I am really tempted by Bee. Every TLK version of him needed that hammer. Shame this is the only one.
Strongly tempted by Nemesis too. I have yet to get any Nemesis version of Prime, and that version is killer.

Also, the deco on Hound is very lackluster.

Him coming in a 2-pack with Jetfire would make even less sense, considering he has a standalone release as well.
No, the high price must partially stem from his electronics, plus the extra accessories he comes with, like the knuckles, hand-held Battle Blades, and him being a hybrid of the standard RotF Leader (chest), Jetwing/Striker (forearms) and Ulitmate Edition (hands).

That's what I was thinking.... that "Revenge Prime" looks exactly the same, has the same items (minus the face ripping hooks) and costs MORE. He has to be paired up with Jetfire....william-james88 wrote:wait so does revenge Prime come with jetfire as a double pack? Because if not, then his price makes no damn sense.

But its the same stuff MB11 has more or less and his price was 2/3 the price. Once again, why buy this?

I think if you want the Nicest deco it might be worth checking out some of the other lines 1st.
I likely have 10 of Jazz's Mould already - I'm really struggling to look for a reason to buy another one.
The one I use the most is the G1 colour version - that one is really spiffy - Final battle Jazz is nice too. I also like Smokescreen.
Perhaps a more creative way to have progressed would have been to make the Human Alliance one in a Battle damaged deco.
Heck just make some more Human Alliance in general - Landmine for a start and Attack Mode Topspin then Jolt, and a 1960's Bumblebee.

Thank you now I'm hungry for jello megatron figure looks better to hasbro Figure with better paint job to make Figure

Lockdown with new head? Yeah, that one is indeed nice.
New part to "complete" Hound's vehicle mode? BRILLIANT! Too bad his paint job is so... plain...
And finally, dat Nemesis Prime... DAMN he's so tempting. Having gotten rid of all of my AoE Leader Optimuses, including AD-31, I am really tempted by this one. The ugly-ass backpack is no more, plus he have SOMETHING NEW to offer with that swell and unique deco. Let's hope the price will be somewhat reasonable.

The same reason they keep releasing MP-10 and jacking up his price every time. Because if you didn't buy it last time, then you'll pay whatever they demand to get it this time.

Not sure I want to pay over 100$CAN for that. Sure, the yen did drop, making importing from Japan more affordable, but there will be shipping and as you know so well, customs are random and can be nasty.
Will wait for either a sale or some video review.

Nemesis Prime should be black and teal, not Blue and Red.
Who the hell makes these decisions. Yes he needed to be on the poster
and look like Optimus Prime for false advertising since 95% of the movie is
stupid humans with retarted dialobue.
And people wouldn't recognize Optimus is he was black and teal and not go see
the movie because people are equally intelligent like the dialogue in this movie.
Prices are through the roof. Hammer looks good on Bumblebee.
Did we ever get that claw-grappling hook Bumblebee had in TF4?

Nope, although I did hodgepodge one together on my AOE Bumblebee with the plasma cannon he came with and some mechanical pencil clips. Actually looks pretty good!
Posted by shajaki on September 13th, 2017 @ 8:53am CDT
He's screen accurate. Why's that so hard to understand? I'm glad it's like that and not the other way around. If it's not to your liking, go but AOE Black Knight Prime. He ain't expensive either.noctorro wrote:Still annoyed calling him Nemesis Prime.

1:Voyager HFTD The Fallen. Would be cool to have a screen accurate version of this guy who isn't a weird blue color
2:Voyager AOE Galvatron. Would look great in silver, and a pretty good figure considering how he 'transformed' in the film
3:Deluxe TLK Barricade. I want him to be closer shade of blue to the one he was in the film, a new headsculpt would also be appreciated.
Probably an unpopular opinion with the first two choices, but if bloody Bonecrusher can get an MB figure then by Primus I want my shiny Galvatron!

The most notable differences are in the hands, and a newly sculpted head which improves articulation and better represents his appearance in the film...you can also violently rip off his face. He also has a command staff that previous versions of the figure lacked.

Totally on board with your Barricade idea. If he had the same cool head design as he did in the movie I'd have picked up the deluxe a long time ago.

