I think it's funny that The Thirteenth is the same size as Megatronus in the picture, despite being the largest. Meanwhile, Nexus Prime is actually the largest in the picture, even though he won't be.
@@Saturnlock i want them to have a torso mode as a third mode like the combiner wars combiners. it would be a way of letting them be a "combiner" even if they don't end up giving them a full combiner set. which i think i would prefer the latter, but giving nexus the ability to form the main body of a combiner while letting you add whatever limbs you want would be a way that they could still be the combination prime
I always love learning about lore from beyond the G1 universe, and Star Optimus is no different. For us non-Micromaster heathens, I might even use the POTP Galaxy Convoy as a substitute: that robot combined mode is close enough to great!
Looks absolutely phenomenal, a near perfect figure I think! Star Convoy is one of my favourite Optimus Prime figures, incredible truck mode and robot mode design. Love how the Micromasters are back and that Hot Rod is included. The Micro Trailer is a great homage too.
It looks really good. It’s interesting that the art of the thirteen primes he has a PMOP looking chest. Perhaps a (p)retool and mixed up the art assets? Could be a similar situation to when the Siege box art featured Hound with Cybertron Defense Hot Shot’s headsculpt instead of his own, foreshadowing the Selects version.
I'm wondering if Powermaster Optimus Prime aka Super Gin-Rye became a titan class wouldn't make the most sense to just include God Bomber with it so it'd be the full God Gin-Rye? That way they're utalizing the full titan class price point, and giving us 2 commander class figures at the same time. I know I'd get it if/when they do. I'm already invested for their masterpiece counterpart versions coming out next year.
@dzikrizulianhaq-m5t That's why I think if they made him a titan class he'd also come with God Bomber. That way we'd get the whole God Gin-rye team in one go, and still have a little extra design budget for more extras or engineering. That way putting him in the titan class slot keeps the commander class open for combiner main body characters, or other figures we got hints for but never got. Like beast wars Big Convoy, or Armada Jetfire.
The image with all the primes as the golden statues is something I hope we get a better resolution of as that’s probably a good rough hint as what the primes robot modes will look like
i have never been more excited for Optimus figures these past few years. Gonna grab Star Convoy and also Ginrai to add to ss86 Prime, TF1 Prime and Armada Prime. Good stuff, good stuff
Absolutely in love with it and im glad that Hasbro hasnt changed the connection bits for the platforms. Eventually my city will be a mix of different eras and i am looking forward to that.
For the Japanese market at the very least, yes. That whole era was to replace the lackluster G1 american ending of the tv show. Which Hasbro has admitted it was a much better way to both continue & end the original story. Although even if it isn't it gives the global market a chance to get these kind of figures that most of the market wasn't able to get before. Which I'm certainly greatful for myself.
The 13th prime box art also has the chest piece of Super Ginrai Optimus. To further add that optimus in any G1 iteration is the 13th Prime. Very cool. Thank you for clearing this up for me; I assumed it was an error.
he looks amazing and I excited to get him and im calling it now in the future we will see a g1 omega supreme more in scale to newer combiners at this price point that will have a more accurate base mode
The anglicized name really should've been *Battle*star Optimus Prime. Star Optimus Prime is frankly a little too silly, even if it's the most direct "translation" of Star Convoy's name.
That's it. It's over. This is gonna be the figure of the year for most people. No competition. Over before the year even started lol. 2025 is gonna be an awesome year for tf toys. Im so excited
For those who prefer the idea that optimist should just be a regular guy who became a leader you could’ve staffless that he just has the face of the 13th and basically say any toy that creates the classic Optimus face for a leader is retroactively the face of the 13th
I don't mean offense to the designers and developers of Star Convoy. It's apparent they put a lot of work and devotion into this figure. I've never heard of Star Convoy until now and I was kinda hoping for a space truck. Something hauling across the star-ways, getting energon rods to Ganymede after a pile up on the Europa Expressway.
Soooo...where's our Super/Ultra Megatron to counterbalance this? If there is a Super powerful Optimus, the shelves demand a Dark Nova/Vok empowered Megatron to even it out. I enjoyed the previous rework of the POTP Optimus and the rework of T.R. Galvatron into Super Megs, so if Star Convoy here is any indicator, any potential Super/Ultra Megatron might just be as good.
@@mjlee29 Big Convoy and bwII Galvatron are 100% what I was referring to, it would have been nice if they made those. We definitely need a new Super Megatron though to scale properly with the new Star Convoy.
I know some people are wondering about Japanese collaborations I wouldn’t be surprised if this toy is retooled into like a brave collaboration. I know several brave toys were originally Transformers toys and I think the base transformers like star convoy were some of them that were retooled.
June or July!? Goddamn, that's the same time as the Defastator "Commander" yorso bots two pack, and ritght around the rumored 86 Grimlock original dolors rerelease. Probably the new Silverbolt as well, given the move to a three-wave release sche4dule and verbal commiotment to making combiner teams all available in the same year. My wallet is alresy crying... The Superion shown beside him in the booth photo looks good, though the arm and leg skeleton parts seem to be exactly the samw as Menasor's. Not sure how that's going to sreap on to a Concorde, but I suppose we'll see. If they're at least compatible, it would be an interesting call back to teh interchangeability of Scramvle City limb bots, though getting asll the skeleton pieces with the leader kind of makes that moot as a play pattern if you're not an obsessive collector like us.
So, I'm not familiar with a lot of the comics, but I'm familiar with the title of the 13, because of Prime series and TFOne, and I'm not sure if in certain lore if Orian Pax was named after him or was like a reincarnated version of the Character, but let me know about this Titan Character, at first, I wasn't sure if this was the western version of Genrai from Supergod masterforce, even though he's called Optimus Prime in the English dub.
Well it’s obvious from what we know that the statues are not to accurate scale. I’m going to assume he’s 2026’s commander class. And I’m going to hope he is actually a proper combiner. I was hoping for the Fun Pub version as the CoP design does not inspire confidence in translating that design to a toy.
Okay then he's not that gigantic then now I'm interested. When they announced him as a Titan I thought he was going to be the size of metroplex or the ark and if that was the case then he was a no buy for me but now that I see that he's just a little bit taller than I combiner then that I do like for space reasons you see. Looking at him closer I see that they kinda took some inspiration from the third party figure Stellarus Prominon that came out a couple of years back. The figure that disappointed me in this revealed what's the combiner Superion because of the way he combines he is a rehash of Menasor and I don't think Superion should combine that way so this time around no combiner for me. What really has me interested this time is the 13 primes.
I've literally never been more disappointed with nexus prime. You had ONE job hasbro. you fucked up time and time again but this takes the cake. Did you forget why he's called nexus prime???
I want all 13 primes, but idk personally I feel like I’ll skip this one. I’m just not interested, it’s not a bad looking figure, I’m just not interested
This is everything(lore wise) that I don’t want Optimus prime to be. I don’t like hero-worship, especially on a fictional character. So is this robo-Muhammad or robo-Buddha? Smh

