We have a very interesting image to share with you. This picture reveals the complete line-up of all Power Of The Primes: Prime Masters.
The image shows 12 Primes Masters, including Prima, Nexus and Amalgamous. No word on the possible Prime Masters/Pretenders armors for them. As noticed by our very own Sol Fury, this image could be the back of a poster that comes with Predaking. It’s not evidence of the other Prime Masters having molds, just that they have CAD designs, which makes sense since they have emblems on the packaging and they must have been designed to fit into that Prime Master cube space.
You can check out the mirrored image after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

You mentioning Spider Bandito has instantly made you one of my favourite people.

So does Predaking have individual cards like standard PotP releases or is it just the poster?

I was curious when someone would post a better quality image of the primes poster considering people are already getting their hands on POTP Predaking.
Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, that was the one. My bad.

It matters to me, man…
I'd love to see more stylized approaches to characters in the CHUG line. Like for the Seekers in the WFC Trilogy (If we get them, but then again, why wouldn't we?), I'd like to see Hasbro do something similar to what MAAS Toys is doing for their 3rd Party Tetrajet Seekers. The jet mode is obviously a Tetrajet, but it's stretched out length-wise in a way that makes me think it's trying to take some inspiration from the WFC/FOC games' Seeker Jet designs. And even though Hasbro are going to use G1 cartoon cybertronian vehicle modes in the WFC trilogy, I know for a fact that not all characters in G1 were seen with their Cybertronian alternate modes (Only the Seekers, Wheeljack, Bumlebee, and Soundwave, albeit Soundwave turned into a lamppost, and that'd be a dumb alternate mode, and the Constructicons were seen in a flashback, but Hasbro or whoever lazily gave them their Earth modes IN A FLASHBACK!!! ), so hopefully everyone else will have more original alternate modes. Heck, I'd like it if Hasbro pulled from the WFC/FOC games for the other characters who's alt modes we never saw!

Personally, if we get Star Saber, I'd like to see a more IDW-based one, sort of like the upcoming Flame Toys version. Problem with most recent Leaders is you can just get the MP version instead. It's why I think Primal's one of the better thought-out ones, because he actually updates the articulation on the original and provides something new.
Since we already have an MP Star Saber, which is barely an MP with it's high doses of plastic and low surface detail (it's more like a leader and a half), I'd prefer a more stylised approach. Not what's above this post, but at least something different. And this extends to all Generations figures now. I don't want to see straight redos of G1 characters. Ideally, it'd be better to do the obscure ones (which is why I absolutely love Krok), but if we must do the same guys over and over, please give them newer designs.
But what do I know? Apparently my opinion doesn't matter because I grew up with the movieverse…

Sweet. I figured the heads would be replaced with newly tooled heads, so I just chose a version of the mold at random. Victorion's head, with a little modding to it, could make a GREAT Nexus Prime head. And of course the Star Saber would be a new mold, but the hilt would be designed like the Matrix frames for the POTP Leader Class figures, so a Prima and/or Nexus Prime Master included in the box set could slot in there. And heck, other Prime Masters could slot in there to give Nexus Prime new powers through the Star Saber!!!
This would be the version of the Star Saber I'd base the design on:
Dinobot Nuva
I really like mixing toolings from multiple lines to build a Generations Nexus Prime based on the TFCC figure!
My take-
CW Onslaught w POTP Inferno's bot head + CW Victorion's combiner head (since TFCC Heatwave and Nexus both had mouths, but keep that military alt-mode), I could settle for the Defensor headsculpt if Victorion comes out too feminine -> Heatwave
CW Brawl w/ CW Drillhorn's head (because Landquake had a full-on face, Brawl and Killbison don't) -> Landquake
POTP Darkwind (great choice, the helmeted look over his eyes matches Skyfall well) -> Skyfall
CW Blades (Topspin also had a full-on face, so use the Blades head-sculpt over Vortex) -> Topspin
CW Quickslinger (Breakaway had that visor on his eyes, so use the Quickslinger sculpt with the visor instead of Fireflight's) -> Breakway

Well said sir

That would be fine with me TR Metalhawk and Generations Skullgrin were great. An amalgam of the shell and robot mode is a great idea for the Decepticons.

