The new previews with the unwanted fucking dead Primes hijacking the line next year, makes me realize that I won't be buying anything but Galaxy Version Transformers next year.

Between the G2 crap, the god-awful Rocklords garbage, and bullshit Animated and RiD 2014 crap and the dead Primes, is Hasbro trying to tank the line?

I think Hasbro just doesn't know what the fuck they want to do anymore.

The rock themed bots were crap and the G2 stuff was horribly hit or miss (if you want to do G2 stuff, be fucking consistent and produce stuff fans want not random shitters).

I also find it insane that we are getting deep cuts like the Primes but the Decepticon Jr Headmasters remain locked behind Target only multi-packs while we still haven't gotten the Autobot Headmaster Jr trio yet remade.

And hell, I'm still waiting for that Perceptor/Ratbat box set that has yet to show it's head.

I wish more mainline TFs were as stylized and expressive as T-Spark Rodimus. Despite all the flashy metal and paint, the transformation is pretty simple:

>The Fallen/Megatronus
Feels frustratingly bland, even without comparing it to the Maketoys figure from ages ago. Looks more like a pretool for something else.

>Star Convoy
Okay-looking bot mode, the other modes feel like a regression to TR-era Leader figures, which is not a good thing.

>Armada Red Alert
Actually looks really nice, looking forward to it.

>Animated Wasp
Just Animated-BumbleBee with a new head, not promising.

>G2 Grimlock
Nice to have another chance to get Grimlock because the G1 figure was impossible to find, but not a fan of th G2 colors.

>Solus Prime: Not a bad looking figure, but really doesn't feel like it knows what aesthetic it wants to belong to. Definitely not G1, not Prime, not WFC, not Bayformers, just nondescript robot.

>Prima Prime: Same problems as Solus, but even more bland looking due to colors

>Silverbolt: Bot mode looks decent, altmode looks great, surprisingly good integration of the Superion-Frame piece into the alt mode, but the Superion Skeleton doesn't look great. Looks even worse with Slingshot on the left arm.

Slingshot: Looks awful in both modes. Unquestionably has better articulation than the CW release, but looks much worse.

Blue Booster/Sonic: Cool looking car mode, bland looking robot mode.

Tornado/Tails: Awesome Tornado mode, junky looking robot mode.

I'm curious where? Here at in the North East of the US the pegwarmers of United have been Animted Bee, Chormia, Hotshot and Strongarm. The rock people are rarely seen and even online they are somewhat uncommon, hell the green helicopter is marking up in some places. This is the first time I have seen the izers don't being deep clearance by their first Christmas like all the others were. Makes me a little annyoed because I was hopping to get them for $5 like I did the foslizers, weaponizers, etc or previous years.

I dunno what the original context for this shit is but Japan was an integral part of establishing the Transformers as a franchise. The original toys are from Japan and the original first couple seasons of the show were co-produced by Toei. I don't think it's necessarily disingenuous to say that it's an American franchise, but I don't think people should downplay the importance of Japan's involvement.

I enjoy Beast Wars because it's based on the G1 cartoon.
I should have clarified that the comics are the issue and whenever they add something to the lore it keeps getting worse and worse. First was Primus, then Empurata, then the gay couples but in Latin, then the fucking human baby coming out of the crust of Cybertron, the thirteen primes as Olympian gods, etc., etc.
Comics lore is so bad that I haven't bothered picking up the 2024 comic despite how good everyone says it is. I'd bet money they'll go back to the idiocy that's Primus at some point, and they'll definitely go to the thirteen primes because they are selling toys of them in 2025.

He's a retard because by its very nature its the other way around. Also Americans only created some of the lore, mainly only the stuff that was published in Burgerland. Beyond the foundational stuff Marvel had nothing to do with the anime and TV Magazine which was what made Transformers blow up in Japan.