A Modern take of the original 1991 figure that was reissued in 2005.
What a ride, indeed.
I just realized something about the AOTP box art. They go in creation order by Primus from left to right.
I think it's funny that The Thirteenth is the same size as Megatronus in the picture, despite being the largest. Meanwhile, Nexus Prime is actually the largest in the picture, even though he won't be.
would be cool if they gave nexus a "torso mode" or something to be compatible with past combiner limbs so that they could become "bigger"
@@LucasTigy2 Like just cover him with combiner joints?
@@Saturnlock basically just make him like the combiner war voyagers, but better
@LucasTigy2 so you want Nexus Prime, the combiner, to just be a torso? Or for the full combiner to also be a torso?
@@Saturnlock i want them to have a torso mode as a third mode like the combiner wars combiners. it would be a way of letting them be a "combiner" even if they don't end up giving them a full combiner set. which i think i would prefer the latter, but giving nexus the ability to form the main body of a combiner while letting you add whatever limbs you want would be a way that they could still be the combination prime

Ya this channel is loaded out with lore
Overlord would be perfect for being redone as a titan. Just make him as tall as Star Convoy and have him include his base mode and both Giga and Mega.
I am so genuinely excited about this figure!!! He looks perfect!!!
Now that's just Prime!
Looks absolutely phenomenal, a near perfect figure I think! Star Convoy is one of my favourite Optimus Prime figures, incredible truck mode and robot mode design. Love how the Micromasters are back and that Hot Rod is included. The Micro Trailer is a great homage too.

