Courtesy of Hasbro’s Mark “Markclonus” Maher, via his Instagram account, we can share for you our first official in-hand images of the new Transformers Age of the Primes 4-Pack.
We have a closer look at each figure of this Target exclusive pack in robot mode:
• Ultra Magnus (redeco of Legacy G1 Optimus Prime)
• Bumper (Studio Series 86 Bumblebee mold with a new head)
• Horri-Bull (partial retool of TR Skullsmasher)
• Nemesis Prime (redeco with a new masked face of Legacy Animated Optimus Prime)
Read Mark’s comments about this 4-pack after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!
If someone told me over a decade ago that I’d be selling in an Autobot vs. Decepticon 4pk to that had Magnus and Bumper versus Horri-bull and Nemesis Prime I’d say you’re a lunatic and laugh…BUT, HERE we are folks! I have all of you to thank for it! The fans passion and support for this brand is stronger then any fusion cannon!
To start off, Ultra Magnus was a redeco I knew I wanted to do right when I worked with Koki san on this wicked cool g1 Optimus. He has his two white blaster weapons, energon blue axe, and he also comes with a silver painted matrix with the crystal ball being a sweet translucent blue! I also tinted the windows a smokey color that really gives me those old toy vibes.
Bumper baby! Finally! So Evan Brooks snuck this alt head in to the penny racer Studio Series Bumblebee mold. I obviously was super amped on getting this character back out into people’s collections!
To keep up with the ever growing demand of headmasters and reutilizing the vibes that were laid down oh so many years ago, Horribull is finally back and ready to terror dog jump into your collection! My main man Tomo san helped make this character happen and Im amped to put him alongside the rest of the crew! He comes with his tail weapon double barreled blaster, singular blaster, and head master Kreb! The colors just scream villiany and hot pink energon!
Last but not least is animated Nemesis Prime, which I think everyone knows by now, if I can turn any Optimus black with a decepticon badge, I’m gonna do it! I had made the battle mask a while back and it just works perfectly here. Glad to get this deep cut in the mix and Im also ecstatic I was able to figure out the deco tones that just punch in person.
Apologies on the shorter then usual post, Im really treading water lately! Tommorow, catch me on the stream, cybertronian science will be dropped!!
