Rodimus Unicronus all the way. He is the better mold overall of the 2, and his colors are much more appealing and his head sculpt rocks so hard
What he said. The PotP Prime mold is lame. Even with the better color scheme and extra stuff, Nemesis Prime is only barely passable. I don't get why people are so obsessed with the figure and owning it ASAP. I kinda get TotP because of the Prime Masters, but the figure itself makes no sense without some canon backing it up. Just my opinion of course.
Both molds have their ups and downs but in different ways. UniRod is a tighter package in alt mode and NemmyP is more fun in bot mode and really uses the mold better than the standard release.
I do like Unicronus's origin better and his colors are cool. Nemesis is spot on for the character and I just love the evil Pax. NemRod is no slouch and and is dead sexy with the red windows and purple hightlights.
For me the extra's really put Nemesis over the top (especially the sword parrot that is currently posed on his shoulder) and I really wanted a Nemesis Prime in that size.
The evolution gimmick is equally fun in both, but maybe a little better used and more integrated feeling in Unicronus. Also NemPax's alt mode is kinda ass, but the battle trailer will all the extra weapons make up for it.
You can really go wrong with either. Depends on what you're looking for. Is both a viable answer? :flipacoin:
For the time I've given up on Thrones. I got sucked into the excitement the first time he went up for sale, but my interest has since cooled off. I didn't even bother this time and I'm going give it some time and think about it. Amazon.jp's pricing has me interested and there is always the fallback BBTS option (which I canned my pre-order with). I'd really like to complete the trifecta of black redecos but Thrones isn't an evil repaint and doesn't fit in with the others and all I really want is the PMs anyway.