Could be a similar situation to when the Siege box art featured Hound with Cybertron Defense Hot Shot’s headsculpt instead of his own, foreshadowing the Selects version.
I love how Star Convoy's vehicle mode looks similar to Rodimus Prime's.
This looks awesome, feels like a supreme class figure from the Unicron trilogy days, the mini Hotrod is a cool bonus too.
This is super cool, hope they’ll do Titan Class Powermaster Optimus Prime soon.
I'm wondering if Powermaster Optimus Prime aka Super Gin-Rye became a titan class wouldn't make the most sense to just include God Bomber with it so it'd be the full God Gin-Rye? That way they're utalizing the full titan class price point, and giving us 2 commander class figures at the same time.

@@ZedMazaus480 Here Here
I’m expecting next years Titan to be Liege Maximo.
i think power master optimus (god ginrai in japan), will be a commander class since in anime, god ginrai is same size with destron combiner liokaiser
@dzikrizulianhaq-m5t That's why I think if they made him a titan class he'd also come with God Bomber.

So does this mean Japanese G1 is official lore....seems like Hasbro leans on it alot.
For the Japanese market at the very least, yes. That whole era was to replace the lackluster G1 american ending of the tv show. Which Hasbro has admitted it was a much better way to both continue & end the original story.
Although even if it isn't it gives the global market a chance to get these kind of figures that most of the market wasn't able to get before. Which I'm certainly greatful for myself.
I've always considered it official lore - just a different universe. Same as I do the US cartoon and the Marvel comics. It's all G1 to me.
Thank you for the video and coverage.
The 13th prime box art also has the chest piece of Super Ginrai Optimus. To further add that optimus in any G1 iteration is the 13th Prime. Very cool. Thank you for clearing this up for me; I assumed it was an error.
Now we just need a super megatron in a commander class size to battle this guy. Love it!
he looks amazing and I excited to get him and im calling it now in the future we will see a g1 omega supreme more in scale to newer combiners at this price point that will have a more accurate base mode
So glad his smaller than I normal titan . Was not interested thinking he gunner be to big but now I’m all in !
The anglicized name really should've been *Battle*star Optimus Prime. Star Optimus Prime is frankly a little too silly, even if it's the most direct "translation" of Star Convoy's name.
NBCUniversal (the current owners of Battlestar Galactica) would object.
I’m going to be so mad if Big Convoy is just called Big Prime when he gets that updated toy.
Finally! A new playset/base for all of my Micromasters! Star Optimus Prime/Convoy is a definite buy for sure!
Yep, he's going into the collection for sure !!
That's it. It's over. This is gonna be the figure of the year for most people. No competition. Over before the year even started lol. 2025 is gonna be an awesome year for tf toys. Im so excited
Agreed. This is figure of the year for me already. Holy grail for me. Getting 2 of these at least haha
Super Megatron needs more Attention
Hopefully Star Optimus means we'll get a Super Megatron to go with him eventually. Maybe as a similar Pseudo-Titan in the same style
For those who prefer the idea that optimist should just be a regular guy who became a leader you could’ve staffless that he just has the face of the 13th and basically say any toy that creates the classic Optimus face for a leader is retroactively the face of the 13th