Galactus is not a robot, he's a human-shaped cosmic horror that exists to cull the universe so there's no clutter. Unicron is just a gigantic metal compactor. It's fun that he has mystical powers, but I'm fine with that just being advanced technology and not actual supernatural powers.
IMO, Cybertronians as a species were too modular in G1 to sell a tie to more metaphysical elements but that's more fun. I like the smart but brutal Grimlock from the comics better than him being a retard with the Peaugh touch like in the cartoons, but I don't care for Grimlock being some not!Wrecker from a random squad that later becomes the Dinobots for, increasingly dumb, reasons.
I assume things like Empurata were added to explain why some robots would sometimes not look like Brave robots, but it's absolutely unnecessary when you have things like Sky Lynx running around and not having a super tragic story about him being turned into a monster shuttle bird and loving it and then licking other bots to turn them into monster shuttle birds.
It's more fun and less cumbersome to just say "Whirl was designed like that because he was made specifically to be part of a death squad and he's now a living effigy of everything evil within the Autobots" than saying he was tortured by some gay dystopia that didn't want him to make mechanical clocks just to not do anything with that information later.
In Transformers I always lean to what's less cumbersome, more logical, and easier to make scenarios for.

Well, yeah, but I don't buy it. Some people will buy anything as long as they like the story, but I don't. For example, I like pretty much all of Naruto but I am not happy with the aliens and other goofy shit they added by the end of the story. That at least has one unified narrative to follow, but that doesn't mean I'm happy that Shibai exists unlike many Transformers fans asking for a Primus whenever the chance appears.

>And there you go, my point is proven
What do you mean? My view there is still that in the cartoon, as long as you had the means you could create whatever you wanted and it would work no matter how grandiose.
To Cybertron and its inhabitants, Unicron was a bringer of doomsday. To Primacron, it was a project that got out of hand but let's see how far we can go with it anyway.

Short answer: financial issues.
Long answer: Hasbro was dealing with a machine gun like failures during the late 80s with several film bombs and restructures , as well as serious decline in new toy purchase across all brands lead to them taking a lot of cost cutting measures. After Rebirth they went right into a "Season 5" which was getting some Jim Henson puppeteers crew together to make some Power Master Optiums Prime props for some live action scenes with a kid actor setting up the episodes with intros and outros with for 23 other episodes from the previous 4 seasons as well as a chopped up version of the film into 5 parts. It was somewhat successful in ratings and sales surprisingly which lead them to do the same idea with GI-Joe having irl Stg. Slaughter setting up several episodes and a chop up of the Joe film. This also is what lead them into doing the Generation two cartoon of just chopping up old episodes with cgi overlaying them, this second attempt at redressing the old episodes didn't land well however and was what lead to the brand getting shelved and overhauled into Beast Wars which the higher ups at Hasbro were much more excited for and poured a bigger budget into.

Basically, they haven't had to deal with Joss Whedon and his consequences. There's also just a general dismissive attitude toward mecha in American and British nerd spheres so most TF media feels the need to try and "elevate itself" above the genre by being as un-mecha as possible. Meanwhile Japan doesn't have any of that baggage

I think if you just had one, REALLY GENUINELY good TF anime, it could get past that stigma and bring it back in the public consciousness again in that same way Gridman did. Problem's just that Takara doesn't seem super interested as of yet. Maybe some day...
Also I'll just add, being seen as kiddie isn't the absolute worst thing. As you said, Brave and Shinkalion are both seen in a similar way but they still rule and deliver quality mecha action. The whole goal is to sell toys, at the end of the day

Kinda, the piloted mecha are more common because Mazinger Z popularized it, and it became the norm for kids shows and adult shows. I don't think there's really a stigma to that aspect, the real stigma comes from Transformers being seen as a mostly otaku thing nowadays, as are many old shows mainly aimed at kids nowadays.

True, and I really like Animated for that. I hear Rescue Bots has a similar vibe, so I'm a little curious to check that one out too. I'm mostly talking about all the clips I've seen get passed around twitter showing how FIRE Earthspark is, and how most of them are just characters talking about stuff. Combined with how boring the first episode was just made me think "Man I'd rather watch GaoGaiGar or anything else instead of this".

NTA, but I actually prefer it - I grew up with the G2 Dinobots, so in my mind this is the 'correct' color scheme for them - the uniform gold, silver and red of the G1 colors always looked so bland to me in comparison. Had I known they were going to start releasing modernized G2 versions, I'd have skipped the original releases entirely.

Funny thing is, I'm sure you can do it. The catch is that you swap the whole arm/lower leg including the frame. Just look at how Superion's arms connect to the torso, it looks the same as Menasor's. I can totally see Superior having the same connections on the knees too.

