We also get a good look at the throne, including the details that even have the other 8 members of the Prime vote on the throne. We also get a video demonstration of the scepter and the ring of Prime Masters. And to top everything else off, we get a good look at the final 4 Prime Masters, completing the 13. You can go to Blacklai's page or click any of the images below to view all the images as well as all of Blacklai's thoughts.

And in case you needed some video to go with your review, Kevin Liu on YouTube has a video up reviewing the set, though it is not in English.

He's not bad. I like the robot mode, even though I appear to be in the minority on that opinion, and the jet mode is kinda rubbish, but the combined mode is nice.

I like him as my Starscream in my display, but I am glad they decided not to do all the seekers using this mold

You won't get banned for being annoyed or angry. Only if you break the rules enough times. What was the reason for Amazon doing that?

Question: do you guys think that the new style hands for the PoTP deluxe limbs would look better with only one thumb? Yeah, it would limit the figure to being a specific limb, but if it was screen or comic accurate, I think it would look better. Is it easy to pop off the extra thumb?

Another question: now that some time has passed, what is the consensus on PoTP Starscream? Is he a good representative of IDW Starscream?

They claimed I refused to accept the delivery on something that hasn't shipped at all what's so ever. I CANT REFUSE SOMERHING YOU NEVER FUCKING SENT, AND WHY WOULD I REFUSE SOMETHING I FUCKING PAID FOR?

Yeah, it's kinda my fault, but if would be nice if amazon prevented us when we double preorder a thing. I did the mistake TWICE. Once it was to late for return/refund and I'm now stuck with a sealed thing paid a fortune that is now worth nothing. The second time, I was quick to react and I could get a refund. But still....

Is it possible they went to the wrong place and spoke to someone else who refused it? That's the only thing I can think of. It's a seriously fucked up and really flawed system if that happens.

I'll try not to. Just thought he was mocking me

Oh and update

Wonderful /s
I got an update that they know i didnt cancel it, it was a computer error caused by them sending it earlier than they meant to however they cannot fix it or resend the figure because any thing returned is put into a bin to be resold to sites like tophatter, and it's one per customer and i already bought it technically
In other words thanks to them fucking up i may be permanently out of buying the figure

anybody else get the urge that if knew who is to blame for something like to happen to just wanna find them, and throttle their neck? But dusting is always relaxing and more productive i suppose,

I think it says you ordered it whether you paid for it or not. Pretty sure it told me I ordered a book that was on backorder for weeks. But yea, maybe it's just a US thing?

Gotta be honest. Even if I did get this Primal, that cardboard throne probably will go in the trash.

Well, I was able to take my mind of not being able to get Nemesis Prime without an Amazon Prime membership by finding the last three Terrorcons at Walmart on the way home from work! As a bonus, I even found a MAGA-less Jazz too. The part that sucks, though, is that Sinnertwin came missing one of his alt mode feet. It's the part that swings around from the wrists on his robot mode arms to complete his front dragon legs. The left arm has it, but the right one doesn't. It wasn't in the package or on the floor, in the couch cushions...it just was never there. So, now I'm going to have to hunt down another Sinnertwin and replace the faulty one.

On the bright side, I was still able to put Abominus together, and he looks FANTASTIC!

I rather like it. We don't get a lot of "set pieces" for Transformers. I've got the pop-up Autobot Ark from that SDCC G1/Age of Extinction Dinobot set from several years back. I have to find some room to display that one of these days. By the way, is anyone else planning on putting Optimal Optimus elsewhere and sitting Power of the Primes Optimus Prime on that throne instead?

While we don't normally report on minor differences between auxiliary items like collectable cards, and while it has been some time since this detail was observed, it's still something interesting enough to warrant a mention. In the process of obtaining the various cards detailing Wave 3 Legends Cindersaur's Prime-based power-ups, collectors have noticed that different cards in the set address the character with different-gendered pronouns.

Cards of the "Alpha Trion Cindersaur" variety address Cindersaur as a 'she', while the Micronus cards instead use a male pronoun. It appears that all other cards in the set use either gender-neutral pronouns or simply omit them altogether, making for a 50/50 balance of genders in this Cindersaur figure's current fiction, insofar as it can be considered such.

Whether this "running change" of sorts is intentional on Hasbro's part or not will probably never be known for certain, but either way it makes for some interesting speculation - be it on the real-life end leading to this interesting situation, or in-fiction explanations including the welcoming of Cindersaur into genderfluid circles. Regardless, it's definitely one of the more unexpected occurrences to spawn from the dwindling 'bio-style' pack-in fiction in recent years!

Check below for an image of Alpha Trion Cindersaur's card from Seibertronian Hellscream9999 - there seems to be a lack of photos online showing the Micronus variant, so if you happen to have that version, why not post it up for others to see in the Energon Pub Forums? While you're there, feel free to discuss this situation with other board members - and for discussion ranging toward the more "political" side of things, consider sharing your thoughts in the Gender Politics thread instead! And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all future Transformers news, be it of the expected variety or otherwise.

