Haven't really been interested in the original figures from the line, but he looked so good in those colors I couldn't resist. Might have to pick up Hasbro's deluxe now.

Thank you thank you thank you! I think I squeezed in the last order for Nemesis Prime at AmiAmi before they closed the pre-orders.

Maybe I need to take my aluminum bat down to the AmiAmi office and break some kneecaps. Unless it's because I live in America and you are somewhere in Asia...
The latest Figure King notes that Nemesis Prime is a fake Optimus Prime that Bloody Knockout has made.

You know exactly what I was trying to do there Sabr. I just loved that mistranslation. I love Loadblock's too

It also says Steeljaw on the box.
One is a two pack of Bumblebee and Steeljaw (previously called Steeljoe according to google translate)

Lets take a step back and see what I wrote:One is a two pack of Bumblebee and Steeljaw (previously called Steeljoe according to google translate)
Looks like I said everything as it really is.

That's true! That really seems like a weird decision in retrospect. The Go! toyline really didn't have much in it. Well I say that but the awesome repaints and heads for the predacons and the really cool Go! Prime sure were worth getting. Everything that was new and unique to the line was kinda dull though.

Beleive me I really looked into the combiners. I will be arsh here but I think they all suck really hard. And not in a pleasant way. First of all, I just hate combiners made out of 3 members where one dude just serves as a backpack. What is the point of that member? Just make Energon Power Links featuring duos. This will be far better. Also, the individual robot and beast modes. Good lord, kill them with fire. The overall combined mode look nice, but the flaws far outweight the good. My 60-100$ will be better spendt on Combiner Wars.
BTW, Railraicer have the same problems as the GO combiners. That's why I never bought the team. Even for cheap.