This guy's a faggot who thinks Japan has never gotten TF right, spends way too long going on rants and tirades in his video reviews about the most inconsequential garbage but making it out to be the worst thing Hasbro's ever done each time because ragebait sells, and despite taking so much of your time as-is, even then he speeds up his voice in his videos to make himself sound even more obnoxious and breathless.

They likely did what they did with Menasor because fast cars are pretty flat and would make for rather thin shins/calves without something additional to bulk them up. Hasbro is also cheap, and the way they did Menasor means the leg cars only need attachment points on one side (the bottom), whereas >>11257706 needs attachment points on two sides of each jet, one for the knee and one for the foot. And then Superion is using the same molds/engineering for the frame because, again, Hasbro is cheap.

I'm conflicted on him because on one hand I typically agree with his reviews. Contrary to popular belief he does have positive things to say pretty frequently.

But in the other hand, he has a lot of absolutely fucktarded opinions. Like his vehement distaste for anything toy deco because "uhmn if I wanted the original toy, I'd get the original toy/reissue" even though the toys always had more detail and different colors that could be appealing.

Brave is definitely better than JG1, but I don't think JG1 is really any worse than the corresponding American shows of its era. Transformers is just a low quality franchise in general as far as the actual shows go. We're just here for the cool designs and toys, and the lore is good enough that you can headcanon out the stupid shit while you sit on the carpet and slap them together.

I watched Masterforce recently. It's decent, but I don't know how much of that was me coming off the heels of The Headmasters which was an absolute slog of shit.

It's like the rest of JG1 where a lot of it is cool in concept, but its not executed well at all. Same thought I had with Headmasters actually. If I just listed out the literal events of Headmasters to you it would sound like the coolest show ever, but then you actually watch it and you see that Blaster vs Soundwave is a hilarious still frame of them shooting lasers at each other and the epic Optimus and Rodimus Prime teamup lasts like 25 seconds before Optimus dies again.

Masterforce inherits a lot of those flaws in that there's a lot of stuff that sounds awesome but its executed really shittily. At least has a lot more likable characters, though that's negated a bit by the fact that it really becomes the Ginrai show for most of its run and you barely see anything from like half the cast.

Personally I would put Beast Machines in the good show tier because the setting, music and feeling of post-apocalyptic dredd in that show is amazing even if it doesn't respect the previous characterizations from Beast Wars. Also many of the modern general lore elements that we know came from it or were further developed in BM.

NTA, but the centaur mode would count as a second robot mode - really, it's only his lower torso that would change. Considering it's not much of a transformation (and the centaur form is the one he used as his primary robot mode anyway), it would imply he probably has an actual, third form that would serve as an alt mode.

The whole idea of a mid-change robot mode that improves his performance in battle while his biped mode is for formal meetings, I figured Onyx Prime could be a good base for a remake of Cybertron Scourge. Sometimes people advertise his Cyber Key gimmick as an additional form, but it's still just a gimmick. Otherwise, it would be an inverse of Onyx, technically giving him two alt modes through his Cyber Key by adding two dragon heads usually hidden behind his back.

But regardless he's Japanese Micromaster size, which is actually not that small. They're like minibot sized in Japan. So when Rodimus shrunk himself down he just became a manlet instead of Antman-ing himself or whatever.

Amalgamus and Nexus. I don't remember the covenant of primus ever stating that each one had an alt.

Not trying to single you out here, but sometimes I wonder about all the people acting like buying these toys is going to break the bank somehow. Buying all 4 Primes in wave 1 including the Titan at MRSP would cost like $300 total. Don't get me wrong, it's overpriced for some hunks of plastic but I have to wonder if any of you guys have ever made any big purchases of...anything, really.

I mean yeah if you're some autistic collector that needs to buy every fucking toy in the line (let alone whatever other toys you might be into) then you'll be spending a pretty ridiculous amount, but that sounds like more like an addiction you need to get help for. Plus the people who have enough space for all that shit are probably rich enough to not care about the cost of the toys themselves anyway.

I still predict Prima will shelfwarm enough to go on clearance/Ross shelves in at least a few places. The guy is $35 for a grey block who turns into another grey block. Solus is unique enough of a design that I think she'll do decently well, and Megatronus is very eye catching with both his design and the flames. Optimus is Optimus.

