Here's where the Power of the Primes stuff starts to get a little messy.

Okay, so, like, there's these Thirteen Original Primes.  Some of them have gotten toys before, like Megatronus (The Fallen) and Vector Prime and Alpha Trion.  Most of them haven't!  But they're getting toys now!

Sort of!

See, they're being represented in toy form as... random Pretenders characters from 1988.  For example, in this case, this toy that for all the world that looks like Pretender Cloudburst has "Micronus" written on the package, and this is a toy of Micronus wearing a "Cloudburst decoy suit" or something like that, maybe.  I can't remember if that's just HasCon presentation slide stuff or if any of that Cloudburst stuff made it to the packaging proper.  I'm too lazy to grab the instructions off the floor.

Why is Cloudburst actually Micronus?  I dunno.  Micronus is, well, the Mini-Con member of the Thirteen.  Cloudburst doesn't really have anything about him that would suggest he'd be an appropriate repurposing for Micronus.  

I dunno what's going on here.

The play pattern idea is, however, that you take the little Prime Master robot guy out of the "decoy suit" or whatever, and you fold him up into his altmode, which is a chunk of plastic with a Micronus symbol on it, and you plug him into another Power of the Primes toy and pretend that grants the other toy a certain powerset.  Micronus's powerset seems to be related to "Power-linking," or in plain English: sharing.  If you plug Micronus into Swoop, for example, it's said that Swoop can gift other Transformers the power of flight.  Throw your Jazz up into the air and see what happens.... in your imaaaaaaaaaaagination!

The "decoy suit" transforms into a double-barreled gun for other Transformers to wield.  Also, the gun barrels can pop off the back of the "decoy suit" and be pegged into the fisthole of the "decoy suit" to be used as a weapon.

It's a little more fun than it sounds, but Micronus/Cloudburst is just a bad example.  Now, Liege Maximo, whose powerset is "be Marvel's Loki," and Vector Prime, whose powerset is "time travel"... those offer some more interesting playtime possibilities.  

I mean, would you rather transform into a Sharing Gun or a... TIME GUN?
