More like, "We already have an Optimus toy, what do we do with the Power Attacker to avoid duplicate characters outside of Grimlock?"

Don't legitimize their horrible toys.

This is sure to be popular among 5-year-olds who collect repaints.

Wouldn't be a repaint to Japan, as they never got the Power Attacker Optimus in some form until now. They did get the One-Step as an exclusive.

My point is that it doesn't make much sense to take a toy designed for pre-schoolers and give it a paint job that appeals to collectors. The audience for one-step changers probably don't know who Nemesis Prime even is. It's a strange combination. Then again, Japan is a strange country.

Full name is "Battle Attack Nemesis Prime".

I like me some Nemesis Prime repaints, but this one I think I can skip.

So wait, he has 4 arms? 2 of which just sort of sprout out of nowhere for the gimmick attack?

And yeah, it's weird making a collector-orientated version of a kiddie toy.

This figure is no different from the decos of the other Lost Age Series toys.

Or from any other general retail black repaint, like Armada Nemesis Prime (Scourge was exclusive however) and Arms Micron Nemesis Prime.

How would pre-schoolers be familiar with Nemesis Prime? Was he a featured character in TF Animated or Rescue Bots?

This is the main line in Japan. Lost Age Series. The Movie Advanced Series is the secondary line to this one in Japan. And practically all of the Lost Age Series toys have premium collector-aimed decos with metallic paint and everything.

And how would preschoolers in Japan even know about Rescue Bots anyway? Or Animated, for that matter, since that one might have been before their time over there.

No, not solely Power Battlers, the entire Lost Age Series line contains molds from all of the simplistic toys: 1 Step Changers, Power Battlers, Flip & Change Grimlock, and the Takara-made Battle Command Optimus Prime.

Those toys are the ones being marketed under the name of the movie, while the Movie Advanced Series is the other line for the Japanese that contains the AOE Generations molds.
