Oh HELL yes.
So who thinks it'll be long before we see a Powermaster Prime version?

I dunno, everything looks nice, but the face still looks kinda too "heroic" for Nemesis.

Interesting that they've gone for an Animated feel with that big smile and bigger chin.

Something spectacular I won't be getting, simply cause SDCC was an exclusive, and then this is pretty expensive in it's own right.
Way to narrow the fanbase, FansProjects.....

They're already making one for Optimus, but it'll be in the Diaclone Powered Convoy colors.

Not sure I agree. Last time I checked, NP was still available on HTS.com. There are probably going to wind up being 100 NPs out there to every SC set. The fact that they're producing half as many tells me they're taking that into account.

The sword is nice but I'll just stick with my City Commander.

Cool. At least the head sculpt was changed. Already preordered it.

Awesome.. Even better with the new head. I have 2 pre-ordered.
Only improvement I'd still like to see is a swivel point for the trailer so the tractor can move independently of the trailer.

Personaly I saw more favor in the normal face sculpt for more of an evil Magnus clone. I'd figured this armor was for changing Nemesis Prime into Nemesis Magnus, not just adding more bulk to Nemesis Prime. RID Scourge never had a super mode and neither did Armada NP, so why give one to classics/universe NP?
Now I could go on and on about the whole magnus/nemesis armor thing, but these are just my own opinions. Plus the decapitation of my own Magnus armor has left me with a low opinion of fan made add-ons.
And if they really wanna do a Powered Convoy armor then once again I'll give a thumbs down, UNLESS they can find a way to have a blue and black Optimus to go with it.

I didn't think there was any confirmation of this. They had a mockup of both Powered Convoy and Shadow Commander at a toy show, but at that time, they stated that they were one-offs, and that they would not be mass produced. Then they created Shadow Commander...
While it's true that Powered Convoy was portrayed in their instruction booklet for City Commander, I hadn't heard any confirmation, one way or another, than it was actually going to be produced.

Agreed.
A blue Prime would be required for a true PC.

I like it a lot, and look forward to as much of this stuff as we can get.

I realize that this is a simple headsculpt but the mask and eyes look a little off. They don't look evil or angry.

That looks nice, I kinda want it more now but I can't aford anything at the moment.
Who says the head joint is week? Mine is perfectly fine it wasn't designed to go up and down just move sideways.

I really hope he comes with both heads. That will make it an easier choie to bash one into a motmaster like head.