Either 2026 or 2027 or 2028
I hope they do a Super Megatron but you never know with Hasbro since they often skip characters that would make sense.
@Apocalyptic_Sentinel For instance BWII Galvatron, Big Convoy (teased, not confirmed) and the aforementioned Super/Ultra Megs?
@@mjlee29 Big Convoy and bwII Galvatron are 100% what I was referring to, it would have been nice if they made those. We definitely need a new Super Megatron though to scale properly with the new Star Convoy.
Need a commander class super megatron. Hopefully soon.
I like this, but it seems like they could have done this for Omega prime and Magnus instead of Haslab
I know some people are wondering about Japanese collaborations I wouldn’t be surprised if this toy is retooled into like a brave collaboration. I know several brave toys were originally Transformers toys and I think the base transformers like star convoy were some of them that were retooled.
Pumped! I love this. I wonder when it will be up for preorder? 🤔
Now we need titan class grandus and sky garry
Do you think we will get a Sky Garry and Grandus down the line? Makes me not want to miss getting Galaxy Shuttle. Love my Zone bots.
Zodiac! Transformers Zone lives!

THAT IS AWESOME VALUE FOR THE MONEY
I swear hasbro already had a star convoy figure that WASN'T a retool. Anyone else remember that??
If that's the case, how big will Nexus Prime be?
Well it’s obvious from what we know that the statues are not to accurate scale.
I’m going to assume he’s 2026’s commander class. And I’m going to hope he is actually a proper combiner. I was hoping for the Fun Pub version as the CoP design does not inspire confidence in translating that design to a toy.
So does that mean a giant Super Megatron?
Are they going to alternate, or will all future titana be smaller and come at $160??
It looks ok and I will get it, but IMO the wheels on the main truck mode look kind of cheese. I hope I am wrong though.
So it’s come full circle. Optimus Prime is resurrected as his past self Star Convoy the 13h Prime. Very cool.
Is the guy in the middle of the poster nexus prime? @4:12 .
The insignia above does match up with nexus prime.
@elliotle7593 ok, that makes sense. Looks like the aligned continuity design. Personally, I prefer the original Nexus Prime design.
@@Alcastar607Yeah. I was expecting the Fun Pub version too.
Is it worth getting this just for the Hot Rod? I may have to save up for this.
Is star convoy officially going to be the 13th prime ?
But should i buy 2 one for fun one for selling later?
orrr?
rid haslab omega prime is worth every penny I supported that and I AINT SELLING HIM
That's the same titan price as CW Devastator
Okay then he's not that gigantic then now I'm interested. When they announced him as a Titan I thought he was going to be the size of metroplex or the ark and if that was the case then he was a no buy for me but now that I see that he's just a little bit taller than I combiner then that I do like for space reasons you see.

What really has me interested this time is the 13 primes.
Hmm he is a titan I thought commander I wonder how big he really, he looks as big as jetfire I can see the titan if he comes with megatron.
Bigger than jetfire
Why would he be a commander? We already knew Silverbolt would be the commander class.
Absolutely amazing toy! This may actually be the best Optimus Prime figure
Star Prime is Jewish!? I just realized it!
m.ruclips.net/video/dw141zKz_m8/видео.html&pp=ygUOT3B0aW11cyBqZXdpc2g%3D
Take my money Hasbro 😂 sign me up
I've literally never been more disappointed with nexus prime. You had ONE job hasbro. you fucked up time and time again but this takes the cake. Did you forget why he's called nexus prime???
Relax, we don’t know if they actually did abandon the combiner aspect of him. It’s the CoP design which is a combiner.
You should get goebbels to voice him this time
So stoked for this.🤘
I want all 13 primes, but idk personally I feel like I’ll skip this one. I’m just not interested, it’s not a bad looking figure, I’m just not interested
Damnit! Probably NEVER gonna get my blue, chubby/fatboy, omega supreme guardian …. No fatboy, denied so coldly….
so, this titan is going to be 1 of the 13 primes that are be coming out? because if so the size wont match the other primes, he will be to big
i really hope sky garry and granduis get new toys in this toyline 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 next to big convoy and trainsbots from headmaster and other i think of
This is everything(lore wise) that I don’t want Optimus prime to be.
I don’t like hero-worship, especially on a fictional character.
So is this robo-Muhammad or robo-Buddha? Smh
Not a fan of this. A titan Star Convoy is just not what the range needs right now. There's plenty of other titan options out there.
