I think it looks great. It seems like they're taking a page from FasProject as well with the extras for the repaint. The new head for the previous figure is a great idea too. If I'm able, I'll get him. Nice work MMC!

makes me thing the fallen more than nemesis prime

very cool, will be grabbing one

OO

Classic Loco FTW!

hmm, doesn't scream Nemesis Prime to me. I see the fallen but not a Nemesis Prime. Think I'm going to pass on this one

he looks more like The Fallen than Nemesis Prime
also i think Cyclops= Shockwave and Ultra=Magnus

I actually see this as my Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime. I picture the Steampunk'formers as the soot-stained monstrosities you'd expect of the Industrial Revolution, not the red, white, and blue comic book hero of the first release. It's a shame these are so pricey, but I've loved this sculpt for years and may consider this version.

"Joints improved by using POM quality"

meaning?

Yuck...I hate black primes. The guy who created this concept is my Nemisis LOL

Needs a top hat and a moustache. Then he can tie damsels to railway tracks and run them over himself!

I agree it looks more The Fallen than Nemesis. Those gold paints should've been teal. I'll pass on this one until they repaint it as Magnus - all white

Well that's a bit beautiful. The train mode looks stunning, and much more believable with the cast-iron look.

Want.

depending on the release date and price, i might be getting this. Considering it actually looks like an actual train now when in alt mode.

More like the Fallen than Nemesis. If I do get this version, he'll be the Classics rendition of the Fallen.

Indeed! I don't know of any locomotives that early that would have had so much paint layered over the steel, cast-iron, and brass they were built from. Some of the later steam engines got pretty danged colorful, but the early work horses would have been predominately black.

If they had given him the Autobot blue eyes this might have been my first 3rd party TF ever. Although, come to think of it, the extra head this one comes with, is it a traditional blue & silver Optimus Prime head? And if so, can it easily be swapped to this figure?

Ah, well, I'll never be really happy with a trainformer until they make a Southern Pacific Daylight (engine and cars) that combines into a single bot. Oh yeah, and give it HO scale trucks and a small electric motor.

I knew that they were going to fix the joint issues that 01 had. I'm glad I didn't jump then as I can see an improved reissue of KM-01 coming down the line like Fans Project's City Commander armor.

I would have bought this if it actually looked like Nemesis Prime...

I never picked up the original Knight Morpher and this one isn't gonna be my first. I agree that this paint scheme works better than the one in Prime's colors, it just isn't for me.

Yes, glad i waited for this guy instead of getting the original.

Definitely want.

Ha, I get it! When I read this post, I laughed for like 5 minutes straight. I am a tiny bit disappointed that this is like a Voyager-size, and not a Leader-class figure. Hopefully the next character in mind is either Megatron, Shockwave, Bumblebee, or Starscream. Really hoping for Starscream.

I might be interested in buying the extra KM01 head if someone buys this and doesn't have the first one. For a reasonable price that is.

Are these up for pre-order anywhere yet?

This mold is awesome and this one looks nice...tempting, but might be too spendy for picking up the repaint.
