Hot off the Transformers Fanstream we have a look behind the scenes on the just revealed Age Of The Primes Micronus Prime!

Mark @markclonus has prepared another look at the making of this newest addition to The Thirteen with a very smart Deluxe Class figure that is loaded with features from the Micron to the Exo-suit to the Chimera stone artifact. Read the concept design notes on the new reveal with images to follow.

Mighty Micronus Prime has graced us with his presence. Oh how the minicons have rejoiced their great granddaddy, the first ever minicon, has returned. Whats this you say, he has with him an apex armored exo suit that mimicks his every move, powered by the amazing tini tiny but super powerful Chimera stone artifact!

I fell in love with the RID design for Micronus right when he was training Optimus in the realm of the primes. So I started there and I always wanted to do a one wheeled motorcycle, seemed like a fitting alt mode for a minicon king, but once I kicked off to Kunihiro san, he had pointed out that being the first ever minicon, he should actually be a minicon. My brain module almost shattered but then the spark was planted and the energon flowed.

An exo-suit powered by a disc 🤔 how cool would it be if the ancient prime artifact the Chimera stone powered the suit when he wasn’t in it, it mimics his every move, an extension of his own self but yet still a companion. Now we are 🧑‍🍳 cookin! I always love to dive into the lore of the amazing 40 year megabrand that we all love, I love utilizing references and embracing what makes this brand stand out from the rest. When you have Takara Tomy by your side, you can really make miracles and dreams come true.

Lets get into the teeny tiny deets, the exo-suit (apex armor/ early beginnings of pretender technology) does indeed come apart to power up (weaponize) other characters. The Armada minicon logo was obviously a must, and I utilized the colors from the RID animation but juiced them up a bit 😉 Im going to stop there because the fun you will have in hand with this guy, is just a really great feeling that I’ve been chasing with the primes. Somthing different but familiar and somthing innovative, fresh, and new, lemme know if your here for it 👇🏻
