The Primadons

The Primadons in the Heroscape Universe are the most technological advanced species, despite their ape-like appearance. Their armor is forged from Kiradium Alloy, the hardest known substance in the Heroscape Universe. Their weaponry has similarities to the Blastatrons suggesting that the Primadons may have “upgraded” the Soulborgs upon their arrival on Valhalla.

Primadon technology is the most advanced in the Heroscape Universe.

Toys

Primadon Sets that have appeared:

"Jandar’s Oath":
*Gorillinators Primadons wielding laser guns
(When Vydar had a vision of these agents, he was not sure what to think about these reclusive Primadons. He suspected that they were too primitive and lacking in the ways of warfare to be of any use in his army.

But Vydar took a chance on them, and luckily, he was proven wrong. The Gorillinators are more advanced than many others on Valhalla. The secret development of superior technology on Marr has given them awesome capabilities in battle: they can move at astounding speeds, overtaking enemy positions in minutes; they can use their ranged attacks to neutralize any threat; and their body armor is made of Kiradium alloy, which makes bringing one of them down a daunting task.)

"Crest of the Valkyrie":
*Laglor Primadon Standard Bearer wielding a harness and twin machine guns
(Primal instincts awaken. The beast within cannot be contained. Laglor's broad chest rises and falls; a faint whistle escapes from his wide nostrils as the Primadon pulls in a mouthful of air and releases it in a snort. His eyes narrow, a wicked grin spreading wide across his shaggy face. Laglor's mind recalls the stories of his youth, stories told by the Primadon Elders, of a time on Marr before the Marro infestation threatened to snuff out all other life on the planet. A time when the Primadon's growing technology was used for the advancement of peace, rather than just the preservation of it. Laglor can contain it no longer. With a guttural howl he leaps high into the air, letting loose the beast within him. His thick arms flail, grasping at hanging vines. Snatching one out of the sky, he swings low over the swampy terrain and uses his right foot to grab hold of the skull of a Marro Stinger. Releasing the vine, Laglor soars through the air, catching hold of a branch which he nimbly pulls himself up onto. With a quick twist and snap, he disposes of the Marro Stinger and tightens his grip around the trigger handles of his autoloader, using it to fire down upon the swarming Marro that enclose Vydar¹s agents below. Looking up, the agents see Laglor bearing the mark of Vydar high above. Using the distraction he has created, they regroup and take aim upon their enemy with a heightened precision and range.)

Trivia

* The Gorillinators are described as “Agents”
* Two of the Gorillinators weapons resemble the Blastatron’s weaponry that was released later.
