Mastermind Creations uploaded several new images of their Seraphicus Prominon prototype figure to their Facebook page earlier today. The new set of images shows of Seraphicus Prominon (designed to homage Nova Prime) in both alternate mode and robot mode. TFW2005 member unicron nemesis also has provided a shot of Seraphicus Prominon with wings fully extended; needless to say this robot commands attention!
Since this is a testshot, expect to see plenty more images as we get further along in the process, so keep your eyes locked on the thread linked below.
Staff Edit – Preorders are starting to open up! There will be two options: one order for JUST the main robot figure, another order for the main robot figure + the “Power Cradle” / trailer. Estimated release of April 2016.

I personally love Seraphicus! Only things I actually dislike about him is that he cantc stand in the rack while putting the armor on him, and he takes up so much space if you have the wings out haha

You can resell it, but will it be that easy? This thing goes on sale all the time and it still never goes out of stock. It's one of my biggest buyer's remorse figures and my biggest from MMC. Even at 150 dollars I'd say pass on this thing. I got him for 110 and I'd still pass if I could go back and do it again. But I'd pay 185 dollars all over again for MMC's Overlord, so you might want to see if he scratches the itch you thought Serpahicus might.

He's a good figure, just not great. I doubt you'll find a better looking Nova in this scale, but the beauty comes at the cost of articulation.
If you like his aesthetic and can get him under 150 I think you'll be happy with it. If not sell it you can always resell it.

If you mean the figure.. Maz will sell you on it. He did me a while back:

Always thought I wanted this…

While I think this figure is a solid figure…..It's largely remained hidden in a dark corner and rarely brought to the front in my revolving door of deskbots. The main reason is that I think the face mask… Or lack there of for the helmet… Just turns me off.
I could be alone here… But I think a new helmet with a face plate or even visor would make him complete and so much more appreciated by me.
Does anyone know if anyone has already or plans to make an add on/replacement helmet?
Hexatron
I'm not about to start disassembling my expensive figure haha so your guess on removing pins is as good as mine. You'd still have the back half of the chest piece wrapping half way around the figure and hanging off looking like crap.
gibdozer
Yeah he's my least favorite MMC figure too. Not that he's bad, he looks gorgious and imposing his articulation is so limited though! Still he looks great in the positions he can hit and I only payed 120 shipped so no real complaints at that price.

You mean the center chest piece? That looks like it can pop off, as with the two side pieces that swivel and peg around the waist. The whole chest is held in by a pins on each side at the top of the shoulders, which it swivels up and down on. Whats the best way to back out those pins? It seems possible…
Hexatron
No its all one piece of armour. You might be able to have the front half of the chest piece off but it would look like a figure missing pieces lol.
VSmackk
Does anyone know if the front chest armor piece can be removed or separated from the wings/backpack? If so, how?

I have him and I really like him. He isn't my favorite MMC release but he is a lot of fun and looks great. I'm a big MMC fan and this is actually my least favorite of the MMC figures I own, but it is still a good figure. If you like Nova Prime, I would recommend this guy. I'm not as handy or mechanical as I'd like, so the SND Nova Prime isn't for me because I think it involves more modification than I am comfortable doing. The Maketoys Nova Prime is too small. I just wish he came with a better blaster than the one he comes with, but that is such a minor detail.
I attached a pic which shows how he scales in armor with CW Optimus.
Rakzo
Yeah, I was talking about that one. Shame is a PSX exclusive since they're out of stock now. I wish I could get it per separate.
VSmackk
Oh wow, I missed that pic scrolling through the pages. So there’s at least 3 versions of that sword??? I want that orange blade version now. Are there any vendors that would be able to get that? Or maybe direct from MMC?

Pretty sure he's referring to the blue and orange broadswords shown leaning on the armor rack here:

One of them was a PSX pre-order exclusive. I think it was the orange one.
VSmackk
Oh I see. I thought he was talking about the matrix part of it being orange, not the blade. The pics with the other sword, the blade looked red to me. I didn't realize that was the one he was talking about…The red blade version comes with black chrome Demonicus Prominon set.
edgecrusher
iirc, the orange one was a PSX pre-order exclusive. The blue one is the standard version of it.
Hexatron
The matrix sword for mine is blue, the matrix is painted a gold/orange but the blade is blue.
VSmackk
IIRC, the core robot comes with the dual swords, and the cradle comes with the orange matrix sword.
Hexatron
Overall bulk id say he is Ultra sized. He is a bit short for an ultra but thicc
