Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: Toy Fair 2025: Vortex, Onyx Prime, Alchemist Prime, Excellion, Sideways, oh my

I would really hope if they were gonna do Energon, that not everyone would be half assed retools.

Gee, thanks.

Of course I'd vastly prefer if some got the Sideways, Starscream, Hot Shot treatment. Just trying to manage my own expectations given what capsules have tended to be composed of (even Override was a surprise replacing a half-assed retool plan, iirc).

 

[Haywire]

If they made Tow Line as a surprise new mold and retooled him into Ironhide and Ratchet, that would be cool. Make the half-ass retools the G1 guys. (I would have to buy all 3 if I could)

My wild hope is that one of the Energon homages is a new Omnicon.

Combining wasn't the only gimmick in that line.

Combining in Energon was Autobot exclusive, none of the Decepticons did any combining outside of Tidalwave, but then he is a partsformer to start with and Energon in terms of story is one of the worst TF shows as it was clearly rushed with no actual story planned out for the whole season! I had completely forgot about the Omnicons until today, which shows how little impact they really had!

If I was to revisit the line for updating, I would kind of do Ironhide but make sure the robot mode head actual can hide in vehicle mode instead of how it was in the show, Optimus I would revisit but for the Drones, would have them be seperate figures, kind of similar to the Bluebolts in the Haslab Omega Prime, but also being able to combine with Optimus and also be the drones, while Megatron I would do as a leader class figure, not some puny scout/legends/core class, whatever they call the smallest size these days

And the two Maximus combiners. But if you're going by the show, the combined forms were the default, so it's more like they're splitting apart, I guess. Not like they did much with them anyway.

 

[Sabrblade]

Combining, Energon Stars, Hyper Modes, Energon Weapons, Brute Modes, the line was chock full of fun gimmicks.

 

[Agent X]

I LOVED the Energon stars and weapons! Especially in new (and annoyingly exclusive) colors!

I do have an Energon question I haven't found any solid answer for:

Did the Sam's Club Energon Prowl (Arm. Red Alert) and Starscream (Arm. Starscream) set come with a Tech Spec card(s) that Energon figures Deluxe and above come with? The K-Mart Prowl and Checkpoint came with one so there was precedent.

These are the collector oriented Generations line, dang it! There is to be no fun, here!

What do you think these are, toys?

None of my toys growing up had lights and sounds. I had more fun with articulation.
