Gotta admit it, that toy may be an expense I cant handle and should pass on but the deco is absolutely amazing! He seems worth the price of admission.

Sugoi!!! The paint job is amazing, and I dig that deep red on the sword.

Further proof of this being the best-looking version of the CW Optimus mold.
Wonder what else was on display at Super Festival 68.

I'm not typically a fan of Black Primes, but I do like this one.

Looks like we have an opaque red sword rather than a translucent one... I hadn't noticed that before. Interesting.

I'm looking forward to it. Would live to see the real grand convoy done as grand scourge instead of the little pla kit.

Not good or bad, just is.
I'm down for this figure, and have a preorder with HLJ. The gold bothers me in the context of traditional Scourge/Nemesis decos, but not enough to motivate me to pass.
Also, Motormaster is one of my favorite molds from Combiner Wars. So I'm happy to own a black Prime version (still haven't gotten regular Prime yet).

I have no issues with the mold (flaws and all) but the lack of paint apps and laaaazzzy Autobot stickers on the shoulders (Y U NO TAMPO?) left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Though Reprolabels did a pretty good job of remedying his issues.

I know. Not Black Convoy'ing up the actual Energon/Superlink Prime was such a wasted opportunity.Seibertron wrote:I'm looking forward to it. Would live to see the real grand convoy done as grand scourge instead of the little pla kit.

Sorry, that red sword looks really stupid. It's bigger than him. And the way it's shaped, it looks more like a small flag or banner on a pole than as sword.

Of course it's bigger than him, it was originally made for a bigger figure:
Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Beast Hunter Optimus Prime Gallery
Even the smaller version ended up for a bigger-than-Voyager figure:
Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Beast Tracker Optimus Prime Gallery
And in case you were wondering, it does resemble an actual shape of knife: a meat cleaver.

Which is why this toy is just so damn awesome. I love when weapons/accessories get swapped from different molds. I wish they did more of that to help differentiate mold usage.

That actually make me wonder: are the molds for the weapons completely separate from the main figure? In other words: when the weapons are cast, are there any other parts cast with it? Seems counterproductive, yet for exchanging it's perfect. I mean, look at:
- The MechTech weapons
- The Simplified Beast Hunter weapons being used for Movie Advanced
- The Weapon Giveaway promotions
With that, TakaraTomy is more able to do so for some reason...

That is interesting. My favourite example was when Hasbro's Predaking got Optimus' Star Sabre. And I assumed he got it because he was being manufactured at a similar time as the one for Voyager BH Optimus.

I really shouldn't be thinking of dropping the kind of money this will cost, but it gets prettier every time I see it.
Any word yet on names for the combined form or the guns?
I like the red Matrix Breaker sword, it reminds me of RiD Scourge's sword of fury, only as a ginormous meat cleaver.

The guns are just called "Scourge Guns". The combined mode is yet to be named, however if they're gonna follow the names from the original kit, it'll most likely be called "Grand Scourge Hyper Mode", mirroring "Grand Convoy Super Mode".

Thanks.
...Well, that's boring.
If they go with that, I'm gonna pretend Grand Scourge is the combined mode and the individual robot is just Scourge.
(I was considering "Nemesis Maximus", but it's way too much of a stretch.)

I don't care what molds they are, but I really hope that this guy gets limbs that look like they belong to him (deco-wise). Either matching his deco, or homaging the actual Grand Scourge components.

But what I wanna see is the CW Optimus mold redecoed in Grand Convoy colors, like this (ignore the limb-bots, the Optimus digibash is the main focus):
