For me since I can just ignore the alt mode's not exactly linking up as well as the battle damage decos being inconsistent with my cleaner figures I really like having my Siege Prime and Magnus go up against POTP Nemesis Prime who is pretty much my Siege Nemesis at least until my actual Siege NP comes.
The height differences between Siege Optimus Prime and Nemesis Prime give for an imposing image, like this isn't just a guy who copies Optimus look but he does it in way where he's bigger and badder then him, for me he's going to be Nemesis Prime on steroids.

In this form, he is still so ordinary because he is just beginning his life of villainy.
Reading this is funny for me comparing it to my head canon universe version of Nemesis.
Nemesis Prime, before the war he had a long career upon the Prime Council although back then he was Nominus Prime who was a pioneer for many advancements made to Cybertronian society, his achievements gave way for being labeled with the designation "The Grand Scourge" which was a title only given to the highest among the Scourge Barons which was already a title hard to come by and only given to those of royalty with remarkable accomplishments, his achievements were so great that when Optimus was knighted among the Primes his upgrades were designed based upon the base frame of Nominus.
Despite all the good he did Nominus was only in it for his own pride which pushed him to overcome "impossible tasks" and once he built up Cybertron to the highest high's he thought possible...he made it his next goal to bring it all down, after a mutiny which brought upon his renaming he alone covertly set up the start of a chain of events that would partially lead to Cybertron's downfall although his plan was complete annihilation of his species his plans were thwarted when the Decepticon movement gained traction, Nemesis did not join the Decepticons initially but instead operated as a rogue berserker who slew anyone he came upon becoming infamous as a powerful warrior who could not be taken down, after a fated encounter with Optimus which left him near death he formulated an obsession to the bright beacon of the Autobots, his new goal was to break Optimus by becoming everything he was but twisting it to his own vision before tearing down everything that Optimus valued, he sought out Megatron forcefully by literally slaughtering his way into Decepticon Command and threatening the leader for a place among his ranks, so Nemesis Prime was allowed to join the Decepticons but was placed in the low ranks, this was something Nemesis relished as he was allowed to work his way up the ranks once again in the new Cybertronian society. TLDR: Nemesis was once named Nominus and was the basis for Optimus Prime's design and not the other way around, he goes crazy and wants to become the antithesis of Optimus Prime and his ideals.
Which may be why they are still inflated. I wont discourage anyone from getting tho, if youre a Wreckers fan its pretty the definitive Twintwist. And if you like eye scorching 80's colors you cant go wrong with Misfire (Or any of the three updated Targetmasters really)

) and RiD 2001 Spychanger Scourge, but would like to own more. Not just any, the ones that "stick out" if you catch my drift, something the Siege one doesn't do. Like these:
