Very pretty indeed. That backpack ruins it for me though.

Want.

That is an awesome repaint.

That's one killer looking premium repaint :APPLAUSE:

I have the normal Leader so might get him if he's not to super expensive. He looks great.
I wish they'd do something with Nenemsis Prime in the next film.

I really don't know if i need this. It's a beautiful retool, but the red on the chest doesn't belong. I'll wait to see what HLJ prices him at.

I don't think it's going to be on there. it's a Japanese TRU exclusive. I don't remember HLJ getting the Nemesis evasion mode prime.

I NEED preorders for this!! but yea colors on the chest is a lil strange too.

I don't know about teal and black, but the last black Autobot Optimus Prime was Prime Dark Guard, without the teal:

Black-colored Optimus Prime.

even though im not a fan of these incarnations of the characters the toys look pretty solid. Wheeljack looks like he'd be a great figure to play around with, Soundwave is ruined by the backpack but he still looks interesting. This is why i miss the universe line, they could easily put these in there along with every other unreleased figure that we all wanted. Kill one steps & titans, bring back universe.

Since it's a "Black Knight" redeco, I gotta wonder if this is meant to be Optimus when he was a member of the same Knights as the Dinobots, who all received similar "Black Knight" (movie-accurate) redecos.

We all know this is really a Scourge / Black Convoy homage. Silly Takara. :KREMZEEK:

News Credits: 19 · by **Carnivius_Prime** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 3:12 pm

I usually find black repaints bland and unimaginative often concealing the details but this one looks very, very slick and the black is mostly on the already smooth areas with the other colours used for bringing out the finely detailed sculptwork. He's a fantastic figure to begin with and this makes a great variant.

Even though Black Lioconvoy started the trend, and the teal and black isn't limited to Optimus Prime either

I picked up Soundwave soon as I had seen him on Amazon. I wish I had picked up the DOM version, but that one seemed to be non-existent on any shelves. DOM was such a pain with all the final cancelations... (Probably because of the coupon abuse...) :HEADHURTS:

The Human Alliance Soundwave I had to order from China... :sad:

Which had taken so dang long to get to me...

DOTM Soundwave (Dx & Ha), Q, and Dx Leadfoot, never made it outside of Asia. That really suck because they are all great toys. Especially HA Soundwave. I bought mine for 60$ shipped when it was still time. No regrets because he's amazing and now go for a premium on ebay.

Ah I knew that about Wheeljack and HA Soundwave... I think I paid like $89 shipped for HA Soundwave. Which was about a little after I realized it was not going to hit the shelves...
