And if we didn't have Hyper Novae, I could see a lot of kitbashers ripping the wings off of perfectly good Tigerhawks and Razorclaws to slap on this little guy and make him look more complete. Thank you Make Toys, for saving the Vok's emissaries.

I'll probably get this guy before saving up for the 3rd party one anyway. If all else fails, he can represent the Prime Nova of a some other universe just fine.

whoa!!! too bad the mold is smaller than classics bumblebee.
Also too bad the actual product will look nothing like the awesome looking art! I'm looking at you Botcon Devcon!

I like it!

I think it would have been nice to use the same head on different bodies to get the same effect (would still save on costs but not be a direct repaint) but I'm on board with the concept.

Oh, I am so on board for this. This is the closest to an official Nova Prime we're getting, so I'm not complaining. I can see an upgrade kit from third parties in the near future, and if they look good, I'll pick up a set.

Can't wait for next Thursday's reveal!

In the wake of the TFCC membership incentive figure Lio Convoy, we get a look at Nova Prime using the same Generations Orion Pax mold and the new headsculpt from Lio Convoy. This will be a club store exclusive.

...Seriously??? Why do I somehow feel so insulted by this offering? Granted, this is likely the closest we will get to an official Nova Prime, plus the fact that HasTak doesn't actually owe fans anthing, but...man I feel so underwhelmed. With the exception of the headsculpt, everything about him is underwhelming. Such an awesome and imposing character...reduced to the height of a small deluxe. Worst of all, he will be offered at 3PC pricing. Ouch. And I will not shell out $50 to $100 extra for a set of 3PC wings. Thanks, but no thanks. I am waiting patiently for MMC's Seraph Prominon.

It looks ok but I don't think that mold is good enough to make multiple repaints desirable.

Wait.. they're going to use the same mode twice in the same wave of figures? Ok. now that really is being lazy. I mean, seriousy, it would have been ironic if they had used the Laser Prime mode.

Everybody face the truth. It's lame.

Good. We need more non-Optimus Primes.
