Interesting.
I think that prime may be the classics prime that has the torso swivel- from that prime/megs 2 pack- i.e. the one that was released again in UNited and in clear as part of the sons of cybertron 2 pack with classics rodimus.
Id definitely be interested in this :D
That's what I was thinking also gdm.
Hopefully they have learned from their xovergen sets that good plastic is a necessity.
Interesting, if it's for Classics Prime then I may bite, don't see the point in upgrades for original G1 toys though, cause then they are no longer G1.
That looks like Powermaster Optimus Prime to me. Maybe it's an upgrade for the new MP mold? I dont see the point of remaking pm armor for the G1 figure that already has it.
Could be to render the original figure less brick-like. :pQuote:

This makes it even weirder. It's this thing just a trailer or is it also armor? If it is armor, how can it fit all molds if that is what they are implying with the pictures.
If it's a trailer for the G1 powermaster Op toy to make it fully poseable like what Hursticon said, then I'm actually interested (but not at the prices quoted for the previous Xovergen projects).
If it's yet another add-on trailer for the various Optimus Primes then forget it.
Like this????
More pics here

I want to like it, but I'm just not that impressed, Its very much Powermaster Prime, but something just isn't working for me in those cad images. Not sure. I guess I'll wait and see.
Personally, I think the Head sculpt could look a little bit more 'Mastery' and a little less 'Primey' if you know what I mean? :oQuote:

You need a bulkier looking head and that'll make this close to perfect for me... yeeeesssss :p
I like the overall design concept but yeah, the proportions are really blocky specially at the waist.Quote:

Yeah the previous release was an excellent concept I thought with a really mediocre execution. Again here I'm getting that vibe.Quote:

And yeah the head is also part of it, I don't think I like the companies sculptors style. With other companies pushing the bar and many adopting the IMO quite likable classics/Fansproject clone style, I've become more picky when it comes to sculpt.
i really hope this thing turns out well! the alt mode and robot mode pics look awesome, let the hope in hand it holds up, and if so i'm buying it!
Updated pics of Xovergen's Powermaster Prime (without a Powermaster) indicating that its almost ready for the market. Trailer mode is pretty impressive, however with its combined mode standing as tall as the original MP Prime, not sure where this powermaster without a Powermaster will fit in my collection. Comparison pics here.
Yeah I dunno...
It looks pretty good, sounds like everyone is waiting for reviews before deciding, but I just don't think that it's worth $135 + shipping. That and the matter of space.
Maybe if it gets clearanced.
I'm thinking the same.. I'd rather spend that amount on something else that fits in with the rest of the Classics shelf.Quote:

Shame, as I'd be all over a Powermaster something for my Classic Op. The FP G3 trailer was awesome imo and I was looking forward to more.
I feel the same way. I would love a Powermaster armor for prime but this is not it.
Wow i must be the only one but i kinda like it lol
I don't mind it, glad to see they fixed those horrible looking ankles, but I do have a couple of points of contention:Quote:

Like I imagine the vast majority of people are feeling, I'm going to wait for reviews of this set before making any final decisions; Xovergen haven't been too successful in the past and they'll need to of improved greatly since their last effort IMO. :o
Looks like this guy is retail ready. I like the look of it aside from the ankles and the scale is great, but the price tag - yeesh!

I don't like the lack of a Powermaster for Classics.
That's burglary! When I was in Hong Kong hey had it at numerous shops for ~$135AUD.Quote:

I'm sure they were going to do a remolded Classics prime with Hi-Q to go with this guy. He had ball jointed ankles even.
Yeah I remember that. Wonder why they pull it out. The Powermaster was a huge draw for me.Quote:

My guess would be because It's too big, the sculpt is very basic, so it's really just the 80's toy with articulation.Quote:

One of my big wants is a Powermaster armor kit but this one didn't look right to me. I wish some other company had a crack at it.
That is certainly... something. Something ugly and badly designed.
Hmmm... looking at it again...
I think it needs to be bulked up to amplify the fact that it's an armored version of Prime.
This interpretation is too lanky I guess.
Hope some other 3rd party has a go and adds a HiQ too
