UK distribution on the white Optimus was so terrible I've never seen one cheap enough to warrant buying one to scrap it for parts.
lordcryotek
Yeah, same. This is one of the earlier third party figures I missed out on that I really wish I could've gotten, this or the black remold. I'd definitely be down for a reissue.
redrum2581
yeah that one, any reason for the pass
D0nut
With all the Maketoys stuff getting KO'd recently, I hope someone is working on Nova
edgecrusher
Thanks. The SND CW add-on kit one? Not planning to get that one.

Awesome collection are you gonna get the 4th one?
