You and me both

*reads bio* HOLY COW!

This guy's a beast! So, he's a different guy from Movie Optimus and not just a black-colored OP?

woah, just read the bio, DAMN, that is amazing!!!!!

that is a nice looking figure, why does japan get all the good repaints?

I would be all over this repaint if the gold were replaced with teal. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't a proper Nemesis Prime/Black convoy. Why didn't they just use the paint deco that the Cyberverse figure is going to use?

Cool bio, but horribly translated. IUs the fig the final product as well? Looks kind of custom painted to me.

Another black prime...

I wonder if some comic book artist decides to make a blue Megatron and call him "Aquatron" would Takara start repainting every Megatron mold blue and get rich again ???

Well, there's also United Darkside Optimus Prime and United Darkside Megatron.

Like DOTM Darkside OP, United Darkside OP is also a manifestation of G1 Optimus's dark side.

In United Darkside Megatron's case, however, he is a manifestation of G1 Megatron's insanity.

In United Darkside Megatron's case, however, he is a manifestation of G1 Megatron's insanity.

So he's basically Galvatron.

Kinda, yeah. Even though he exists as a separate entity/person from Megatron.

Not time-traveling, but dimension-hopping instead.

Sweet redeco. It's almost as creative as Optimus Prime himself, but why change a winning team?

Like Batman and Owlman in The Brave and The Bold cartoon?

That Matrix in his chest is so cool!! and that bio is a winner i would of liked him to have a sword instead of those blades myself but whatever another out of reach exclusive at the moment.

He will be mine with any luck .

Kinda, yeah. Though, I think this Darkside OP hails from the same world as Movie OP, since he was born from Movie OP's darker side.

Wait...so now I'm confused. This Dark Side Prime is from the Movie-verse right? If that's true, what universe is he in at the time of this bio? Like did he leave the Movie-verse (Tyran) and go to the G1 universe (Primax)?

He is from the same universe as Movie Prime, having been spawned from him. He just has a device in his chest that let's him dimension-hop. He seems to be going after Movie Prime first, so he'd have to still be in Tyran.

Nemesis Prime is to the US as Darkside is to Japan. That's all I can say, the principle's the same. Yummy English Blend...
