* AllYourPowersCombined: Primal's new body combines his alternate mode and flight powers with Prime's truck mode with the size being halfway between the two (somewhere around G1 Bumblebee).
* CameBackStrong: Once the trauma wears off, the presence of two Sparks in Primal's body causes it to get an upgrade.
