Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: Wreck N Doom Collection - Spinister VS Topspin

[Steevy Maximus]

Apparently, an unnamed retailer put out retail signage for Age of the Primes featuring Prima, Solus, and our first look at Alchemist (aka, Maccadam). Design incorporates influences from a number of prior sources, much as many of the revealed Primes have.

Ooo cool to see they're using the ancient robot symbol that IDW repurposed as representing Primes.

The Thirteeth Prime has arisen, Star Optimus is ready to utilize his ancient mystical zodiac orb to overpower your collection. His stark appearance clearly commands a new shelf in your collection and I can’t wait for you to build out the entire 13 primes to once and for all have the great gods of Transformers!

The almighty Shu san worked on this titan with me and boy oh gosh oh golly, he turned out divine! As always, working with Takara Tomy’s amazing team of designers is always a great honor and privilege that I do not take for granted.

I think I’m going to be making 2 posts on this behemoth. The anime style aesthetic that this guy embodies makes him so photogenic, of course mixed with some high class articulation and detailing to really make ya drool ! Oh did I forget to mention the 3 killer modes, the long awaited appearance of Micromaster Hotrod (compared him to the core Hotrod), the plethora of weaponry, the first energon bullet accessory(I photoshopped in some extra’s), the matrix hilt with a multitude of metallic tinted blast effects that will keep ya entertained until moms calls ya in for an energon replenishment❗️

Shoulda skipped the Taco Bell before the photo shoot.

Heh, the upward motion of the fire suggests it was specifically Hot Rod who had too many tacos.

 

[unluckiness]

Lol Hot Rod seated in the chest compartment is nearly invisible.

 

[Platypus Prime]

It must be gang molded, I think the plastic is identical.

"I *AM* THE MATRIX!"

Or worse...

"And now light...our darkest hour..."

"Uh...Prime...what the heck-"

"What, what's...oh...crud! Um..uh...PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE BOT BEHIND THE CURTAIN..."

"Hey... so why does no one call you a 'space Winnebago', huh?"

It's not Optimus' fault that Rodimus didn't share his foresight in hiring a decent PR firm!

 

[unluckiness]

The length of the trailer and proportionally small wheels make it look like a gigantic land vehicle. Rodimus looks exactly like what a dude going through a mid-life crisis might buy.

 

[lastmaximal]

It's true. Kingdom Rodimus came in at just the perfect time for me to fulfill that prophecy.

Also, am I missing a function those holes in Hot Rod's spoiler serve, or is it just more of the usual monkey's-paw that Hot Rod updates get?

The set comes with a black micro trailer, I'm assuming those are connection points so Hot Rod could "tow" the micro trailer.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

There's no basis for towing the micro trailer like that, unless...

Oh man. Maybe the micro trailer connects like that so Micromaster Hot Rod this can double as a Micromaster Rodimus Prime.

 

[unluckiness]

Or Hot Rod got demoted to Roller.

He might as well. This midlife crisis is taking a while.

Preach.

 

[Powered Convoy]

Yeah, that;'s how I see it. I just wonder if there any origin to Spinister's new darker colors?

A bit late, but it seems specific to the universe profile art. Except using two colors instead of one.


I love this two pack, finally giving us Diaclone Topspin. Spinister looks great in his new colors and now matches the other two small Target Masters. The Siege Target Masters were also hard to acquire, with one being in the Skywarp set and the other as the last wave of Battle Masters IIRC.

Spinister looks quite a bit different while also clearly still Spinister compared to his earlier version. Also no more battle damage.

I know I'm a lucky one who has the TFCC versions of the Target Masters for Spinister. I will have to say that Spinister's colors are growing on me. Maybe if I had the Diaclone TwinTwist, I might be more tempted.