More like smaller Deluxe size I guess? Japanese Micromasters (at least in the cartoons) are roughly the size of Brawn or Gears, who both got Deluxes recently. But they could technically fit into Core too I guess. Pic sorta related, its the Micromasters from Transformers Victory. You can see they still tower over the human kids.

Of course, this is still G1 we're talking about. Scale shouldn't be taken that seriously.

If you're curious about Rescue Bots, I recommend the first season at least; it's the one that's got the biggest focus on the emergency rescue work, and I really loved how seriously it always took the situations, despite being ultimately a show for toddlers. Seasons 2-4 aren't bad at all, but they do focus more on Sunbow-style, mad science cartoon goofiness. Characters also tend to learn the same morals multiple times, but that's expected when this's still the longest single TF cartoon yet. Characterizations and interactions always stay strong imo, even if it might not have the dramatically impactful arcs as something like Animated's characters had.
Definitely a great show for little kids, and entertaining for adults if you're willing to put up with plenty of cheesiness. I don't regret watching it, for whatever that's worth!

It may be difficult for the Dagwon stuff unless they will go through with it wholesale, up to and including the DagTectors (because we got Ryukendo for the line).

They don't need new lore, the 13 sans Amalgamous having no alt modes was never a hard canon thing, it was implied in the Covenant by way of Amalgamous giving his cog to the well, but it contradicts other pieces of media.
Nexus' limbs were said to have alt modes that he could change at will, Onyx was said to have the first beast mode and all the other primes that lived to the present day (Alpha Trion, Vector, Maccadam, the Fallen) explicitly or presumably have alt modes too.

Hey just follow the Japanese G1 continuity where they try the insanity of working it all into the same timeline. In that universe Primus created a Rainbow Colored Super Sentai Transformers team who each wielded a different colored Matrix one of which ended up in the hands of Primacron who built Unicron, who then lost it to the Quintessons who used it to create Cybertron. Something like that anyway, I can't keep it straight at all. I appreciate the attempt though.

I don't think the thirteen exist in Japanese G1 yet but it's only a matter of time before they come up with something, I'm sure.

And you’re just ignoring the steady decline in revenue after dotm? The sequel to tlk would have flopped even harder, that much is obvious. These films have just been on a steady decline since the third movie. Also, do you genuinely like TLK? The bay movies used to be my all time favorite till AOE and TLK, I don’t believe you have to pretend to like those movies in order to be a bay fan

I'm pretty sure he's trolling.
For real I thought the first film was actually a genuinely fun ride and holds up well. The second and third were dumb as hell but had the occasional good idea (mostly robot designs in the second and some cool plot concepts in the third). Age of Extinction I remember liking at the time but in hindsight, woof. TLK was borderline-unwatchable.
Bumblebee was great, probably one of my favourite TF media pieces. Didn't watch ROTB but it looked pretty shitty. One looks great but I haven't watched it (yet).
Side note, I've become completely smitten with Legacy Cybertron Starscream. I doubt they will because Hasbro seems to hate him but a Sunstorm from the mold would be godly.

They don't need new lore about transforming. We've seen before with characters like the Quintesson judge that Hasbro is fine to make alt modes for characters who didn't have one. If you don't like it, just don't transform them, since each of them have pretty solid robot modes which don't look much like they transform.

I'd add that none of them so far seem to be based solely on their CoP designs, so they don't need to adhere to that lore. Prima is CoP mixed with G1, Megatronus is Dreamwave, Solus is PotP, and Onyx seems to be a vague mix of a few (including the bipedalism from IDW). In fact looking at the rest of the golden statues, very few seem to have CoP designs (although Nexus does which is unexpected).

Yeah honestly the fact that it comes with so many doodads and something like Tidal Wave just looks like a fucking little bitchass with no Minicon and poor engineering tells me that Star Convoy was a pet project for someone. I would have never expected him to come with the tiny Hot Rod, let alone an articulated one.

As much as I love Cybertron Metroplex and Armada Tidal Wave, they seem lacking in comparison.

