Now I do like that. Goddam it, got the mold three times already. I wonder if I could paint my spare Magnus instead? :-?

Nah, my painting sucks.

Oh that's nice, though I heard Henkei was getting one with red windows. I may hold out for that one. I'll have to see what transpires

Much better than that nasty looking Shattered Glass repaint. I'll try ti get it unless it sells out before I get the chance.

"Nasty" isn't the word I'd use, unless it's in the positive way. It's a color scheme inspired both by Prime's original color scheme, as well as Galvatron's. But, as I said in an earlier post, this Nemesis Prime will do well as a minion of Megatron (Henkei) in my collection ... Nice packaging too; well-done Hasbro.

Gaaaah...I'm really hoping this guy and the Starscream Titanium are unpopular enough that they get into HasbroToyShop, I want them both badly and don't want to spend tons of cash on Ebay...

Do we have a known price on this?

News Credits: 2 · by **GreenLantern of Cybertron** » Thu May 15, 2008 5:32 pm

meh...
without the red windows and with the addition of those dark blueish legs he looks like Blandimus Prime to me.

no Nemisis Prime is better than RiD Scourge.

He'd have been far better if he was all black instead of that dark blue colour, and the two shades of grey they have used on his weapon/cab-top doesnt look too great for me either.

In saying this though I'll probably be able to nab him fairly cheap when he gets a mass release out here.

BLUE WINDOWS!!
that's bullsh@t.
he's no more nemesis prime than magnus is without the red.
f' that. this will be the first fig i haven't gotten from that cc in a few years. i WILL be getting the red windowed version if i'm going to go through the trouble of owning (which i am duh) it.
what a waste. that one might end up like 6" tit menasor did on hts.com for 4 months. and then on clearance at bbts. and then people couldn't give them away.

Yeah, I don't like it either. Should've been all black. I'll be looking for the Japanese version too, if it's not too expensive.

Titanium Menasor is on clearance? *runs to see if it's finally in his price range*

nice bot this one is the better looking evil prime much better than the first nemeises prime in this series

by **TheSoundwaveGuy** » Thu May 15, 2008 6:49 pm

Don't you just love how well they transformed him. Hopefully he sells as good as last year's Menasor

Mabye then I could get one

Uninspired. I want the Henkei instead. But I'll probably still get this one. I'm weak.

I really hope this goesu up on HTS, I really want this one.

News Credits: 9 · by **Zeds** » Thu May 15, 2008 7:46 pm

That does look better than the BOTCON version.

Man I hope these make it to HTS, I really want that.

News Credits: 7 · by **Geekee1** » Thu May 15, 2008 8:43 pm

I'm kind of meh on this one, don't know if I'll pick it up or not.

And I call heresy on anyone who doesn't like the Botcon Prime. He is freakin awesome! B-)

Seriously, if you haven't seen it in person it really is a great version.

The decepticon logos on the SDCC Universe release do it for me.

Someone has to have a realistic and accurate estimate on the cost of this figure, whether it's released at HTS or BBTS.

I will definitely get this, although red windows would make it that much better.
I'm diggin't the overall color scheme, and this is one of my very favorite molds.

like the past few years:
hts will charge 24.99 plus ship, and sell sometime around the sdcc, while bbts will charge double that, and maybe add a few bucks here and there.. and that's if you get the first preorder which usually sells out quick.
the other alterative is to preorder it from someone on ebay a month in advance, and usually pay like 40 bucks. i've done this the past two years, but have always had the chance to buy on hts during that time
and nemi/scourge prime is one of my favorite color flavors, and i love the classics mold, but it must have red windows to be complete.. or it's not nemi. all others do.. if not it falls the way of takara armada scourge (which didn't have the beige the armada nemi prime had)
and i'm interested in nemis.. so for me, it'll be ebay or bbts to go the way of that, since it is stated to be a japanese release
