Takara Tomy announced seven new figures for its Transformers Age of the Primes (AOTP) line, scheduled for release in late February 2027, with pre-orders opening on September 9, 2026. The line centers on the Thirteen Primes, the originators of the Transformers. Among the new items are two large figures: AOTP-46 Jetfire (Armada Universe), a space shuttle that includes three Minicons (Astroscope, Sky Blast, and Payload) that combine into the Astro Blaster weapon, and AOTP-47 Optimus Prime (Armada Universe), a tractor-trailer whose container transforms into a battle station base and can link up for a Super Mode. Both figures can combine with each other and are priced at 17,600 yen each. The wave also includes smaller figures: AOTP-48 Fangry, a Decepticon Headmaster priced at 4,950 yen; AOTP-49 Blurr with Targetmaster Peacemaker at 4,950 yen; AOTP-50 Autobot Joyride with partner Hotwire at 4,950 yen; and AOTP-51 Tailgate at 4,950 yen. The wave caps with AOTP-52 Sentinel Prime, a Cybertronian tank figure with Conduit accessory, priced at 12,100 yen.
The seven new Age of the Primes items span a range of characters from across the Transformers multiverse, including the Armada universe incarnations of Jetfire and Optimus Prime, which originally appeared in the anime 'Super Robot Life-Form Transformers Micron Legend.' Optimus Prime's container transforms into a battle station that can link up with the robot in Super Mode, and both figures can combine with each other when purchased separately. The smaller figures include classic characters like Fangry, a Decepticon Headmaster who turns into a winged wolf monster, and Blurr, who comes with his Targetmaster partner Peacemaker. Autobot Joyride is a Powermaster whose partner Hotwire becomes an engine that amplifies his power, while Tailgate is a scout who turns into a white sports car. Sentinel Prime, a villain who plots to steal artifacts from the Thirteen Primes, transforms into a Cybertronian tank and includes the Conduit, an item that collects Prime power. All figures are aimed at ages 15 and up, and the images shown are of prototypes, so final specifications may differ.