I'm not the person who made it a few years back, but the motif seemed to be smaller men, since Wheelie is essentially a shota and Ironhide and Obsidian have a girlfriend/wife, but Ironhide's wasn't actually listed. Presumably Ratchet was just because he's a recolor of Ironhide. The background image having two larger women with a small boy also supports it.

But Baldigus was identical in terms of mold to Bruticus as a toy, so you just liked the show actually applying a reason for it while the G1 cartoon stuck with the same formation all the time.

Superion clearly has space for bots on the front of his shins. Also the fact that the bots don't make up the entire lower leg doesn't negate them being scramble city, since you can still mix and match.

yeah outside of certain guys that make sense to release at that size(such as Recordicons) there's not really a point to doing that sort of super small scale thing unless you're willing to properly commit to it as a full subline and/or line gimmick such as the G1 Micro Masters, Armada Mini-Cons, or the DOTM & Prime era Cyberverse stuff where there's enough product being released that it can either standalone as it's own thing and/or be a noticeable aspect of the overall line rather than how Core Class(and some of the other small scale stuff in the last couple years) has felt like a vestigial limb more than anything

I'm hyped for Star Convoy, hes EXACTLY what I was hoping for and nothing like what I feared (a giant Powermaster Optimus who couldnt decide on what he was). Superion though I'm not sure about. I'll see how they do Bruticus. I do think Onslought's long ass truck mode may work well for a "detachable combiner parts",though I don't see why it'd be necessary. If I do grab Superion it'll be in his G2 colors. I mean why do people even want G1 Superion, dude didn't even have his own Rap song

What scale do you want your Powermaster Prime/Super Ginrai, though? I always think Commander Class is enough for that guy not just because Armada Prime, which kinda functions in a similar way complete with his own trailer base, is also a Commander. He could either be a Leader or Commander, but if he were a Commander Class, he might be locked to the Selects line.

This whole idea is and always was retarded. Sex/gender isn't a state of mind; it ultimately boils down to what gonads you have. Transformers do not reproduce sexually and do not possess the physical components to qualify as being male or female, and thus, they are all sexless and genderless machines. The ONLY exception to this are the characters from the Beast Wars/Beast Machines continuity, who DO canonically have those bits because they assumed the forms of organic beings that do possess physical sexual characteristics.

Rattrap's stories about waitresses he's gotten frisky with, along with all the crushes on the two female characters, make it clear to me that they do have female cybertrons. the altmodes are kind of irrelevant, as a ton of the males had female altmodes. and in airazor's case, quite possibly vice versa.

In the greater fiction it makes sense that over time Cybertronians would maybe learn gender from organic species, especially Autobots being allied with humans since that's by necessity a focal point of the franchise. So by extension it makes sense to me that by the time of Maximals/Predacons plenty of Transformers have adapted a lot of human customs themselves.

But if you were going to take it to its logical conclusion and try to write an expanded fiction, then Transformers should also have plenty of guys who travelled to other planets and learned from organic species that don't have our male/female split and of course people who don't care for the organic stuff at all (which was a thing in Animated).

If you just want to find random deals (and you enjoy the hunting part sometimes), you can go explore a local thrift shop once a month or something. Last time I went to a local Ross I saw piles of Legacy Metalhawks and Rise of Beasts Cheetors there. Also saw Strongarm, Animated Prowl and Nightshade. The biggest rare find I had recently around my area was Twincast+Rewind for $15.

If we go strictly by the Quintesson origin, then Transformers resembling having genders sort of makes sense. You have 'male' and 'female' looking bots for the laborer and domestic worker line that became the Autobots (possibly some of them even being made as sexbots?) while the military robot line that became the Decepticons seems to be primarily composed of 'male' robots.

I mean the helmets are the same shape, the eyes are the same, it's almost as if he gets a mouthplate-head
and because they made them different colors, they can almost kinda sorta not really function as the other head's rear, without raising suspicion. iirc only the red head's eyes are painted, the other head is using the red plastic from the red head.

The similarities end at the silhouette. one of them is a red H.R. Giger gas mask, and the other one is a roided out, teeth-grinding, wide-eyed psycho. I did have to check, but both sets of eyes are painted; that sounded true.

