Throne of the Primes

Now gimme the secret, botcub
Come on, clue me what to do!
Give me the power of the Prime Masters
So I can be like you!

After being chosen as Cybertron's next leader by the Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Primal sits upon the Throne of the Primes whenever he has to pull rank in the most grandiose and overbearing of ways. The throne is connected to the Halo of Primus, which presumably allows it to channel some sort of divine power from the Thirteen Primes.

Power of the Primes

The Throne of the Primes is a cardboard throne decorated with vine patterns and a Maximal insignia that comprises the inner packaging of the SDCC 2018 exclusive Power of the Primes Optimus Primal set. It features artwork of the faces of the eight other competitors in the 2017 fan vote for the next Prime along the sides — Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Hound, Shockwave, Megatron, Star Saber, Thunderwing, and Unknown Evil. The throne also includes a plastic insert molded to the shape of Primal's derriere, but this portion is removable and is not required for Primal to sit on the throne. The backrest of the throne is connected to the Halo of Primus, a circular rotating plastic insert that can accommodate twelve Prime Masters.

Notes

• Clearly, Primal didn't get Optimus Prime's memo about thrones being for Decepticons.
• Before you drive yourself crazy or accuse an eBay seller of not sending all the parts, one of the Prime Masters is in the Scepter and another is at the bottom of the dial with the two at top.
