A lot of Transformers fans had been speculating that the Power of the Primes Optimus Primal might have been getting a red and blue Optimus Prime deco as Primal Prime. Thanks to this post on Baidu, we can confirm that Hasbro has taken that idea and taken a sharp steer in a different direction.
The “Throne of the Primes” figure is a season 1 Optimus Primal deco applied to the Power of the Primes Optimal Optimus, a cool black deco for the character that is unprecedented for this particular iteration of Optimus Primal.
To make this package even cooler, he’s packaged seated on a throne with some exclusive Prime Masters packaged in a sort of Mayan calendar design, with the Maximal symbol also visible right behind the head. He’s also got extra accessories, including a crown and a large, squared staff. If you look closely below where Primal’s fist grasps the staff, you can see this set comes with an exclusive Prime Master, which seems to be an exclusive redeco of the Onyx Prime that comes with Predaking.
We’ve not yet got confirmation how this figure is coming to us, but it’s been observed that the set is in English-only packaging, which implies it is an exclusive release, and given the timing, we can speculate this one might be another upcoming SDCC exclusive release.
Is this something you’re excited for? Share your thoughts in our discussion thread linked below.

Any pictorial or video instructions on how to do this? Ideally, I suppose you'd want to be able to separate out the wheel, but still be able to fit it back onto the throne as well.

Mine arrived Monday as well. It was very well packed as always. I'm glad I ordered through Amazon.jp even though it meant a later arrival.

Amazing how fast AJP shipping is, as I completely forgot I ordered him.
Soooo glad I opted for him instead of classic BW colors. Really makes the PotP theme work here. Now to get the upgrade kit.

Got mine today as well.

Remove the base then cut each piece of tape or remove it really carefully and unfold the entire throne to easily remove the tape and plastic you don't want.

Got my set yesterday and I gotta say I love it very much!! Hating that the stickers rub worst that on the Rodimus mold but oh well.
I was planning on leaving plastic bubbles that the throne has so that Op Op fits better but I noticed on is painted black for some reason and it covers a part of the design. Hasbro WTF!?!? Anyway, any advice on getting those pieces of. It seems one has to completely disssemble the throne to remove them

Someone should make a upgrade kit of armor for this figure so he can carry about 8 Prime masters in them while the four are on his staff and the 13th is in his matrix so he can wield all the power of the primes.

Throne of the primes page on HTS in now gone.
Don't know if it'll be back again.

This is without a doubt the worst Generations figure I've ever owned, and im pretty forgiving.

I already don't like the fact that the stickers on the side of optimus primal's cockpit are already starting to peel. How can we protect these things?

No pics yet.
My first purchase of this mold and will use him for my CHUG Primal. Optimal Optimus will probably be filled by the PE Effect version.
I have the mismatched shoulders but I'll fix that when I get home.
A fun figure for what it is.
I do feel sorry for the Prime Master collectors that this is the only way to get the remaining 4. Hopefully you guys can complete your collection without too much issues.

Super happy with the figure. Glad this is the version of the mold I own. Can't stop fiddling with him!
