New Images of Silver Chrome Classics OP / Convoy Figure

That's the mold difference between Optimus and Nemesis?

The silver just looks awesome!

Truly hoping this guy gets a wide release (perhaps at a higher price point, to offset the vacuum-metallizing). The coloring plays a double role... Not only is it a great 25th "silver" anniversary figure, but it allows them to recreate the Hate Plague Armor look for Optimus, that's something other than just "naked Magnus".

From what I can tell, there isn't any. Helped confirm Classics Optimus and Megatron were out back when I first bought Optimus, and from what I can see, Nemesis is just a repaint of that.

Notice the chrome on the left shoulder has a vague Decepticon symbol?

Ties in with the window colour to confirm this is based on Nemesis?

WANT ONE! And I'm not a big fan of the universe style primes, I don't like the cab mode 'bubble' on top, but it looks nice chromed.

That's what I was wondering. Otherwise it would have to be added to TF Wiki's Luck Draw figures list.

I think your right here. There is that vague decepicon symbol on the left shoulder.

So? From what I can tell on the figures I own, the windows on Optimus and Nemesis are the same color too, they just look darker on Nemesis because of the black behind the windows. And looking at these pictures, I think there's black behind the windows on this figure too (further supporting the idea that this might just be Nemesis chromed over).
