In Package and In Hand Images of Transformers Siege Nemesis Prime

Looks pretty good. I don't collect the black Primes, but the colors are popping on this one.

Due to Takara sharing Hasbro's names across the entire Siege line, as was the case with Power of the Primes and all of the movie toylines.

It just says "Transformers: Siege" and "Nemesis Prime" in Katakana.

I really wish I had pre-ordered him. This mold really works for that color scheme

Fun fact, every optimus in the generations line so far got some type of black redeco, usually as an exclusive though.

I saw precisely one Rung, but no Rumble/Bat set, and those were the only ones from the last wave that I wanted. C'est la vie; I'm still hesitating on biting the bullet and paying inflated secondary-market prices for Titans Return Misfire and Twin Twist.

I scooped up Rung the minute I saw him simply because I wasn't sure how long he'd last in the wild and so far it seems I didn't need to be so jumpy. And oof, you picked two of the finer TR Deluxe's my friend Which may be why they are still inflated. I wont discourage anyone from getting tho, if youre a Wreckers fan its pretty the definitive Twintwist. And if you like eye scorching 80's colors you cant go wrong with Misfire (Or any of the three updated Targetmasters really)

All except for the Deluxe FOC Optimus and the two Optimus molds in the Cyber Series.

IIRC Rung is set for reissue in Wave 2 of ER.

Hey all, regarding the new Black Prime, am I the only one not really feeling it? I mean, it's a nice and fun deco on one of the best Optimus Prime molds we have ever gotten and yet it just feel so vanilla. Which is what I usually feel for the Nemesis redecos of MP Primes as well. Scourge was introduced, at least to me seeing him on the shelves, as his own thing. Sure, it was a redeco of Prime, but not of the Prime on the shelves. He felt like his own guy. Hence why I tend to like the redecos that bring back that feeling. The TR toy obviously did since it was the best homage to the original Scourge we ever got, and I feel we got that with the POTP Leader toy thanks to all the effort made by Hasbro to make him stand out from the sea of black Primes. And while there was only retooling on the face, I felt the redeco to the Beast Hunters voyager also felt like a nice Nemesis. I think he really owned that mold even more than the original release did.





How about you guys, which black redeco of Prime (doesn't have to be Nemesis Prime per se) do you like best so far?

If we're shifting talk to Nemesis Primes, I think the final word for him - for me - are the old Universe Mammoth version and the Legends one with TFC's backpack to give him an edge.
