Optimus Prime 654
Paramount
OH YEAH SPEAKING OF ALIGNED
The Thirteen there are the same being as the ones we see in the Convenant of Primus and Exiles novelization.he claimed to be empowered to some degree but we have no clue how strong the RID thirteen are
i will say, he does have one potential implied planetary feat
that being his plan to fuse the anti spark and the allspark would have destroyed both earth and cybertron, and he didnt seem like he had a deathwish, so i guess he would have just tanked it
huh, really interesting! do you happen to have the original post? I wonder if they’ll ever revisit this idea in the future@OtherGalaxy @grillmaster Yo I just found out the 13th prime for AOTP WASN'T originally Star Convoy. According to the designers, Mark planned for a Voyagar Class for the 13th whos name was "The Arisen". Here, they implied The Arisen was a seperate character from Optimus and Star Convoy was originally gonna be a Haslab. However due to Haslab Omega Prime blocking the way and production issues, they made Star Convoy a mainline figure, giving the name "Star Optimus Prime" and he will be the one guiding all the primes for this toyline.
So they did planned to make an "The Arisen" figure which likely was taking design inspiration from the 13th Prime picture we see from the Convenant of Primus, but more G1 styled. Idk what was his artifact though. Could be the Matrix of Leadership repacked from Prima
According to BBJazz from TFW2005, he asked the designers about this in Megacon ever since February and this was what the designers stated:huh, really interesting! do you happen to have the original post?
Mark wanted to do the Arisen as a Voyager separate from Optimus Prime, at least it was discussed. They're considering doing Zeta at some point in SS.
I don't think they will ever revisit this since they have outright depicted Star Optimus as the 13th. Atleast it is not an ordinary Optimus like what the dumbass Aligned continuity did and plus Star Optimus does serve a purpose to be the 13th for this lineup. We also know Age of the Primes is a two year lineup and we got the listings alr, so idk if they were gonna do "The Arisen" figure and makes no sense since Star Optimus is alr depicted as The Arisen. Still, I'm interested to see what was The Arisen's robot modeI wonder if they’ll ever revisit this idea in the future