All awful puns aside, I think I'm still going to buy this one. I'll paint the Hasbro one I'm getting this week and keep the hammer one in perfect shape.

Because in TLK, Nitro Zeus' head is taken exactly from DotM Shockwave's model. Bee's not saying they want Nitro Zeus as a Shockwave, but that they want a Nitro Zeus more accurate to his in-fiction appearance

Eh, I think the TLK one is pretty awesome anyway.
And who knows, maybe there was a TR Shockwave titan master planned that was the DotM Shockwave so you could swap heads, just like Thunderwing

In spite of having 32 Voyager Grimlocks already.... I do still want this one. He looks perfect, so whats his problem? He's got no backup. There isn't a perfect deco'd Slag, Sludge, Swoop, or Scorn. However there are full(ish) teams, which look great, but aren't perfectly deco'd. Ugh... the struggles...skywarp-2 wrote:Guys! I just got a look at the MB-09 Dinoride Grimlock with mini Optimus Prime figure! Holy crap that's awesome!! I must have it!! Takara!!! You guys sucked me in!!!

It's kind of a tough call, but I think I am going to get this MB version instead of the Hasbro one. The paint apps still aren't perfect, but they're certainly better than the Hasbro version. I'm really glad they added black paint to the vents on the sides of the Camaro, because there's no way I would've been able to paint them myself without messing up. The shade of yellow plastic appears to be more movie accurate, and there seems to be a slight angle to his arm with the plasma cannon in the one picture, so they might have fixed the problem the original had and make his plasma cannon work on his right arm. Of course, the hammer really does it for me, since I was planning on picking up a third party one anyways. I'm really not fond of paying that much for a deluxe, but I'm OK with buying just this figure.
Although that also means I won't be getting a deluxe Bumblebee for TLK until around 10 months after the figures first got released in the US

Another thing I have thought about a lot. Waiting that long.. for Nemesis it is alright, but for my Bumblebee? Eh. Though I did get the MP hammer, but are they planning to make one for the deluxe? can they? (I forget what kind of hands it has)

Yep! Although it shows it with the wave 1 Bee, it should work with the new one.

That's because Dragon's first language is not English for sure and he must be using Google Translate with mixed results.
Still in a way, he was kinda right. If ye can afford to have toy collecting as a hobby, we logically don't struggle to eat and pay the bills. (If you do struggle, set your priorities straight).
So when I "don't have money" for a figure, it's either because it don't interest me enough for the asking price, or I already blown my extra money of the month.
(Not counting life's usual roadblocks in the form of unexpected bills like healthcare or general catastrophe).
All that to say is do I "have money" or don't for that Nemesis Prime? Because I got rid of my AoE Leader Optimus and Even my AD-31 Optimus. Sure, that mold have the backpack improved, but will I regret the 100$+ I may pay for it?

In this post, we have the best look yet at the movie-verse toyline released by the Japanese company celebrating the Paramount and Michael Bay series of live-action films under the Movie the Best monicker. Included in the shots below, mirrored from the Snakas blog and Twitter user Masabon, are MB-16 Jetfire, MB-17 Optimus Prime, MB-20 Nemesis Prime and MB-19 Hound, all in robot mode, and in a group shot. Check them out below, and let us know what you think of these figures and the line!

-G1 Ironhide and Ratchet got no heads (yes, I'm fully aware of their Diaclone heritage)
-Gold Plastic Syndrome victims
-TFP Airachnid and her cheaper than RID line attributes
-Universe Ironhide and Galvatron are inexcusably panel-heavy or overly complex.
-Many Generations Leaders starting with Jetfire are simpler than they need to be (also no electronics makes the price even less acceptable)
-Beast Machines inaccuracies ahold
-Most Masterpieces after Magnus v.2 look naked next to their slightly more detailed cousins (like MP-10 or Prowl)
-Many Post-T30 toys get too devoted to being slavishly toy accurate unlike the Classics, Universe, and 2010-2014 Generations lines
-FOC figures are a downgrade from the WFC figures
While there are movie toys that I don't like (such as the one steps or Blazemaster), I heavily disagree with the comparison (almost sounds like favoritism to some extent).
