'''''Power of the Primes''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline, constituting the third and final portion of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

First introduced in mid-[[2017]] at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], ''Power of the Primes'', in keeping with the previous two toylines, features a complex line-wide [[gimmick]] that encompasses every size class: the "[[Prime Master]]s", which are small [[Powermaster]]/[[Titan Master]]-esque figures that represent the sparks of the [[Thirteen|Primes]]. Prime Masters can store in [[Pretender]] style Decoy Suits, this is the basis for the Prime Master pricepoint. Prime Masters are able to pilot the alt-modes of Legends Class figures, similar to Titan Masters. Deluxe figures include armor that mounts on their chests and can attach a Prime Master in a manner similar to the [[Breastforce]], be used as hands for combiners or as a block to fill out the torso of a combiner. Voyagers have arm mounted bucklers, which allows Prime Masters to become armor for the Voyager figure's arm or become feet for the combiner.

Unlike Titan Masters, Prime Masters are available only in their own pricepoint, where they are packaged with [[Pretender]]-style Decoy Suits, but can interact in some way with all larger assortments.


All Deluxe class figures have combiner posts to combine with Voyager class figures, who have combiner ports, similar to ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''. The chest armor and bucklers that hold Prime Masters included with Deluxe Class and Voyager Class figures respectively can form a hand or foot for the limb modes.  
Legends Class figures retain the ability to seat a small figure in alt-mode, whilst the Deluxe and Voyager Class pricepoints see the return of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style [[Combiner]]s. The combination joints remain unchanged, whilst the hand/foot system is tweaked: all Deluxes now include a hand, and all Voyagers a pair of feet. These accessories also facilitate the Prime Master integration for those size classes: Deluxes can use their hand as chest armor, into which a Prime Master spark mode can slot, and Voyagers can use their feet as forearm bucklers, which similarly fit a Prime Master.


Leader-class toys are unique: rather than being a single full-sized figure, each Leader-Class ''Power of the Primes'' figure is a small, Deluxe-sized figure that can combine with an auxiliary component to "power up" into a larger [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]. Leader-Class toys also come with a unique [[Matrix]], which can mount any Prime Master figure.  
Finally, Leader Class figures feature an "Evolution" gimmick, wherein each toy includes a Deluxe-sized character who can "evolve" into a Prime by combining with additional armor. Each Leader includes a uniquely-colored [[Matrix of Leadership]], the central crystal of which can be removed and replaced with a Prime Master.


This toyline can also interact with the last two toylines in the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''. For ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', as we already said, all deluxe class figures have combiner posts, while Voyager class figures have combiner ports, meaning you can mix and match to create combiners using the two toylines. This also means that deluxe class figures can combine with ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Godbomber#Legends|Godbomber]], and all of its subsequent reuses. For ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', as we mentioned earlier, all Prime Masters share the same design as [[Titan Master]]s, meaning they could interact with any figure from that toyline as a Titan Master would. This also means Titan Masters can interact with this toyline as a Prime Master would.
Ahead of the line's release, a fan vote took place to determine a character who would become a new Prime in both the toyline and accompanying stories, with [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] claiming victory, and a place in the Leader Class assortment. <ref>[http://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/pb.146805978722938.-2207520000.1487463781./1362620857141438/?type=3&theater]</ref>

Power of the Primes is a subline imprint of the Generations toyline, and the third and final portion of the Prime Wars Trilogy.

First revealed in mid-2017 at San Diego Comic-Con, Power of the Primes, in keeping with the previous two toylines, features a line-wide gimmick: "Prime Masters", small Titan Master-type figures that represent the sparks of the Primes. Unlike Titan Masters, Prime Masters are available only in their own pricepoint, where they are packaged with Pretender-style Decoy Suits, but can interact in some way with all larger assortments.

Legends Class figures retain the ability to seat a small figure in alt-mode, whilst the Deluxe and Voyager Class pricepoints see the return of Combiner Wars-style Combiners. The combination joints remain unchanged, whilst the hand/foot system is tweaked: all Deluxes now include a hand, and all Voyagers a pair of feet. These accessories also facilitate the Prime Master integration for those size classes: Deluxes can use their hand as chest armor, into which a Prime Master spark mode can slot, and Voyagers can use their feet as forearm bucklers, which similarly fit a Prime Master.

Finally, Leader Class figures feature an "Evolution" gimmick, wherein each toy includes a Deluxe-sized character who can "evolve" into a Prime by combining with additional armor. Each Leader includes a uniquely-colored Matrix of Leadership, the central crystal of which can be removed and replaced with a Prime Master.

Ahead of the line's release, a fan vote took place to determine a character who would become a new Prime in both the toyline and accompanying stories, with Optimus Primal claiming victory, and a place in the Leader Class assortment. [1]
