Mastermind Creations had a neat little display out at Roll Out Roll Call 2012 in the UK this weekend - showcasing a bunch of their upcoming releases. There's a lot of "first looks" here including one big new reveal!
Knight Morpher Air Screech / Hearts of Steel Starscream was shown for the first time in vehicle mode.
Knight Morpher Thunder / Hearts of Steel Thundercracker and Knight Morpher Warper / Hearts of Steel Skywarp were revealed. Both are recolors of Starscream / Air Screech.
Now for the big reveal:
A render of Reformatted (Classics styled) Prominion was shown. Prominion is a unique design shown with multiple swords dueling Hexatron. He is a striking silver and blue, Prime styled mecha - potentially this is an unlicensed version of the first of the Primes, Prima. It has also been suggested that this could be a version of Nova Prime. It's a nice looking design either way - hopefully we can learn more soon.
The latest version of the Knight Morpher Cyclops was also shown, towering over the Takara Hybrid Style Optimus Prime.
All this coverage comes to you courtesy of our fellow UK fans at
Full Metal Hero.