Probably pointed out before, but the Micro Trailer included with Star Convoy, kept the connectors that were used in the Battlestarts to attach multiple trailers together side by side. While that might seem like nothing, the main reason that feature exists is for Sky Garry to carry up to a set of 3 in his ship mode. It wouldn't surprise me if the next Haslab is a Sky Garry/Grandus set

He's the super saiyan version of Optimus that appeared at the end of the original Japanese G1 run to beat their big bad guy (Dark Nova) who was behind every evil thing in the universe the whole time. Since then they've retconned like ten million things into Japanese G1 but even in the original fiction the guy had the power of all life in the universe inside him (the Zodiac) so he was pretty much God level power.

>>11260391
Optimus Prime would die once more during the events of The Headmasters tv show. While some stuff happened in-between, he was dead for many years. Shortly after the Zone events, the Autobots decide to use the Zodiac to bring him back, but his body is stolen by a supernatural force (Dark Nova, new Decepticon leader). Due to this, a new Autobot team is assembled to retrieve him, the Battlestars. They managed to retrive the body, and finally bring him back with the Zodiac. As an added bonus, the Zodiac in his body also gave him a larger, new form, becoming Star Convoy. They would fight Dark Nova's Galaman, and a revived Megatron, now called Super Megatron (Dark Nova rescues Galvatron from the ice prison he was sent to during the HM show) across the galaxy, culminating in a final battle where not only do they fight an even more powerful Megtron (Ultra Megatron), but also Dark Nova and his various forms (Megatron and Dark Nova also merge into Star Giant). The Battlestars prevail, deatroying Star Giant, but the creatures head survives relatively intact and Megatron was inside it...

Anyway, Optimus would eventually lose this form for unknown reasons. He either lost it after he returns the Zodiac to Dai Atlas, or had his body altered into Black Powermaster Convoy for the Nucleon quest. Anyway, it's the only form he can't seem access normally with his upgraded Matrix (the reconfigurstion Matrix allows him to swap to any body he's used previously, but not Star Convoy). It should be noted that the one time he had the Zodiac, he didn't become Star Convoy again and only got the form briefly when previous commanders used the then new Energon Matrix to power him up.

I'm sure they'll restock in the coming months, and honestly Solus and Prima at least will probably be easy enough to find at retail.

Failing that you can order from BBTS or something instead I guess.

>>11260458
It's expensive but seems to be around the same price as the other Toyrise stuff last I checked. But yeah you're paying like $200-250 to what is about equivalent to a Commander class figure.

Yeah, but the figure already looked like a glorified retail figure, so about 15,000 yen would be the highest I'd go for it. It's going for 25,000, which is insane for the size and build of that thing.

I thought it was G Gundam. Angel Halo is basically a Memento Mori prototype, tubular space elevator and all. Also, doubt it. Nobody might bother buying a planetformer unless it's Unicron or Primus. And I want a Primus with a Gigantion Key (it's useless on Metroplex because his key slot is outright removed) just to make a complete Omega Lock.

On a different note, I kept noticing how one of the Thirteen always tends to be front and center in various stories of the Transformers, except Amalgamous Prime, who is arguably the representative of One for the transformation cogs. The most recent is Quintus Prime and the Emberstone, so does anyone think Cyberworld could feature Amalgamous?

So I wanted Thundertron, but realized that Walmart has a box set of him with two other guys and it was at such a deep discount it actually ended up being cheaper than buying Thundertron alone. So go check that out and see if its at that big a sale for you if you were ever curious about it I guess. Anyway I got this guy as a bonus.

Been screwing with him and he's a fun little figure, though I'm sure my feelings are influenced by the fact that I basically got him for free. Don't really care for the armorizer aspect myself because the extra bits just don't really look like they fit on anybody you can plug them onto (except maybe other Infernac guys). Kinda weird they went with making Rock Lord guys randomly in 2024, but at least I can technically throw him onto my Headmasters shelf since they're based off the rock guys that appeared in that one episode.

