Transformers AOTP-53 Guzzle is a fully transformable figure of a Wrecker, around 168mm tall and priced at 7,150 yen. AOTP-54 Cybershark is a Maximal who changes between robot mode and a shark beast mode, listed at the same price and roughly 206mm tall. The lineup also names Skygard, Autobot Breakaway, and Alpha Bravo, though the sources give no scale, price, or SKU details for those three. The Age of the Primes line builds its figures around the 13 Primes, the origin figures of the Transformers fiction, and has been working through Primes that had rarely been made as toys. Each figure ships with a dedicated weapon and poseable joints.","whyItMatters":"The line's stated premise, toy versions of the 13 Primes and characters rarely made before, keeps pulling entries from outside the core Prime roster, and three of the five new names arrive with no product data attached.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGuzzle is a Wrecker, and the character is rumored to have been given new abilities by the 13 Primes, which is why he carries sturdy armor and high-firepower weapons.
