Totem power!

The three-faced Triptych Mask (or Onyx Triptych) of Onyx Prime allows him to see things others can't: times, places, souls, and even the afterlife. The top mask, Farsight, showed visions of other places and times. The middle mask, Predator, gave Onyx immediate insight into any creature so that he can hunt it faultlessly. The bottom mask, Mournsong, allows Onyx to watch the journey of a Spark across the hidden regions of death.

By stabbing them.
  • The Thirteen Onyx Prime (Leader Class, 2025)
For its inclusion with Age of the Primes Leader Class Onyx Prime, the Triptych Mask bears his personal emblem and has been re-imagined as a spearhead, attaching to a pole via 5 mm port, perhaps in reference to the character's then-recent appearance in Transformers One in which he wielded a similar weapon. The spear also doubles as an arrow, with Onyx's tail splitting open to form the bow. The spear can tab onto the back of either of his wings or be reconfigured to store on the rear of his beast modes.
Onyx was revealed at New York Toy Fair 2025 and went up for pre-order on June 10.
