Thanks to 2005 Boards member Kotori Sonoda, we can report that Power Of The Primes Prime Masters Wave 3 was found in Phillipines.
This is the last wave of Prime Masters consisting of Megatronus (with Bomb-Burst armor), Quintus Prime (with Bludgeon armor) and Solus Prime (with Octopunch armor). The figures were spotted at ToysRUs in Robinson’s Manila for 399.75 Philippine Piso ($7.65 approximately) each one.
Happy hunting for all Phillipine fans! Keep reporting your sightings all over the world on the 2005 Boards!

Yes. I am a little worried about chug lines tbh.

If demand was strong enough. But story devices were in place for them to be done in different ways later. Which is why it's those 3 in particular that were left to do. Prima is the Matrix of Leadership to reference the Hilt of the sword(which is likely a hint for where that one is later). Nexus is reserved for a combiner reason(a reference to the early club exclusive), and Amalgamous can find more unique ways to conceal himself that's yet to be revealed. Each have their own symbol though and were included in the artwork that way to add to the whole "myth" aspect and secret of the primes type ancient legends. 13th Prime was suggested to be Optimus, but is also shrouded in mystery to make it someone new if desired depending on audience responses.
They will likely get them out in a different way later though. But the above is also why Blastoff comes with a Megatronus variant instead of Nexus or Amalgamous. The final 3 are reserved for something else. But honestly no clue what. It was a "leave them wanting more and then come back with something even more awesome to appease that demand" concept. What that'll end up being though, I have no idea. Or if they'll cave and do it as some final 3 pack through an outlet somewhere is also possible. All I know for certain is that those 3 were left off originally for those reasons and planned to be left off for a little bit to let hype build about "where are they".
I don't think anyone expected the name calling or them being called lazy or whatever else for trying to be mysterious about it to let the toys build their own fiction. But sometimes Transformers fans are a bit, um, unpredictable like that.

At general retail? Yes. All the non exclusive POTP has been officially revealed.
Onyx Prime is packed with Predaking

That leaves three Primes we have cards for, Prima, Nexus & Amalgamous and nobody knows what's happening to these.
As I said in the Wreck-Gar thread

So does this wave have repacks of either of the wave 2 Prime Masters? Knowing the way American Walmarts/Target tend to stock they probably will get tons of wave 3 stuff in spite of short-stocking wave 2.

You're not alone.
One day I'll finish off the dinobots, here in Vegas it's the same crap.
I mean could it really be scalpers or just a big shortage of wave 2 production/shipping. Might just order the case from bbts even though it is marked up a bit.

Yeah. Sorry for the botched quote.

So is this the last wave of Primemasters???
Hasbro are coping out and doing the last 4 primes as just Primemasters packed in with other sets(which sets)? Or is there another wave with 2 new suits?
What's the deal? Nevermore, anybody…

i dunno what happened when you quoted, but the imgur image makes me happy! joint effort ftw!!!!
i gave up at this point. especially since i'm sort of landlocked to a single walmart (muh workplace) and they haven't had many TFs come in lately to begin with.
Spyne98
I hear ya! Watch them turn up at a discount store like 5 Below or something and I'll miss them there too.
BATTLEMASTER
Same here. It makes me wonder if I'll see any Wave 2 stuff at all. I'm not willing to pay the higher than MSRP prices on the internet.
Spyne98
Geeze, I'm still looking wave 2 in New York
DecepticusPrime
Onyx-regular release, amalgamous, nexus, prima.
That's 4.
Wheeljack_Prime
I don't think anyone was expecting The Arisen to be made as one.
Alpha Minor 128
yo, i heard you like bludgeon! so i gave bludgeon a bludgeon that turns into a bludgeon so he can bludgeon while he\'s bludgeon as well!

4 short. If making the prime masters, they all should come with decoy armor. Plus they still show onyx as special edition on predakings box.
ZapRowsdower
Meh.
The only thing exciting about this sighting is the prospect of hopping a plane to the Philippines! Cause yeah… this will take a long while to arrive on US shores.

*yes, i'm quoting myself; the reptition helps me cope with waves-behind distrution
Neko-bot77
Yup. Way to go, promising 12 prime masters then ending 3 short
