Courtesy of the HKTGF facebook page we have in-hand images of Takara Tomy's Transformers Go! Hunter Nemesis Prime. An impressive black redeco of the previously released G11 Voyager Hunter Optimus Prime with remolded head featuring a closed mouth plate. Check out the images mirrored below.

I need dis.

If only we could get that headsculpt in blue.

*sigh*

That is VERY pleasantly Scourge-y.

a great addition to any nemesis prime collection

Actually does the mold justice. Way better as Nemesis Prime than Optimus Prime.

C'mon Hasbro, you know you wanna release this domestically.

This guy comes from an alternate dimension.

So he's separate from the puppet Nemesis Prime in Arms Micron? Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I was hoping for a major plot twist on him!

I found out his identity from TFWiki.

Though, the guy who wrote the article did read the box bio to make this.

However, I did find this (very mediocre) translation among the rest of the Go! toy bios (Hunter Nemesis Prime's is at the very bottom). It has several mistakes (like calling the Black Legendisc the "Black Regency Disc" ), but gets the gist of the bio across.

Ahh Nice! Thanks for the Links!

Yeah, in the second link, those translated bios are only accurate "in a nutshell". They give a basic idea of what they said, but are very flawed.

Another day (for some of us) and yet another two galleries from Seibertron.com! At this rate, we're going to be spoiling you rotten. Check out below the full professional galleries for two figures that kind of cheat: Takara Transformers Go! Hunter Optimus Prime and its evil twin Nemesis Prime! Also included are comparison shots with the Hasbro Voyager Optimus Prime, showing off the main differences between the regular character (blue instead of green for the translucent plastic) and the evil repaint, with its red and black scheme. Click on any of the images for the full gallery!

Transformers Go! Hunter Nemesis Prime












Transformers Go! Hunter Optimus Prime

It's been a long time I said this, but I liked what Takara did with their version of Prime. They obviously gave him blue for the Star/Matrix Saber, windows, and eyes (as opposed to Hasbro's ugly green and yellow), better QC (though it could vary on some copies), and darker gray plastics (instead of the drab gray). All we need is the mouthplated head from Darth Vader Prime in blue and on Hunter Optimus (and spike removal, with show-accurate weapons), and you have a show-accurate Prime that people could have as the definitive BH Prime if they can't afford to get theirs customized.

i want this nemesis prime so bad

Maaaan, I wish I could afford the Takara versions of this mold. They look so good.

That Nemesis Prime Scourge Nemesis Prime makes me want to see a Sky-Byte repaint out of Sharkticon Megatron.

Great gallery as always! I wish the Hasbro release we had gotten would have had the clear blue parts from the Takara version. I will never understand why they randomly chose green over the show accurate blue for those. This gallery is making me want that Nemesis Prime really badly now.... I make break and take the plunge for him because the mold looks great in those colors and with a faceplate on the headsculpt

This is the character this mold was always meant to be.
