Age of the Primes Deluxe Powerglide, Swerve, Ratchet and Smokescreen Revealed

Posted by william-james88 Dec 21, 2025 at 6:57pm CST 13,044 views
Thanks to several Weibo posts we have looks at the new Transformers Generations Age Of The Primes revealed at an offline event in China. Those include the following deluxe toys:

• Powerglide― G1

• Swerve ― G1

• Smokescreen ― TF Prime

• Ratchet - Animated

Ratchet is particularly interesting as he is a retool of the Earthrise Trailbreaker/Hoist mold and comes with multiple tools homaging the original Animated toy. These are slated for 2026 late spring/summer.

What's with the different color shades for Powerglide? Variant color releases or hand painted prototype?

Absolutely! One can never have enough transforming mammoths.

Upon further inspection, that Powerglide plane mode is a bit small and short. I know he was a Minibot, but maybe he should've been a voyager for a more proportional plane mode?

Also I'm impressed with that Ratchet. He's a deluxe, but that TB/Hoist mold is a big deluxe.

Ratchet looks fantastic, can't wait to get him

Love powerglide's robot mode and happy to add him to my collection. A little nitpicky but the hands are pretty obvious when looking at the alt mode from the side but that's my only gripe

Anyone think Prime Smokescreen will be retooled into knock out? Or Bumblebee maybe? I'd love a Prime universe Bumblebee figure

I didn't realize until now that the wave breakdown put the Prime Cliffjumper repack (which I will be getting since I wasn't going to grab a whole 4-pack for just him) in the same wave as these other 4 specific Deluxes, does make we wonder which 2 of these are gonna be shortpacked, but also why is this whole Deluxe wave red/white-and-red Autobots

Ratchet wears that mold better than the guys it was made for, imo, and he even looks to have all the tools from his original figure! Definite purchase, Siege Ratchet is getting demoted to I guess an unnamed medical extra now.

No interest in Powerglide from me, but I'd gladly snag a Viper repaint (don't care enough about Bad Boy to buy him solo, but if they put him in an appealing multipack I'd consider it).

Surprised by how much retooling Swerve got, I was expecting just the head and chest but I like the big faux shoulder wheels. Shame they couldn't/didn't give him My First Blaster (I know it wouldn't have been G1 accurate, don't care). Might pick him up on sale, we'll see.

The mystery unlabeled Smokescreen is the Prime version, sick! Chest seems like it's not tabbed in in these picks, so I'd love to see better pictures down the line, but the car mode looks basically perfect, the head sculpt is solid, and it even looks like he has a molded-in Phase Shifter on his left arm! Definitely grabbing him too.

I suspect it's a combination of hand-painted prototype and also just how colors change when photographed, since Ratchet is also way brighter in some of those shots than others.

Knock Out would still have his kibble in the wrong spots like the Jazz retool, and I don't know that they'd do another Knock Out so soon, but someone's already digibashed a Bee and I'd absolutely be down (though presumably with different guns).

Smokescreen looks pretty good. Already own the Takara original, so not sure I really need to pick this up.

Maybe if they give us Prowl, Bluestreak or even Barricade repaints? Yes, I know, they were not in the show. But what else are you gonna do with a new Smokescreen mold?

Also, both Prowl and Barricade were repaints of Prime Smokescreen, so there is precedent. And that mold in balcony would look nice.

Ratchet may be a pass. The Trailbreaker mold fits him pretty well though.

Powerglide is a definite pickup though.

I'm not really a fan of how chubby the Powerglide alt mode is, looks kinda funny.

Also like Animated Ratchet, looks much better than I expected any retool of that mold to be.

I guess to finish it off too, Swerve looks pretty cool, I am OK with the faux wheels, I just wish his head was better

I like powerglide and Ratchet but do we know when Armada Jetfire will be revealed? That is what I looking forward too the most

Smokescreen looks really good. I don't really any new repaints from him other then everything the original got and the blue Beast Hunters look.

But who knows maybe he'll be used as random euro G1 character or something.

That's like Legacy United wave 3 when we had Side Burn, Hot Shot and the Strong Arm repack together.

He's the second Commander of 2026 so he'll be released around the same time as the SS Constructicon set was this year. Don't expect a reveal until Summer.

They're wave 2, right? Hard to say with the way Hasbro has been, when was even our last live stream? Keep seeing Marvel and G.I.Joe ones going up. Hopefully by Toy Fair on Feb 14 we'll see something.

I wanna say it's been quite awhile
Sounds good to me though, thank you!

Last fanstream was Studio Series reveals for 2024/2025 on June 24th, everything since then was a convention panel or a random Pulse drop. I imagine we shouldn't have to wait too long for Nexus and Liege now that the entire rest of that wave has been shown between two conventions, but I guess with this new reveal schedule or lack thereof there's no telling for sure.

Long Haul and Hook got revealed December 21st last year on a random social media drop, in theory Jetfire could get shown any day between now and....I guess Toy Fair on the 14th? If they keep consistent with this year and show 2026 product at SDCC, Jetfire would have to be revealed already by then.

I'm still both very curious and very scared with what they will do with Nexus.

Nexus is one of my 3 favorites of the 13, with Onyx and Micronus being the other 2, and they nailed those 2 already.

What makes me nervous is he is the Prime of combination. TFCC did good with him back in the day, but obviously he needs the modern combiner form. But if he is only a voyager, what are they going to do? He can't work with the current combiner teams. And Amalgamous kinda stole the idea of splitting apart into multiple alt modes, so if they go that route it kinda neuters his uniqueness.

And frankly, if he doesn't combine in some fashion that is unique, they wouldn't have done him right. The COP design is cool, and it is said it can separate into individual bots, but if that design is a voyager, I can't see it being more than a 2nd Amalgamous.

To be fair, there's nothing to suggest Amalgamous' multiple forms have distinct personalities. For all we know, Nexus' individual componants will be described as having those, or at least will have their own transformations.

I saw a theory that Nexus requires you to buy more than one to get the most out of him like Reflector which would be pretty crazy to do.

I wonder if he'll be able to combine with other figures in a different way, like there might be a secret combiner form built into other Primes that we haven't seen or noticed yet.

Also, side note, now that we're getting Animated Ratchet in this line they really have to make an Animated Lockdown out of the Chase mold. This needs to be a thing!

Maybe he's just a retooled Onslaught, and you use Onslaught's frame to combine him with Brawl, Vortex, and 2 Aerial bots? Technically, there is no A-10 Thunderbolt for the left leg, if we are to adhere to the TimeLines representation, but we do have Aerialbots we could use. Not sure if the arm Aerialbota can connect to Onslaught's frame though.

If they do make Lockdown, he needs to be his own mold. Likely a Voyager to get his height and his spare parts in there, including Ratchet's EMP generator.

In all honestly, they could just re-release the original with better wrist articulation. :DANCE:

Found Razorclaw at a walmart, he is pretty neat, I like the mold and the new colors are nice.

Image

That same walmart was absolutely LOADED. There were 7 G2 Grimlocks (but no other leaders besides the 1 Razorclaw), 3 Red alert, 1 Alpha Trion, 1 Heatwave, 1 Sky byte, 11(!) Mixmaster, and 14(!!) Ironhide. The voyagers were also at the new $45 pricepoint, so it seems they are being rejected at the moment

Image

With the acquisition of Razorclaw, I was able to take a photo of a bunch of friends here at Seibertron (even if I am not in the photo, no good figure to use for myself)

Image

And finally, I discovered something about 3 of the Primes released to date, they work as an alternate Huntr/x
