It follows the story of the Thirteen Primes uniting their artifacts to create the Well of Sparks and give birth to all Cybertronian life,[1] their descendants.[2]
The line was first teased at Hasbro Pulse Con 2024 in the form of its logo,[3] before the first figure was shown off roughly a month later at the Hasbro Pulse Premium 1027 event.[4]Age of the Primes continues the War for Cybertron Trilogy and Legacy's setup of Transformers toys based on multiple past series, with the centerpieces now being the Thirteen.
This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail.
Wave 1
Notes
According to former Director of Product Design John Warden, the 2025 and 2026 toylines are connected.[5] In the same vein as this, lead designer Mark Maher later stated that all thirteen Primes would be released between those two years.[2]
Concurrently with 2025’s Studio Series assortment, the toyline sees a return to the plastic windows not seen on Transformers packaging since War for Cybertron: Kingdom. Also concurrently with Studio Series, the boxes are now less decorated than their predecessors, replacing the full package artwork with an all-black design that has art of the figure’s robot and alternate forms on one side of the window, with the robot form on the left side of the box and the toyline’s poster on the right. (They also now feature little graphics on the front showing the toy’s step count.)
