Um... I don't see much 'Night Watch' about this... Usually, the red would be replaced with a darkblue or something... If this 'Night Watch' Optimus was out trying to be stealthy, all the vehicons would fall over laughing...

Yeah, how is that "Nightwatch"? I can't even tell which one is supposed to be the Nightwatch one.

The only way to tell is that Night Watch has grey legs instead of blue, and he has twin blades instead of blasters as weapons...

Ridiculousness...

It's still cool to see a mold with his face guard lowered. I will mix one of his swords with my wave 1 figure so each has a gun and a sword.

Maybe ‘Nightwatch’ refers to the fact his headlights are now on?
Though I have no idea why his shins are alight...

The blades and head sculpt are nice and Primes noggin has a natural tendency to pop off during transformation as it is so a swap wouldn’t be any trouble at all but it does seem quite expensive for what is effectively a mod.

When I heard about this release a while back and saw some blurry early photos I was prepared to pick this up despite already having Cyberverse Prime.

Now that I see the sad lack of paint apps in these clearer pics I think I'll rethink that plan. That plain gray plastic visually robs the figure of its vitality.

What, did the tiny bit of silver paint used on the first Cyberverse Prime put the whole company in deep financial hardship, Hasbro? :BANG_HEAD:

I can't take credit as though I have sharp eyesight.

I read the little paragraph above the first set of comparison pics and then I was like, "Nice!"

If they were going to do a redeco, I wish they'd acutally redecoed into something seen on the show like Nemesis Prime or Orion Pax.

On one hand, I really hate that they're continuing the slight repaint of major characters tread.
On the other hand, I hope they continue the new head sculpt trend with Cyberverse.