Posted by Qwan on July 6th, 2018 @ 7:58am CDT

Here's something interesting I found while looking into this: it has been suggested that the reason for this variation is that whoever wrote the bios for the cards forgot the change the gender on a Slash card from female to male for Cindersaur, or something along those lines. But while Micronus Slash uses a female pronoun and Micronus Cindersaur uses male, supporting this theory, Alpha Trion Slash's card makes no mention of gender at all. Meaning that (even if the idea of altering cards between retools is how the process works, which I doubt anyway) the change to male pronoun for Micronus and the addition of female pronoun for Alpha Trion were both "intentional", insofar as neither one was accidentally left unaltered or anything like that.

Just an interesting supplemental fact, that didn't really have a spot to go in the article proper

I feel like it was carried over from Slash by mistake, given how Cindersaur is a repaint of that character.

Well, that's just the thing - see my extra note above. The Alpha Trion card that addresses Cindersaur as a 'she' refers to Slash neutrally, meaning that whether or not that's how the cards work, it was intentionally added for Cindersaur's. It seems like an obvious explanation but the more I look into it, the curiouser it becomes!

If the throne was plastic, I'd love it, but a flimsy cardboard thing that takes up a lot of space while looking like a cardboard cutout isn't going to make it.

Primal will be knocked off that throne and Galvatron will be put on it with the scepter in one and and a battle axe at his side. Might even use Titan master heads of Optimus, megatron, Rodimus and others in place of the prime master slots

I like the throne, it's a clever use of packaging that people won't throwout. It's just odd to me seeing the Optimal Optimus body in Primal's original scheme. I haven't bought OpOp yet, but I think the matrix on this one would be a better fit with OpOp, the blue one just looked odd and clashed. Though tbh I've been out of the POTP line especially the evolution.

Sorry, hi, I'm new. I just wanted to put forward that as someone who spends time with a lot of people who identify as queer, trans, genderfluid and all of that is that the thing which is consistently 'harmful' are the attitudes, behaviours, and violence which seek to deny and punish anyone who doesn't meet conform to a binary experience of gender.

Looks like Cindersaur has some "What gender?" issues in some online chat rooms. I sympathise, I get mistaken for the opposite one all the time. My overall behaviour doesn't help, despite the plumbing :lol:

Seriously tho, the female ones for Cindersaur do seem to come from the Slash template, as a couple of her cards do use "she" and "her", like the Prima and Micronus ones. Tracking and fixing them, well... we're dealing with 12 cards per character here.

It may seem odd, but let me give you some snippets from the Marvel Transformers Universe bios:

Windcharger
Windcharger is the fastest Autobot of them all - for short distances. He can go from 0 to 60 mph in automobile mode in almost no time whatsoever, and that makes him useful in certain situations requiring very fast, very decisive action.

Tailgate
In car mode, Tailgate can go as fast as 180 mph under his own power with a range of 600 miles. But a powerful ferrocobalt magnet under his hood allows him to be pulled by and within a few feet of any vehicle he chooses to follow, reducing his own fuel expenditure to nearly zero.

What do you guys think?

As others have pointed out. The writing of the Bio's on the PotP Trading Cards are some of the laziest one liners ever conceived, errors have been popping up, no need to assume anything more than that, given how little care was taken into making these.

However...since wave 3 has started to be available in some places, has anyone seen any fan mode integration of Cindersaur with Abominus? I've looked online for pics or videos but haven't seen anything yet.

@cindersaur with Abominus- did anyone come up with an intergration of slash and volcanius?

@Cindersaur bio, sounds like the designers are letting the individual customers decide. I'm all for letting people decide how they want to be addressed. It ultimately makes no difference to me on how I treat them. That's decided by what kind of people they are (e.g. do they kick puppies? Then they are monsters)

On Cindersaur: I think it’s just that one or more people (writers) got confused as to what gender Cindersaur was supposed to be, given that it’s a classically male character with a female mold. Maybe multiple people didn’t communicate before submitting, or one person simply forgot what they had written on a previous card. Given previous blunders with Slash’s card translations, it’s far from unlikely.

also, just because you don’t believe something/something isn’t real doesn’t mean other people don’t believe it. Sometimes there are simply things that are worth mentioning, regardless of their nature.

Yes. There are 2 I've seen (probably more). The most popular seems to make Slash a "Backpack" of sorts by plugging slashs dino hands into 2 holes on the back of Grimlock's shoulders as Volcanucus. The other folds Slash into an upside down rectangle and she kind of dangles as a necklace around Grimlocks Dino-head in Volcanicus mode. I personally like the backpack better as it is more stable. There may be others as well, those are just the 2 more prominent ones.

Because Hun-Gurr/Abominus is a different mold, Cindersaur wont work for either of those, I was just wondering if some creative fan had come up with something else.

I had no idea people were so compassionate about the cards. I throw them away with the packaging. They dont even leave the section the placed in.

Do we know when/where the new Blast Off is getting released?
