I hope I’ll be able to get this one, unlike Rodimus… :-(

I knew that I would like it...

Now the problem is buying it when it is released.

Who wants to bet he’ll be in Classics series Universe packaging?

Not great, but not terrible.

I wonder if we will get him as a store exclusive here, just like Alt Hot Rod and Nemesis Prime? :grin:

That's not Nemesis Prime.

It's Scourge! :P

$20-25 and available through HTS?

I might have to snatch this one up, especially since I missed out on RID Scourge back in the day.

Those two standing next to each other make me want them so bad. I wish my brother still lived in San Diego...

Nemesis Prime + Evil Optimus = Pure Awesomesauce. =P~

If I can't snatch him online at HTS, I have a friend going to SDCC, and he can get one for me.

Makes me glad I live in San Diego. :)

I'll do my all to get this bad boy - though the line control at last year's con was a motherlovin' JOKE. You needed a ticket to get into the line, and you just had to hope they weren't sold out of what you wanted when your ticket group was assigned to enter...

Hopefully, it'll work better this year. I plan on racing to the Hasbro Toy Shop first thing on Preview Night. :)

I like this one better than Botcon Prime. Now let's see if the fun and games that happened previously repeat themselves... :roll:

When is SDCC this year??

I hope this will be available on the Hasbro Toy Shop, I really like this mold and want it with this paint scheme.

Come on, we all know that it wont. Who gives a crap about shattered glass bots! And that right there is the problem with last years fiasco, people actualy and rightfuly wanted those :roll:

Who am I kidding, I always wanted a complete set of Primes frome red to white to purple to black and if they could pewter :P

Just like the G1 seekers! A rainbow of colors.

We can build a council of Convoys/Primes!

I like it. Not enough red on him though. If only I can get him. I hope BBTS gets a pre-order for him or something.

Posted by TFBuyer on April 20th, 2008 @ 10:04pm CDT
That looks sweet. And I'm sorry, the Botcon Prime looks like a sub-par kitbash sitting next to it.

I'll stick with Nemesis and pray I can find an evil Rodimus for less than my firstborn child...

Compared to Evil Zombie Prime, I think he's quite boring.

Also, his windows should be Red not Blue.

I like the paint job better than the botcon OP as well, but I can't deny the greatness of this mould, so I'll take both...

I just want to see some Stunticon love.

I hope they make a lot, so I can get one at the Hasbro toyshop before the year ends.

Posted by Kryptikore on April 21st, 2008 @ 11:06am CDT
Meh... Nemesis without his red windows just doesn't do it for me. I think Shattered Glass Prime looks better, but not to say if I ran across Nemesis Prime I wouldn't buy him for a reasonable price!
Re: SDCC's Nemesis Prime Pics with Evil Optimus (685160)
Posted by JaZzTaStIc on April 21st, 2008 @ 11:47am CDT
BUGGER.... now i don't know whether to use RID Scourge or this new Nemesis Prime as Motormaster in my Stunticon + Menasor kitbashs :(

this is a real pickle

The red lightpipe looks pretty sweet on Prime, but I still like the Botcon one better, it's just more original and iteresting to me.

Why does he have Autobot sigils?

Anyway, I’m looking forward to this very much. I don’t have too many rare exclusives in my collection, but he may be the first.

Looks good and I'll be at SDCC as well. Makes me wish I wasn't selling my Shattered Glass set but that will cover my BotCon hotel/rental car money and my airfare to San Diego.

If I can end up with this Nemesis Prime I'll consider it a wash.

Not bad but i'm not going to San Diego this year went last year. It would be cool to have the nemesis to go with my Evil Prime!

This pic is of a prototype done before the original pics you seen with Botcon Prime. I like how these were posted on another website saying "more nemesis prime pics" when it was an old prototype that the pics were of. :lol:

If the Nemesis Prime has red windows, I'm sold. Too bad I'll probably have to fork out on eBay though.

I'm such a repaint whore. I'll have 3 versions of this mold plus Ultra Magnus if that City Commander project proves affordable. Someone buy my Classics Prime please! :?
