I've been wondering the same thing lately. Time to get some OT in at work!

^ That is a sick, sick price. But considering it's eHobby I'll forgive them a little bit.

Well, it does look badass, it's not quite as badass as most other Nemesis Prime/Black Convoys, and I just can't warrant spending the money. Plus my general rule is that I buy black repaints of the molds I don't like as regular Primes:

RID Scourge (of course)
Armada Nemesis Prime
Alternators Nemesis Prime
Alternity Black Convoy

All figures I don't own in their original color schemes. Though I'll break that rule if they ever release the Henkei Black Convoy. I'd much rather see and own that than a Masterpiece.

And I still need MP Grimlock. :mrgreen:

Not really what I had in mind when I said reasonably affordable... Pre-order is in, but there's a good chance it'll be canceled. But I figure it's better to have a place in line while I think about it...just in case.

That's not a bad price, for how exclusive, big and heavy it is. Out of my budget for now, but still not a bad price.

I wonder if Seibertron would be interested in an article on Nemesis Prime, Black Convoy, and black repaints in general. :wink:

Pretty cool looking.

By the way guys, would anyone agree that a Nemesis Prime repaint of Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Buster Optimus Prime would be great? Complete with mouthplate?

by **I want to be prime** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 10:28 am

I am not normaly a fan of repaints unlessits the seekers,sweepsor cyclonus but I might just get this.

I put in my pre order with BBTS. Is this e-Hobby Exclusive? MP Convoy Black costs $100 less than the online exclusive MP Grimlock.

News Credits: 3 · by **Kibble** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 11:20 am

FWIW: BBTS has dropped their price to $149.99.

CP I was thinking the exact same thing. :lol:

If it had a Con logo I'd get it. It's a pass for me.

It is (and so is $149.99) considering how much MPs Convoy and Ultra Magnus costed... it's not like it comes with any different accessories. But considering it's eHobby I suppose it can be a little higher.

If it's the most complete 'black' repaint collection in the world.....

by **Vegitron** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 12:56 pm

Another awesome figure! With all the new (repaints) Masterpieces, Alternity and Encores figure coming the next 6 months, I better stop collecting ROTF figures immeditiately. And return the rest!

Frackin' finally! Only took what 6 years? Would it kill them to cast a mould with a Decep logo on him?

If he had a Con logo and trailer i would get him. $154 for a repaint is a bit much considering MP1 sold around $130 back when he first came out.

Is this a legitimate release and not a fan project type of thing? I see nothing about it on Takara's Transformers website.

It's legit. E-hobby wouldn't do such a thing. Plus, it's on BBTS already.

I hope for some pics on the box soon, maybe a big MP box in e-Hobby style

It's more about the history of Nemesis Prime. While I do love my black repaints and I do have a great number of them, my collection is far from complete.
