Hmmm...

While I don't love that Smokescreen is just a Knockout repaint with a new head, it actually doesn't look that bad. And given that the details such as the 38's are probably decals on the Takara version, it would make buying him and turning him into a Prowl stand-in that much simpler.....

Yeah, that was my own notion... buy it and paint some black over the blue. Head looks too Prowl not to do it.

Nemesis Prime is supposed to be muted tones of normal Prime: Purple and Black (like Shattered Glass O.P.).

He's a Black, Red and White redeco.

Actually, Nemesis Prime is more of a dull maroon and black rather than the purple and black that SG OP is.

Fair enough. Either way, TT's Nemesis doesn't look a thing like him.

im looking forward to Nemesis Prime. he'd be my first Black Convoy, and i like his sword micron. hopefully that micron will be released as part of the AMW line

I can't stand it!

I love em!

I love em!

I love em!

I LOVE EM!

LOGICALLY, with Smokescreen's appearance in the show and Prowl's supposed appearance in the upcoming Jagex game, you would think they would create an entirely new mold just for them. But nope, this is Hasbro and Takara, where logic is tossed out of the window.

Uh, Prowl & Smokescreen are two different models. While bearing some similarities in the shoulder pads and legs, I have doubts Smokescreen and Prowl would look good together as the same mold in this particular universe.





I wonder what TFP Bluestreak/Silverstreak would look like. A hybrid of Prowl and Smokescreen?

I would actually dispute that. They in fact look so similar that the only thing that distinguishes them are their heads and smokescreen's lighter blue instead of black

[gothsaurus]

yeah, the little notch in their chest, angle of the lights... SO very similar. Guessing there may be another repaint on the way. (???)

Smokescreen also has a bulkier torso, different wings, a less blockier forearm, and the wheels are located elsewhere on the leg rather than the ankle.

Also, the wings are at a different angle and Prowl has shoulder missiles, but they may be adjustable.

You might actually be able to make a good-looking, show accurate Nemesis Prime if you Frankenstein parts from "AM-25 Nemesis Prime" (for the Legs, Forearm translucent plastic, and Head) and "Toys R Us Exclusive Battle Shield Optimus Prime" (For the remaining parts).

The dull reds and grays of Battle Shield OP will contrast really nicely with the bright reds and grays of the Hasbro Powerizer OP (and the molded on Micron ports will help differentiate the mold better). For added accuracy, remove the Light piping from Battle Shield and paint it/color it with a sharpie yellow,

Another bonus is that since TT uses stickers for detailing and symbols, you don't have to include the faction stickers on Nemesis' shoulders (as I'm pretty sure he didn't have any faction symbols, besides the Autobot logo on his grill).

I might actually do this.

hey, the knockout mold has not 1, but 2 ports on his back right? so what are the odds that you could stick the micron on his back and fold it out to make his ''wings?'' also, why didnt they at least remold his shoulder armor? knockouts firebender shoulders dont really remind me of smokescreen. then again, niether does that vehicle mode...
