Optimus Prime Armor He-Man and Starscream Armor Scareglow MOTU Transformers Teased

Masters of the Universe and Transformers fans have even more reason to speculate, as the mini comic packed in with the new MOTU Origins Transformers crossover figures might be hinting at what’s next! The story doesn’t just showcase the revealed Megatron Armor Skeletor and Bumblebee Armor Man-At-Arms—it also slips in some intriguing appearances that have our collector radar buzzing. Eagle-eyed fans will notice what looks to be an Optimus Prime Armor He-Man and a Starscream Armor Scareglow woven into the action, which could mean Mattel is already planning a second wave of crossover figures. With the first wave’s early review and in-hand images from Toy Shiz, it’s exciting to think that more Cybertron-infused Eternians might be on the horizon. Could Mattel be gearing up for a big reveal at New York Comic Con 2025 or perhaps during CCXP 2025? Those events are prime stages for surprise announcements, and given the buzz around these mashups, it wouldn’t be a shock to see them pull the curtain back there. Until we get official confirmation, the possibilities are endless—and half the fun is imagining what’s coming next for this epic collision of worlds.

Starscream Armor Scareglow

In the mini comic that comes with the first wave of MOTU Transformers, Starscream Armor Scareglow bursts onto the page with a striking fusion of Transformers tech and MOTU menace, sporting Starscream’s angular red, yellow, and grey jet armor reimagined over Scareglow’s eerie, skeletal frame. The torso carries the classic cockpit chest and wing-mounted detailing, while his limbs blend mechanical plating with bone-like structure, glowing in a spectral yellow hue. Purple ghostly energy swirls around him, hinting at Scareglow’s supernatural origins, and his skull head sits menacingly within the armored frame, completing this mash-up of cybernetic power and undead terror—a design that feels tailor-made for a potential Wave 2 MOTU Transformers crossover release.

Optimus Prime Armor He-Man

Optimus Prime Armor He-Man commands attention with a perfect blend of Eternian might and Autobot engineering, donning Prime’s iconic red, silver, and blue armor across his muscular frame. The chest features the familiar truck grill plating with angular shoulder pauldrons, while the blue helmet with silver faceplate and crest seamlessly integrates into He-Man’s heroic visage. His lower legs sport mechanical wheel-like armor, and his right hand wields a massive Power Sword upgraded with Cybertronian detailing, merging the tech of the Autobots with the magic of Eternia. This powerhouse fusion looks ready to lead the charge, making him an ideal contender for a Wave 2 MOTU Transformers crossover figure.

Mini Comic: By The Energon of Grayskull

The mini comic cover features vibrant artwork of Bumblebee Armor Man-At-Arms and Megatron Armor Skeletor locked in an intense battle. Man-At-Arms, clad in yellow and blue armor with the Autobot insignia on his chest, raises his fist in defiance, while Skeletor, in gray and purple armor with the Decepticon insignia, grips him with one arm and aims his massive fusion cannon with the other. Explosive clouds and streaks of orange and purple fill the background, heightening the sense of action. The Masters of the Universe × Transformers logo is prominently displayed at the top, with the bold title “By the Energon of Grayskull” along the bottom.

Pages 1 and 2 of the minicomic set the stage for the crossover, beginning on Cybertron where the civil war between Autobots and Decepticons has ravaged the planet over control of Energon. The Autobots flee in search of a new home, but the Decepticons pursue them with the goal of eradicating all Autobots. As their situation becomes dire, the Autobot Ark ejects its historical archives to preserve their legacy and warn others. The archive pod travels across the universe, eventually landing on Eternia, where Man-At-Arms and the Sorceress discover it. Scanning the device, they identify it as originating from a cybernetic alien planet. A recorded message from Optimus Prime introduces himself and reveals it comes from a highly advanced technological society. The Sorceress and Man-At-Arms agree to investigate further, with Duncan already downloading the data.

On page 3, Man-At-Arms is confronted by Skeletor, who now wields the power and form of Megatron. Skeletor boasts that Man-At-Arms is too late and taunts him before firing the Havoc Cannon. As Man-At-Arms reels from the attack, Skeletor declares his intent to demonstrate what Megatron would do, leaving Duncan shocked and questioning, “Megatron?”

On page 4, Skeletor, in his Megatron armor, declares that the Energon of Grayskull will be his, but He-Man intervenes to stop him. Skeletor boasts of his newfound, unparalleled power, which begins to drain the Power of Grayskull from He-Man. Man-At-Arms fires back, hitting Skeletor and forcing him to retreat. As he departs, Skeletor vows that the power of Energon will eventually be his, leaving He-Man and Man-At-Arms reacting to the mention of Energon.

On page 5, back at Man-At-Arms’ lab, it’s revealed that Energon—the power source central to the Autobot/Decepticon war—has similar energy readings to Castle Grayskull, making the Power of Grayskull and Energon essentially the same. Skeletor, now imbued with Energon through his Megatron armor, poses a major threat. Man-At-Arms explains that Megatron’s nemesis is Optimus Prime and the Autobots, inspiring him to create new Autobot armor for himself. Fully suited up alongside Optimus Prime armor He-Man, Man-At-Arms declares they now have a fighting chance, and He-Man rallies them with, “Let’s roll out!”

On page 6, at Snake Mountain, Skeletor proposes an alliance with Scareglow, promising that with Energon from Castle Grayskull, they can conquer Eternia—Skeletor will claim the planet while Scareglow gains the souls for Subternia. Scareglow agrees, and Skeletor uses the power of Havoc to transform him with the abilities of one of Megatron’s most dangerous Decepticon soldiers. The transformation completes, revealing Scareglow in a new, powerful form in Starscream armor, as Skeletor declares they will now reforge the entire universe together.

The figures are also up for preorder on Target’s website and Mattel Creations (check stock status after the jump):