Well I did say only Amalgamous Prime never had been a focus in a story when everyone else is front and center in any media, including comics where Onyx Prime (or as I like to call Onyx Shockwave for the black armored one), Megatronus, and even Liege Maximo for even a single cell of the comics were given a bit of focus, and the Thirteenth is Japanese G1 Optimus for all intents and purposes, including how he gave Ginrai four pairs of Godmaster Braces despite his spark being stuck inside Vector Sigma, probably aware that the next threat is the dark half of his Artifact. As the Energon Universe comic isn't crossing that bridge yet, Cyberworld is the only other option for Amalgamous Prime to shine.

originally, there was a plan that there were a small handful of "ancient" transformers that all others came from.
Alpha Trion wasn't in the comics originally, his role was largely replaced by xaaron, who was old, but like, Kup.
The Last Autobot was this ancient transformer, predating the factions, and so both sides had lore, but then when Optimus awoke him, it became obvious which side he was on.
Liege Maximo and The fallen were introduced by Furman (same guy that made up the last autobot) as other ancient precursers. They were all quite large (the fallen dwarfed Grimlock) and very powerful.
*then* the idea of the 13 original primes were spawned, after the creation of Vector Prime who, originally, was just the Unicron Trilogy's alpha trion essentially. Old robot. They intended to have the 13 actually showcase in the UT, but that didn't pan out. So, Aaron Archer is responsible for putting the existing ancient transformers in.
But left The Last Autobot out, most likely because Vector Prime's face was ALSO based on the autobot symbol, and it might get confusing to kids.
So instead, we got alpha trion, vector prime, liege maximo, the fallen, prima (having been name dropped as the first in both g1 and g2), and 7 new ones, and then Optimus somehow being the 13th (I think the original idea was that the 13th would "arise" like hotrod did in the 86 movie)

Vector Prime had a golden mode though, AND he's the prime of time, so I fancy the idea that Vector Prime is the last autobot, from a future where all is lost, and he travels back to the beginning and adopts the new look and name, to help the autobots in their time of need.

The idea that Optimus was the secret 13th prime seems to have been a relatively late addition, since his profile from the binder states Optimus is a descendant of Prima.

Yeah, it's weird, but at least it does a better job of hiding the other head in each mode than what I was expecting - in robot mode, the satellite head is covered by his back solar panel things, in satellite mode, his robot head tucks down and has a little flap that hides it, and in spaceship mode, while the robot head stays tucked in and the satellite one stays hanging out, rotating the 'nosecone' like I did in that last pic hides it well enough.

The wings actually do lock in spaceship mode - there's little slots on the shoulderpad things that they plug into; likewise, his robot legs lock in place pretty securely. It's just his robot arms/shoulders that are awkward, since they just kinda tuck away and don't click into anything. I think this guy could be pretty simple to modernize, if Hasbro gave a damn.

so, there's basically 2 ways to look at the primes
the original concept, which was a sort of royalty that was chosen via the matrix instead of bloodlines. The only issue with this is for it to make sense, either optimus becomes a prime in modern times, all the previous primes are very short lived, or the transformers race is REEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLY old, and at that point, it seems bizaar that they were confined to cybertron for so long.

TFone did it best, IMO. the 13 were created as a council to lead the new cybertronian species. Instead of being betrayed by in-fighting, they're betrayed by a non-prime and taken out by offworlders.
2nd best, believe it or not, was one of IDWs story ideas, which was that the 13 primes were all leaders of different tribes of cybertronians, each with a different titan, and city-state to rule, and it was only after war broke out and the primes were killed or fled that the various tf types mixed.

the original concept for the 13 was the 12 zodiac signs for the constellations, and the sun. They make it pretty clear with the wheel symbology and the personality descriptions of the primes being more like horoscope traits.

Personally, I think they overthought it all. I think the idea that there were originally 13 transformers is fine, and the idea that 1 of them started a lineage of leaders via the matrix is good too, but I think the other 12 should be seen as the prototypes of various types, before the factory that is Cybertron itself started cranking out variations of them to populate.

I like how colorful some of them got, even if they are inferior in other respects to their modern counterparts. Sideways is a good example.

The new one is a good figure with a solid silhouette (although his ankle joints aren’t great), but it’s another entirely silver robot in the movie lineup.

It's this. Remember that the Ark and Nemesis crashed onto Earth when the dinosaurs were still around, and while everyone on board was stuck in Stasis Lock until 1986, the war was still raging on Cybertron the whole time. Also remember that Optimus and Megatron are not considered all that old by Cybertronian standards, and there are characters far, far older than them in the franchise; these guys are extremely long-lived and have been at it for longer than we're capable of counting.
