Via his Instagram page, Hasbro Transformers designer Mark Maher has brought us a behind the scenes look at the newly-revealed Age Of The Primes Voyager Heatwave!
“Its game time!! We finally have another Rescue bot graduating to the Autobot front lines! Move over Bulkhead, Heatwave is ready to put out any Decepticon fire power! Make sure you grab his teamate Chase as they look great together in your collection.
Shout out to the extremely talented Yuya Onishi san, he crushes it on every project, flawless victories again and again.
Since Chase came with his energon claw I thought it fitting to make sure Heatwave has his double barreled energon extinguisher blaster and of course, an energon axe, eat your ❤️ heat out Optimus! I was super glad Yuya was able to finangle a ladder as I felt that it was obviously a key element to keep in Heatwave’s design, but also a fun lil play accessory which we hardly come across any step ladders for our figures.
I thought the fire truck mode was really special, due to transformation, your able to play out the ol touch a truck experience, how many of yall got to do that as a kid!? We got to put in some engine type detailing on the forearm parts so you can really play out the engine repair mechanic.
I hope we will be able to further this collection, as I want my main cast of characters complete! Preorders up now on @HasbroPulse. Rescue bots ahrmmm… Autobots roll out!”
