I want that Prime. Gahhh! Why is this guy so goddamn sparse?

[Seibertron]

Just an FYI for those of you interested. I paid $300 for the pair for AOE Nemesis Prime and Nemesis Grimlock, $150 a piece, including the cost of shipping. That price is absurd, but limited supply and sold out items dictate price unfortunately. The prices that they are at currently on eBay of $220 plus shipping is just nuts. Those prices make other convention exclusive prices look pretty reasonable!

[TulioDude]

The figures do look pretty cool and I have to mention,they have great bios.

[Nemesis Destron]

i have no need for a black and purple grimlock. to me theres pretty much either nemesis/black (reserved pretty much for primes) and shattered glass. and SG grimmy doesnt look like that to me.

Well, if Optimus can have an evil clone, why can't Grimlock too?

I heard that!

I so gotta get these 2 before prices get even more insane...'nuff said!

[shockblast2]

So, if Hasbro repaints any figure in black and turquoise deco, it is called nemesis whatever? And for what, a double dip on an overpriced toy?


I just read some of you paid $300 for these? This stuff IS like crack, as some of you joke. You are addicts, just in a less physically destructive way.

TakaraTomy does it too, in fact they've overtaken Hasbro in that department. The $300 tag can be attributed to 3 factors: Japanese, exclusive, and convention, in ascending order.

I don't really care for the Nemesis shtick, as it's too overused and diluted. None of them hold a candle to RiD Scourge (in my case, CR Black Convoy).

[Siger]

The heck is up with those prices? That Nemesis Prime doesn't even look that good to me. $150 is a huge Masterpiece's price, not for something like this.

[Sabrblade]

The heck is up with those prices?

They were only available at the Transformers Expo in Yokohama, Japan, and in extremely limited quantities. After the Expo was over, that was it. No other chances to get these figures aside from those who were actually there. It's one of those "you had to be there in person to get these" cases.

what about the $250 asking price for botcon scorponok? he aint an MP. its just the nature of exclusives.

Comes to my mind that meme with Woody and Buzz Lighyear: Repaints.. repaints everywhere

Repaints and retools are a TF trope since the very beginning of G1. They are cost effective and they sell like hotcakes. Repaints aint going away. Ever.

I lkie how dedication you have put in those galleries!

[Madeus Prime]

So goofy and lame but I still love em'!

[Va'al]

It's been a while since we visited this side of the Transformers toyverse, but Seibetron has just acquired two latecoming Power Attacker figures that just had to be shared with everyone! Check out below two new gallery additions from the Age of Extinction line, featuring High Octane Bumblebee and the contender for one of the best names out there, Chainsaw Thrash Vehicon!

The latter is the only incarnation of a character that was sort of seen in the movieverse, if not the last film specifically, and comes with chainsaw splitting gun action, while the latest iteration of Bumblebee features more or less the same body as the Generations Deluxe version, with spring loaded cannon gimmick. Click on any image for the full galleries, as always.

[Autobot032]

EDIT: Double dammit. I had it all typed up and ready to go in the console.

[megatronus]

I would love a proper movie-style Vehicon that wasn't Crankcase.

[Deadput]

That Vehicon is really cool looking despite not being a proper deluxe



Is the Vehicon scout size or Deluxe size?


Here is the card art for him

[Tresob]

That Vehicon is the spiffiest power-attacker they've released. Almost tempting.

[Sabrblade]

Is the Vehicon scout size or Deluxe size?

Small Deluxe size.

How about articulation?



I understand that the left arm has no elbow but what about the rest of the limbs?

Ryan's gallery pics should demonstrate the toy's extent of articulation.

[PrymeStriker]

All toys named "Vehicon" in any variation since PRiD have been blessed with looking kick-ass, no matter the size class.

[Noideaforaname]

That Vehicon looks not awful. Like he could maybe stand with the regular toys and not completely look out of place.

[BERSEKAEL]

if these were half size (legion) would be an instant buy
