I wonder what the quality control's going to be like on this one though.

[iceburn]

if its from e-hobby, then they should have better standards and quality control wouldnt they??

[Gutsman Heavy]

snore

E-Hobby toys are still made by Takara Tomy;)

[Adzma]

I was wondering when they were going to get around to one of these. I'll think about it, but it'll be the fourth version of that mould I have, and he takes up shelf space.

[SentinelPrime]

looks great but I also will pass on this.

[Linthart]

Ha first thing I thought of when I saw the announcement was blackie and his custom. I wonder which one will be superior?

[sifun]

must get it.

[jaydisc]

Perhaps it's my lack of interest in most fiction, but I just don't get the whole Nemesis Prime thing, especially at this price point. Easiest pass in ages.

Does it at least come with a new hat?

[Doubledealer]

Darnit, Shattered Glass Prime woulda been better. :D

[hanprimus]

I'll get it if it has a nice box. :p

[k.wong23]

fully sick ill pick it up when im in japan later in the year :)

[Robzy]

Looks great but not interested!

Although I suppose I could use it to re-enact Prime's death scene from TF:TM :p

[heroic_decepticon]

meh. boo. hate them for milking molds.

[Linthart]

Had anyone found it for pre-order anywhere except bbts?
I placed an order just for giggles and incase I don't have any other options.
Expected Q1 2010 so always have heaps of time to cancel

[reillyd]

You've obviously never bought e-hobby before, no?
Anyone else remember E-hobby blue ravage and lazerbeak? Or been burnt opening it MISB

Nemesis Prime really isn't a fiction thing, it's a toy thing.

The first 'Nemesis Prime' was Scourge from Robots in Disguse, and that was an interesting character and not just a repaint of the current Prime toy. The second Nemesis Prime from Armada was where it started to go wrong, and the others have really just been black Prime/Convoy toys with the occasional appearance in the fanfictiony things like the Collectors Club comics.

[griffin]

Armada Nemesis Prime would have to have been one of the shortest Toy cameos in TFs history. It appeared for like a few minutes in one episode.

The most used/developed NP character would be through the Universe/Club Comics. That's the character that the JP story universe has more recently been using (like with the Black Convoy).

[Golden Phoenix]

Armada Nemesis Prime is still a kick ass toy. One of my favourites

[roller]

the whole evil black optimus thing has been done to death

[SentinelPrime]

bring on shattered glass optimus

[Adzma]

bring on shattered glass optimus
I fear the mould will disintegrate before then. You can see from the pictures that they haven't fixed the deformed cab-chest thingy.

[TheDirtyDigger]

I can't find threads on this guy but he's on his way. And am I just telling people something they already know?

How cares about Takara's Black Convoy, why isn't Hasbro releasing Masterpiece Nemesis Prime?? ;)

[Kyle]

It'll be next year's SDCC exclusive!



Just kidding... :p

$104.90USD for pre-order at RK (http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/eshop/main.php?action=details&CatType=&II=TFTRMP01B&lang=us).

How bizarre, they haven't marked-up the price. They're charging an extra $100 for Grimlock MP-8X. :confused:

[Lord_Zed]

I like the repaint, but not sure I need 3 MP Prime moulds.

[JuzMel]

An easy pass for me too... I couldn't even be bothered getting MP-02 cause it's just a repaint of MP Prime and now another repaint.. :rolleyes:

Might be cheaper to just get another MP Prime somewhere and do a custom repaint.. :p They didn't add anything new did they?

[GoktimusPrime]

Just to clarify: this character is NOT Black Convoy (aka Scourge aka Nemesis Prime) but it's actually just Convoy (Optimus Prime) in black! The toy is called "Convoy Black version" - he's still an Autobot, hence the Autobot insignias. It's basically a Masterpiece version of the original G1 Convoy/Optimus Prime black version that was a JafCon 9 exclusive. In the Gokiverse Convoy black version is "Matrix Death Optimus Prime." :p

Could the thread topic be edited to more accurately reflect this as "Black Convoy" is kinda ambiguous/misleading - I for one thought that this thread was about Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime until I saw the photo and wondered why it doesn't have a Decepticon logo.

[kup]

This thread should be renamed to African American Convoy! PC, people, PC :p

Yeah, I am bored and have been watching too much South Park :o

I was always under the impression that Nemesis Prime and Black Convoy were completely different characters anyway.

I will not buy this toy.

what do we think guys, im this close to hitting the button. wish RK wasn't pay upfront though. buttload cheaper than BBTS though.

[GoktimusPrime]

See here (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Black_Convoy_%28disambiguation%29). Either way, this character is _Optimus Prime_ (Convoy), not Black Convoy (aka Scourge, aka Nemesis Prime).

Powermaster Prime had red eyes and he was never evil. :) Although his eyes turned blue when he went on his Nucleon Quest and gave us Action Masters, now that's evil! :p :p


Megatron must have sabotaged the recharging bays in the Ark again.
That's... actually not too bad a fansplanation! Doesn't explain why his whole body's black, but otherwise it's okay! I personally still prefer my own fansplanation of black Optimus Prime just being dead. Maybe I'm just morbid. ;)

... because they were too cheap to even re-mold the Autobot insignia into a Decepticon one...

I'm sure someone will come up with a custom shoulder for mass production. I'd be a fairly easy switch.

Ehobby have updated their site with pics of the packaging.
