Hasbro's Nemesis Prime looks way better than Takara's overload of teal, especially better truck mode. Barricade looks really good too along with his nearly entirely black car mode. I can't wait to have all of the siege and earthrise datsuns.

:MAXIMAL:

Okay, I do not get what's going on here, but either everyone is really confused or I missed something, cuz hasbro's is the one with the vivid black and teal, tt's is the one with muted colors, you can tell by the color of the wheels who is who, but everyone seems to have them mixed up

If I ever find that Nemesis Prime in store, I may make an impulse purchase.

But Soundwave will be a instant purchase if I found him in store. I won't buy from a scalper though.

Takara's is the one with the teal con symbol, Hasbro nemmy has the purple con symbol. In the comparison photos, TT Nemmy is on the left, hasbro is on the right. This is confirmed by looking at stock images and the in package shot

Got it, someone said it was TT's netflix nemesis, forgot they did their own version that never showed up for sale #-o

I'm confused. We thought the snake in the new set was Giza, but in the PotP version the "bird" was Giza. If he comes with both then what's the snake's name?

In my head canon (since I'm going to have both figures) the TT figure is RID Scourge's newest body while the Netflix version is Unicron Trilogy Nemesis Prime/Grand Scourge (if you consider those the same characters, I do). So one is a Decepticon that looks like Optimus and is on sort of the chaotic neutral side while the other is a creation of Unicron that looks like Optimus and is pure evil.

Animated Skywarp = dark gray
War For Cybertron Soundblaster = dark gray
Siege Skywarp =dark gray
Now Earthrise Nemesis Prime = dark gray

This is getting ridiculous now. They're all supposed to be jet black. Why is Hasbro doing this? Is there a logical explanation why they can't just use black plastic?

I'm beginning to think that the red Slitherfang doesn't have a name ..unless that's the spoiler for this set

Fangtron.

Is that official? I've seen that mentioned elsewhere but it's not on the listings.

It's written on the box (in Cybertronian).

I NEED a G1 Barricade Masterpiece.

Please add a "To Punish and Enslave" reference on the doors though.

I like the look of Hastak's Nemesis. Takara's has too much of the Teal color imo.
Man I hope I can find that Soundwave, and I'll get Barricade too if I see him. I really dig those colors.

Is there a trick to reading Cybertronian? I know it's just a straightforward cypher of English but even looking at them side by side I can't make any immediate comparisons to Latin script, and the symbols all look similar, so memorization seems like an uphill fight.

(I say this as I teach myself Japanese)

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Praxiusprime77 has let us know that a new video review of the forthcoming Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Spoiler Pack #2 Nemesis Prime is now online! The reviewer is The Mr. Stan Show on YouTube.

This release contains Nemesis Prime (redeco'ed Siege Voyager Optimus Prime), trailer (redeco'ed trailer from Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Primes) weapons (from the Power of the Primes Amazon Exclusive Leader Class Nemesis Prime), Fangtron (redeco'ed Earthrise Battlemaster Slitherfang) and some Energon cubes. Also included is spoilers for the Netflix series, written in Cybertronian.

One of the big surprises with this set has been the incursion of Giza (the bird which transforms into a sword from the Amazon exclusive Nemesis Prime figure) as initial listings didn't picture him, which lead to speculation that the red Slitherfang was named Giza for this release.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

Will you be adding this Nemesis Prime to your collection? Have a place in your Nemesis Prime shrine ready? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I've got it pre-ordered twice! Once from Walmart back when they were revealed, and again from Hasbro because Walmart is Walmart and I expect them to simultaneously push back the dates on their pre-orders while they show up and possibly even go on clearance in stores before they even think of shipping pre-orders.

heh...heh..heh....Spoiker...

Frustrating case of first reviewer wanting to be first and not knowing about the toy or fiction itself... How ironic is it that someone who didn't even know this was coming is the first to get it. :roll:

Looks like he did some quick googling, but doesn't know that ER Prime is completely different from Siege, and there is no "Netflix Prime" (not yet anyway, its coming and will be the same as ER, just painted different).

I know what the cypher is, I was asking if there's any tipster to comprehension without going through it letter by letter. Like "the character for A looks like a lowercase a if you look at it sideways", shortcuts like that

To keep this on topic, I'm looking forward to Soundwave and Bumblebee from the next wave, I hope they start turning up soon. They're supposed to be next month, right?

Seibertron should trademark the word "Spoiker".

As far as I know the Deluxes are coming end of this month/beginning of next month, but here in the UK the Voyagers aren't due until December, not sure about the rest of the world though.
