Jada's Self Transforming Optimus Found at Target + Video

I love the way it's packaged! It's hilarious! Chest puffed out, arms cocked at the sides, and the big words "TRY ME!" right there. I love it. Like he's egging you on to start a fight.

I kinda want it.

Anyone have the link to the video? It's not showing up here for me and I couldn't find it on Youtube.

Judging from the passionate discussion over the recently seen Velocitron Black Convoy toy, it seems there are a lot of Nemesis Prime redeco fans out there. Well, Jada may have something for you. They revealed on their website, today, the upcoming Nemesis Prime scaled at 1:24, with lots of images showcasing the non transforming toy at many angles. They definitely had some fun with this photoshoot. The toy is $29.99 USD and can be ordered right now off the site.

Below is the listing info, which includes a character bio, and the images

TRANSFORMERS G1 NEMESIS PRIME, 1:24 SCALE VEHICLE

It’s the dark clone of the Autobot leader, constructed by an evil genius whose only allegiance is to himself. Designed to be the ultimate military commander and made from pure darkness, Nemesis Prime fears nothing and no one. The legendary Decepticon wears a sleek black exterior with a chrome finish, and decals to match. Our 1:24 scale Nemesis is the destructive big rig you need. The dark side is where you’ll want to be.

GENUINE: Authentically licensed product from the iconic G1 Transformers franchise
CLASSIC CAR AND FIGURE: Inspired by the protagonist Deception, Nemesis Prime
ENHANCEMENTS: Crafted from durable materials such as 100% Die-Cast metal body and premium rubber tires
FULLY LOADED: 1:24 Die-Cast with detailed wheel rims, and opening doors

Am I crazy, or is the character art of Nemesis on that box the CG character model of Optimus from the Prime Wars Trilogy cartoon?

But this looks like a lame piece of merchandise. I encourage everyone NOT to pay over voyager price-point for a figure whos transformation involves ¨standing up the car to see a robot jammed underneath ¨ I don have much against merchandise, but It should be cheaper than an actual figure, not matter how ¨die cast¨ it is.

It's $30 so it is in fact cheaper than a Voyager. If I remember right these ones at this price point are pretty big, closer to MP-01 Prime than Earthrise Prime.

And really nobody should care if non-Transforming figures exist if they aren't preventing a transforming one from happening.

Still overpriced though. Don't know who'd actually buy this over a fully transforming version. Even though transformers are overpriced in general.

Anyone who wants a cool looking truck without a bunch of panel lines to stick on a shelf? Even the best Optimus Prime figure still doesn't look like a perfectly seamless truck (unless it's a shellformer like some of the movie Primes). I've got a few dozen Primes of every shape and size, what I don't have is a perfect looking truck so I do intend to buy a few of these.

Well...It's your wallet I guess

I have movie Bee and Crosshairs, and they are really nice. I can't wait to display them next to the ones I have in robot mode. These are very well done vehicle modes. And sometimes, the vehicle mode needs to be allowed to shine like this

Flatnose rules!

Is that Armada Megs in the top right?

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, BW Megatron, G1 Scorponok
Mirage, Wheeljack, Nemesis Prime, Nova Storm,
Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Red Wing, Acid Storm,
Rhinox, Airazor, Soundblaster, Battletrap
Cliffjumper, Spin Out


edit:
yellow Cliffjumper...should've just painted the face Orange and sold it as Hubcap
red Bumblebee... then that's Volks in my eyes
