It is 13 PRIMES time once again with a much anticipated spotlight on the Transformers Age Of The Primes Onyx Prime Leader class figure. The golden beast of a Thirtreen character release. Hasbro's Transformers designer Mark Maher @markclonus gives us the update on the figure that rolled out at Toy Fair 2025.

This is a very striking figure design that there are lots of questions about, to be sure. We still don't know the official release date for this, but expect to ship in July 2025 for $54.99 USD. Read on for the official behind the scenes report on the Age Of The Primes Onyx Prime figure, with official product copy and images to follow.

At last, Onyx Prime has decided to grace your presence with his divinne beast kingdom glory! All behold the Triptych Mask artifact that has unique powers and will be welded to defeat any who oppose him. It is my great pleasure to bring this prime to your Age of the Primes toy generations collection at none other than leader scale at that!

As always, huge shouts out to Shu san from Takara Tomy, my beast wars brethren who always turns it up on these out of the box characters.

I really seasoned this spicy character with all sorts of cooking love. Shout out to @ken_christiansen_art and @aaronarcherofficial for putting the early look of this dude together. 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻 I even got a lil love from @marcelomatere on how techno-organic should I go on his tail…which did I mention, I made it a cool bow and the mask has been upgraded to a wicked spear/arrow! Went wild beast mode on the sculpt, threw in eagle references, horse references, gargoyle references all sorts of spikes, horns, and angular cybertronian angles, WOOF 🐶! Colors were a challenge but I feel I dialed in the tones enough to get that good contrast, the metallic hits hard in hand!

The multitude of abilites on this guy, phew…really just bewildered by this beast, lemme see if I can give ya the quick Marky 🫨 shake down. The front hoofs in centaur mode can be cascaded around his beefy shoulders, you have a wide array of versatility in between centaur and beast mode, his head can be transformed into a more beasty look for centaur mode but can be left upward to showcase his wide array of optics in robot mode. His spear has many different places for all sorts of cool poses and storage, his wings have a great range of articulation which I tried to showcase here.

I’m just very proud 🥹 that I could help bring these 13 primes to life. Alchemist Prime, pass me a cool glass of energon and lets talk over some tings!
