A new Transformers listing has appeared on Amazon.com. The listing is for a Transformers Movie Leader Nightwatch Optimus Prime. There is no picture with the listing. At this time we have no information about the figure or if the listing is a mistake. Check it out for yourself by clicking here.

Could this be the inevitable Black Prime

If so the question begs, will he be evil , or looking for stupid nucleon

[Barricade]

i'm getting this one

Looks like a stealth mode for Optimus. Sounds cool. Here's what's further down the page:

OPTIMUS PRIME® prefers a straight forward battle, in which opponents can look one another in the eye and know that what they do is for real and forever, as adversaries should. When fighting an enemy as deceptive as MEGATRON® however, he knows that more subtle tactics are often called for. His stealth mode is designed exactly for such situations. The darker colors are sensor transparent, letting him slip in unseen, often even directly under the eyes of DECEPTICON® guards. New servos in his joints move him silently across the ground, and sophisticated hand-to-hand programs let him take out enemy troops without a single pulse from his Ion Blaster. Get ready to rule the universe with this awesome OPTIMUS PRIME figure that features Advanced AUTOMORPH Technology! This TRANSFORMERS technology is designed to enhance vehicle-to-robot conversion with partially animated mechanical triggers that activate the final shift to battle mode. See armor slide to protect vital points! Flip down the Ion Blaster in robot mode to launch the projectile! And press the button in vehicle mode for electronic horn sounds and lights! This is one impressive figure for your collection.

But good grief, if you got regular movie Leader Prime, then Nightwatch Leader Prime, then the rumored G1 repaint Leader Prime, you'd be spending over $120 just for 3 figures! Man, my budget could definately NOT handle that. I'm seriously gonna have to pick and choose.

Looks to be a black leader class Prime by the description. Specifically the Lights and Sounds bit.

A dark Leader Prime should look rally cool. Looking forward to it.

[Jaz-Zen]

It says electronic horn and sounds, so sounds like Leader class to me.

Interesting... a future conventions Nemisis Prime perhaps?

Not if Amazon's listing it. Amazon only lists general releases, not convention exclusives.

[dragons]

probably wont be getting it since i allready two differnt versions of movie prime but after images appear it will help me make my decision easy cant spell today ill just wait for images to decidei if im buy it or not.

[Robinson]

It says darker color so not necesarily all black, could be a maroon or deep red and dark blue or black type of paintjob

[Roboto750]

I agree with the majority here, here's comes the black Prime! Of course, if it's not black, it'll be one of those really bizarre color schemes....

[Autobot032]

I love the Leader Class mold, one of my favorite all time figures, but no thanks. I'm not spending that kinda dough on the same toy, let alone a cheesy repaint.

Remold perhaps, paint, no.

[--B--]

Damn, all these figures are going to get soooo many repaints.

mo repaints mo money. they dont care about us they just want our money.

[Asderiphel]

Ninja Prime sounds awesome, but unless he's the best redeco ever, I'll have to pass. Though...I wonder if Leader Megatron will get a redeco?

[Roboto750]

I hope to Primus that Hasbro doesn't make movie Galvatron out of Megs! That would suck and wouldn't make sense on so many levels...

[Duo Prime]

If it looks cool enough, i'll buy it. I really like this mold. I just really want them to do a G1 repaint.

I agree, cause I don't think replacing gray with purple would make anybody happy. I was thinking more along the lines of the Night Watch Prime...darker grays, black, ultramarine blue and maybe replace those hideous pink spikes with a more manly color. Crimson would be a good choice.

I'm sure they will

Which part of this was meant to be worth reading?

I simply can't imagine any company who would want the public's money!

It would be...

INCONCEIVABLE!!!

[Superginraix]

Hmmm... sounds kinda cool.

Granted, I haven't bought Leader Prime yet, so if I wait too long this might be the version I head home with.

Now I just want to see the Barricade Deluxe figure repainted in State Trooper colors as Prowl. Yes, State Trooper colors. I know that's not a traditional Prowl look, but I'd feel cheapened if all they did was invert the existing colors.

I have no idea about Frenzy though. Maybe some remolding here and there and a new, less menacing face for Prowl...

actually my wal-mart Has Leader Class Prime for only 29.99, so overall its 90.00 for 3 figs, leader class with great detail and design, shoot that beats the Price on masterpiece Prime any day of the week..not that I don't like MP prime.. just 3 for the price of one, and they are all different decos!!! nice!!!

Edit:

However, I would love a fourth option which would be to see a recolored Target leader Class Robovision prime, in Super metal finish, as well as the Megatron leader Class in Super Metal Finish!!! well worth the money for those, I loved my Robovision voyager Prime, I always thought, why can't they do it in leader class?? I liked Robovision so much so, that I didn't even open him, just set him on the shelf as is.. he has such a sweet packaging..why mess it up? Also i never understood why they made Megatron's Face in Black, I mean i want to see the detail in there with those fanged teeth!!!

[Jaz-Zen]

Yeah, it would be cool, as well as more affordable, to have voyager Prime repainted in G1 colors with super metal finish, as well as a voyager sized Nightwatch Prime.
