I assume Lug/Cab can just hang out in the ladder bucket it vehicle mode.
That's... actually not a bad idea.

Doesnt seem
* shortage of 'Limb-bots"
* Deluxes get a single weapon. ie, Dinos get a sword OR gun, etc...
* Despite numerous examples of what fans come to expect of our getalts (3rd party, Combiner Wars, etc...) we still get weak saue & incopleteness.
* only 4 waves?!

And, no, not in Power of the Primes, at least.
Frankly, I don't expect to see this mold used by Hasbro again anytime soon since the current brand team doesn't seem to really care for Beast Wars, and the only real reason that they made this figure at all was because the character won the fan poll.

Don't you think they would do some kind of redeco just to squeeze a few more bucks out of the mold? Seems like a waste from a business standpoint.

Well, Orion/Optimus isn't getting reused either.

You'd better believe there will be a "Nemesis Prime" repaint of PotP Optimus Prime at some point in the future, even if it's just a Takara Tomy exclusive figure. Japan can't say no to a black repaint of an Optimus Prime mold.

Nah, Rodimus Unicronus will fit that niche rather nicely.

Was it that he didn't like a lazy repaint of prime? That he didn't exist in g1? (if I'm right was the first nemesis prime scourge in car robots?) Not liking beast characters is one thing since that's still an issue with the fan base at times, with its detractors being much louder than others. But this seems like hating a repaint for little reasonZeroWolf wrote:What would warden hate about nemesis prime though?
The first evil black Optimus redeco ever was BotCon 1996 Onyx Primal, while the first one to appear in fiction (as evil, since Onyx was rewritten as a Maximal when he finally appeared in fiction) was Copy Convoy from Beast Wars Second.ZeroWolf wrote:(if I'm right was the first nemesis prime scourge in car robots?)
