I didn't mean to imply that there was an insinuation that people should be forced to mod MP-01B, and I apologize for any misunderstanding.
It's just that from the first moment the news of this figure leaked, it seemed like half the people putting in their 2 cents were flustered because "Nemesis Prime" had Autobot symbols.
The outrage! There seemed and still seems to be sentiment that having a black coloured Convoy/Optimus Prime is somehow wrong if it has Autobot symbols.
Now granted that the online vendors were labeling it "Nemesis Prime" so that is just cause for confusion but at the same time, there was no official statement of the figure's name. Also, the fact that manga is being included with this MP figure, which is drawn by the same artist who created the manga for Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version/THS-02B, may very well mean that this is not an evil Convoy/OP.
The fact that there is effort in including fiction with this MP figure may very well mean that this isn't a simple "black is bad" repaint. If it is officially Nemesis Prime then included fiction isn't necessary, though a very nice bonus for comic/manga lovers. At least that's how I'm rationalizing this latest news of the MP-01B. As much as I am a fan of evil Convoy/Optimus Prime, I'd like to own an MP sized equivalent to THS-02B.
to be Evil/Nemesis Prime. I have left my Alternity Black Convoy and THS-02B the way they are and don't consider them Evil/Nemesis Primes. But
if given the chance to purchase an upgrade kit to mod the MP-01B into a MP Nemesis Prime I would jump at the chance. Others are more than welcome to leave their's as they are, it will not bother me one bit their MP-01Bs are Black Convoys and not Evil/Nemesis Prime. I think it's perfectly fine to think of the figure as either, it's a matter of
opinion.
