The Thirteen are almost complete, and what better than an official spotlight on the making of the Transformers Age Of The Primes Liege Maximo.

Today, we get the inside scoop on the Leader Class figure that was virtually ripped from the comic pages into the big green menace of a Transformers character. Read the full behind the scenes and concept ideas that went into making this fantastic figure come to life.

Introducing Liege Maximo—the whisperer in the dark, the architect of doubt, the Prime who fell so far he became legend. This figure needs to step into your collection as Transformers first true decepticon, a prime that mastered the art of deception. His artifact, the liegian darts possess great power, but Maximo’s words are his greatest weapon.

Worked on this glorious leader item with the master Yuki san at Takara Tomy. Lots of fun and love went into this and I think it shows. I hope to get to do more outlandish creative designs in TF because this guy was just so much fun to work on.

I felt the cables had to be contained but I imagine them being an extension of him, each individual cord is alive and transform in and out of his body as needed. They are shimmering with metallic blue paint and have such intense sculpt details on them its soooo cooool! The sculpt details all over are outrageous, spikes, veins, earthy hunka chunkahs, you name it, this guy has it! The weapon along with the darts can transform into the front of the alien warship alt mode. I imagine his darts have thier own individual abilities and personas, I was workshopping some lore with my man Monzo Matt but I don’t know where we settled on.

The thirteen primes are almost completed, what sort of event will happen, whats next, is this the end of all cybertronians or the beginning, stay tuned to find out!