As cool as that would be, a large portion of fans have a hard on for G1…and nothing else…
…it's a shame really. I'd love to see other series get represented, and have new characters that aren't movieverse ones take the spotlight.
Yes, I know that Windblade and Victorion count, but even though I like them their fiction outside of IDW has been handled…rather poorly…

Man , I really wished Hasbro would literally DESIGN a brand new COMBINER team ( Sub-group ) and get essentially new molds with unseen bits and parts…I`d love it to have a Sub-group name too….And have then share a common theme …Much like all Gestalts from the glory days of G1,G2 …Hell even BW Second had Sub-group names… I don`t much care for a combiner completely made up of overly used molds with minor changes and no real relationship …This may just be me, but I`d do heinous things to have this happen ….Come on Hasbro , let us <3 It can be another pole, but a little bit more extensive to achieve maximum potential ….Yes ? , No ? Maybe ? …I`m game period …..I even created a brand new Duocon , it`s a snake on top or bottom , with a Centipede on the other end acting as such part of the body ….. Ideas ? I all ways wanted a BW style gestalt but made up of 4 Mythological creatures…For some reason I just have to have a Pegasus , a Unicorn , a Griffon ( or Ursagryph ) and a Dragon of some kind …That would be so Rad .

I'd love to see this version of Nexus get expanded on…don't think they gave any description…the Junkion was likely the best guess as a motorcycle…otherwise no t sure…
rikaldomario
I wasn't talking about that version. I was refering to a version from the Aligned Continuity, especifically "Exiles" (according to TFWiki) where Nexus was formed from 2 Velocitronians, a Junkion, an Autobot and some guy that knew he was part of Nexus.
If I recall correctly they're Clocker, Pinion, Cannonspring, Mainspring and Chaindrive and they didn't have visual representations. I don't know if they have descriptions at least because I haven't read it. I was thinking about those names because the TFCC version's components are already in use for other bots.

I kinda don`t want to use the actual vehicles that the Club exclusives used …I`d rather like to put together the most unused , most retooled , new mold if possible kinda thing…I thing Afterburner with some tweeks here and there, new weapons, new head would be pretty epic as a Tri-bike ( 1 ) …,With brand new unused combiner fists , new combiner feet ,Maybe a brand new Voyager mold ( 2 ) l, I have no clue on what it could be , or need to be … I was looking into something called a ( TROJAN ARMORED ENGINEER VEHICLE ) …JUST CHECK IT OUT …WORDS CAN`T EXPRESS ., Or a miniature weapons platform , a sort of Portable battle station…I`m not sure what I`m trying to say …lol…forgive me…but seriously Retool the entire exoskeleton of NOSECONE ( 3 ) , leave the newer bits , remove drill and add missile`s , turrets , Communications antennae ect and reformat it into an APC ( Armored personnel carrier ) of some sorts, AND retool Moonracer/Firestar into a Satellite( 4 ) A COM-SAT to be exact ) …Trust me – it could be done …..retool Dragstrip or Jazz ( 5 ) into a sleek ( Sexy import ) star cruiser ( A massive overhaul , basically strip every thing down to the chassis and whip up some thing streamline , retool the( 6… Gestalt Weapon,Armor or Limb, any one bot can be a weapon,armor or limb …aside the torso bot , it obviously can`t be a hand held weapon for the Combined mode…. ect… ) Strafe/Blast off mold from TT , remove any trace of it ever flying and make it into a missile launcher( Prototype of sorts ) A High Energy Laser Mobile ( HELM )…. I would love to see this ….Sort of like DECONSTRUCTICONS …Bahahaha….

That is actually an awesome idea!!! I could see them doing a Nexus Prime box set and include a Star Saber sword in it as his weapon, AND include a Prima Prime Master in the set that slots into the hilt of the sword. One of the designs for the Star Saber has the Matrix as the hilt of the sword, so it's PERFECT!!!

You know, the Nexus Prime Master idea seems a little off key to me. Like, he is a Combiner. Did he merge and have his merged Spark reincarnated into a 5ft elf? Does this mean his components are out somewhere still protecting the Star Saber, they are dead, or some kind of zombies?
Which reminds me, going on the guarding the Star Saber idea, couldn't a theoretical Nexus box set not only come with a Prime Master for Nexus but also a Saber with a Prima PM? Probably not going to happen.
Don't really see the rest of the Prime Masters coming. Can't say I'm bothered by the fact.
All I know is that I want an Alpha Bravo recolor. No remolding and an Autobot. I miss that mold.
But, seriously, that Nexus Prime idea earlier sounds pretty cool. In that instance, I would rather they simplified the Funpub story for the purpose of the timeline, or even just have all the components already allied with one another… for simplicity's sake, not at all because I want it to line up with my dumb head canon that Alpha Bravo is part of Nexus Prime…

Seacons with Nexus Prime? I really want some Seacons.
