Transformers Power of the Primes wave 1 is trickling out to retail across the country, and are up for pre-order at our sponsors. To celebrate this, we are taking a quick look at several figures from the first round – deluxe class Swoop, legends class Slash, and Prime Master (class) Vector Prime. Swoop is a modern version of his G1 counterpart, sporting a flying dino mode, clear gold plastic, energon sword and blue chest. He also combines with his future Dinobot brothers to form the first Dinobot combiner – Volcanicus. Slash is an all new female Dinobot that joins her larger teammates as a raptor in classic Dinobot colors. Vector Prime is a Pretender Shell homage with the shell mimicking Metalhawk and the inner Prime Master being Titans Return Titanmaster scale. It also transforms into a weapon that larger figures can wield. All 3 are good representations of what the line will have to offer as it continues throughout 2018.
We’ve done up a quick, non-comprehensive gallery showing off what they can do. We will run these and the rest of the Power of the Primes Generations figures through their paces later on as time permits. You can check our early previews after the break though!
