The Advent Of The Primes

The Advent of the Primes

So it is that time of year again and the way 2020 has been going, I think a bit of cheer (and possibly mass quantities of alcohol) is needed. I tried the VS thing but didn’t really get or come up with enough ideas so I changed the theme. To the best of my knowledge (depending on the continuity) the original 13 Primes vary so I will go with what I saw in the Covenant of Primus. Now beyond the POTP Prime cores, there isn’t a toy to represent each one from any given company be it official or 3P. Some I have, some I don’t, so whatever is missing, I have (or will) customize. My skills with customs are not great but I think they are passable.

Now since most are repaints, I picked bots that would closely emulate what I have seen in pics, be it in the book, comics or internet images. To make it even more complicated, if I already have a toy representation and posted it, I won’t do it again but will instead post a single pic with the actual Prime core. If it is something I customized/created, what I will do is post a gallery of the original bot, before I butchered it so to speak, so we can see a before and after. Having said all that on with the show.

Not sure what can be said about this other than it is needed for reference. It’s a big transforming Autobot symbol with a book in it. I did snag it on sale a few years ago from Amazon (haven’t gotten around to finishing the book but the artwork is fantastic.)

Rung and the 13 Prime Masters

So, before we get into the individuals lets start here. I will assume at this point anyone who reads this knows who Rung is and kinda figured this would be the start of the 13 in their infancy. As near as I can figure this is the only official release of toys in its entirety. Unicron has not yet become a threat exactly so eventually they will “grow” into new bodies (well at least for the purpose of this thread they are going to).

Rung and Primus, Primus and Rung
So, they are the same guy. Does that mean he is riding a scooter on his on “skin?” Anyway, I didn’t have a small enough scooter so a skateboard will have to do. Also the TLK Cybertron/Primus shots are older ones which reminds me I’ll have to re-shoot him one day.
