Courtesy of the Tag Hobbywe have our first images of Takara Tomy's upcoming black version of Transformers Go! Hunter Optimus Prime. A black redeco of the Transformer Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Optimus Prime with closed face plate, and apparently he's a Decepticon! Check out the new images mirrored below.

How is this mould to actually play with? Good/fun? I like the deco it's in.

He's a Decepticon? Wonder what his story is.

And what his name might be.

I think it's a good, fun mold. Good transformation and nicely articulated/posable bot. His guns/boosters and wings provide a lot of options for posing. I've noticed a LOT of customizers have repainted this mold.

I agree, though I keep my 2-pack one in Robot Mode most of the time, not that impressed with Vehicle Mode. The Hasbro version lacks paint in certain areas, the 2-pack one lacks them on the top of the windshields and the hilt of the Star Saber (but funnily enough, I'm not that bothered by that), but does have correctly colored side windows.

"Optimus Prime Black Version" or "Nemesis Prime"... Such a difference a name makes. That black repaint of Henkei Convoy pulled a fast one, may happen again.

Oh, man, I would buy that so hard.

Looks awesome. Now, how about Optimus Prime with a slavish show accurate paint job with face shield Takara and Hasbro?

There go my plans to divest my Prime collection.

Seriously... now I HAVE to pick up Beast Hunters Prime to go with this magnificent specimen. Hopefully I'll be able to conjure the funds for regular & black Takara versions.

Well damn, that is a fine looking robot. Of course, it had to be a Takara release. Now that I've discovered the joys of HLJ I may pick it up, providing it's not some sort of exclusive. Fingers crossed. Because dang, that is a fine looking robot!

Sold!!

Like this guy:

Black optimus prime sounds effing cool, simply coz it sounds like he's literally the black guy version, bitchslapping BB, and with a new mission focused solely on fembots. But nah, with the con symbol, its more nemesis prime, at least in name.

Yeah, which con won't recognize that typical truck and robot body, haha. Or which con would really believe he changed sides by his own free will. NO NO NOTHING ABOUT THIS SEEMS RIGHT AT ALL.

anyone have any idea how much this BH nemesis is gunna go for?

That head sculpt is sweet , wish they had put that on the original release.

Ok, you know what I'm calling Darkside here, right here and now!

YES! FACEPLATE! Buying.

Not unless Optimus just "claimed" to be an evil clone whilst undercover.

Ughhhh, paint it black and I have to get it. I don't understand

Anyone fluent enough in Japanese wanna take a crack at this:

MINE!

I read "Hunter Nemesis Prime". There's our answer. As for why, I also read "Black Legendisk" and "Hunter Optimus Prime", maybe the power of the disk made that clone?

I also read "Sanjou Gattai Transformers Go!"

If this were to be Nemesis, I wonder how/why the Black Legendisc would be connected to him since the same item made the Kuromusha and Kurojishi upgrades for Kenzan and Gekisoumaru, repsectively.
