Power of the Primes | Quintus Prime with Bludgeon

05.23.2019 – Power of the Primes has an interesting play feature that connects the brand’s previous toyline and its present interest for the expansion of the modern reinterpretation for the Generations overall range of figures and assortment.

The Titans Return might be the modern Headmasters for this toyline.

The Prime Masters could probably a combination of concepts that collaborative with an “engine” concept of the Power Masters and Pretenders themes to complete the Prime Wars Trilogy with the idea of how they address the thirteen Primes story.

Power of the Primes | Micronus with Cloudburst

07.23.2018 – Power of the Primes toyline just like its animated series will cease to end, but that doesn’t mean the toys will be immediately discontinued as some markets they’ve started to be sold on clearance as news on the next Generations range of assortment will be the next hot topic for 2019.

But with all that fans still not getting enough about Power of the Primes, the tail end of this toyline still bring nostalgia to long-time fans taking back to the late 1980s with inspiration to the Titan Masters for the series taking the form having their individual Pretender shells or Decoy Armor and one of them is Micronus!

Titans Return | Chasm with Quake

07.18.2018 – The Titans Return tail end releases where mostly retool and repainted characters reusing pre-existing molds that were the basis from the first wave releases. Interesting enough some of these characters is interesting as the toys themselves that kept this toyline going for most that collected hem all.

Decepticon Quake is one of those characters that stood out from the second to the last wave of Deluxe Class assortments for Titans Return. Not because Hasbro has recently announced that Power of the Primes that completes the Prime Wars Trilogy this figure started being included on the clearance isle in Australia.

Titans Return | Apeface

07.14.2018 – There are a few interesting Transformers characters from the vintage toyline that was overlooked that had small screen time in the cartoon. Rarely, most are into the characters that had vehicle alternate forms. But when Titans Return was released it was more of nostalgic throwback to what was the best with Headmasters.

Few would remember Decepticons that stand out from its subline and Apeface is one of those interesting toys that came out from the Headmasters that was mostly didn’t get that kind of fandom attention. But this Decepticon gets a second chance as part of the second wave release of the Titan Masters.

TF Sightings | PotP: Rodimus Unicronus

06.17.2018 – Sometimes an unfamiliar character or a different take on the former with a new look might grab your attention.

For some, it might be a redundant concept applied to a character that never was a ‘bad guy’ or a villain. But it sure is a surprising twist of a spoiler if you have been catching up to “Power of the Primes.”

Power of the Primes just may have been quite fresh on Go90 and some platforms that you can view outside of North America. But the revelation that there’s going to take on the Rodimus character seems to start appearing in local toy stores in Australia.

Titans Return | Sergeant Kup & Flintlock

05.20.2018 – Kup is a War Hero who is an old microchip of the block. If you’re turbo-revvin’ punk he doesn’t want anything with that. The veteran war hero likes telling tall tale stories, and Grimlock’s favourite Petro-rabbits are some of the interesting things about Kup as the character. Now, as a toy that had very few versions is worth the second look.

Introduced as part of the fourth wave of Deluxe Class assortment, Sergeant Kup comes with Flintlock (formerly Recoil, Trademark issues?), which transforms into his head, a Titan Master that can “drive” Kup in vehicle mode or man the two guns that form the rear turret of the Cybertronian vehicle mode, the latest rendition of a retro picKUP truck.

Titans Return | Wheelie

01.12.2017 – Wheelie is one of the characters introduced in “Transformers: The Movie” from 1986, which was sort of one of the minor low points of that memorable film after giving kids of this generation the Death of Optimus Prime.

This was also the time they introduced a slew of new characters in turn killing off the ones that fans have grown up to like which was also a travesty. Fast forward to the present Hasbro re-introduce some of those 1986 characters in Titans Return!
