Scythe (Thirteen)

This article is about Amalgamous Prime's weapon. For the Mini-Con, see Scythe (Cybertron).

Just wait until he turns that thing into a Fancy Santa.

Though nominally a Scythe, the chosen weapon of Amalgamous Prime is just as unpredictable as its bearer, ever-changing and taking on other forms and states of matter, from solid to liquid and back again.

“Woah! Is that a scythe?”
”It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!”
“A-wha…?”
“It’s also a gun.”

• The Thirteen Amalgamous Prime (Voyager Class, 2026)

• TakaraTomy ID number: AOTP-29
• TakaraTomy release date: 2026 April
• Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy)

Released as part of the first 2026 wave of Age of the Primes, Amalgamous Prime comes with his signature Scythe as his primary accessory. It also folds up to form the barrel for his two official tank modes.

The blaster back-end of the Scythe is removable, with a 5 mm post for use in other locations. The end of the handle has a Prime-style transformation cog on the end that is also removable, with a 5 mm socket on the flat end.

Notes

• The weapon known as the Scythe being able to take on any form reads uncannily like a reference to the webcomic Problem Sleuth.
