A Prima-donna, if you will.

decided to hold off on Prima. Gonna wait for one with better colors and/or a different head. You want to make the FFOD guy, that’s kinda cool.you want to make blockier Aligned Prima, that’s cool too. Slapping the former’s head on the latter is a crappy compromise and coloring it that dull gray only makes it less appealing.

As we have chipped away at every possible holy grail over the past 40 years, all the FFOD designs still remain on my want list. I'm so glad this series is taking some inspiration from that and if a more screen accurate "Prima" is our future, let's gooo.

I think this is possible. Donocropolis showed how they could easily remould Gamer Edition Optimus into that design.
And I think they could get one out of Prima. He'd need a new head and remoulded truck bits but the important shapes all seem to be there.

All this talk of Primus makes me wonder when we'll ever get a figure of Tornedron.

But on a more serious note, titan class Primus for part 2 or MeGalvatron.

Primus being Haslab is really the only option given how the Titan class was downsized. He's Unicron's size at minimum.

There's nothing saying next year's titan size is permanent. It's a single-item sizeclass, they can make it whatever they want each year.

That said, if they wanted a Primus even remotely close to the size of Haslab unicron, it'd probably be a $700+ Haslab and I doubt they're going to do that.

Tornedron wasn't a robot, though. He was an entity made of pure energy with no set physical form.

That didn't stop the DC people from getting a Parralax figure. Several versions, actually.

And Krimzeek for us a couple times at least, though in his case he did have a clearly defined appearance.

A consistent base design would help. But Tornedron kept changing his appearance to every random thing.

Also, like, making an action figure and making a transforming action figure are two different things.

Hasbro still has the "it has to transform" mindset for their mainline stuff, relegating the non-transforming merchandise to licensees for the most part.

That too, yeah. Kremzeek toys made by HasTak have always been accessories rather than main figures of their own.
