After all the great MP and Encore news this week, this is such a disappointing letdown that they are recycling the same idea for a character that doesn't even really exist in fiction (I think it is mostly inspired by the RID/Car Robots Scourge being a black redeco of the Gen2 Optimus, leading to Armada copying the idea... and ever since then we've had the recycled idea of having a black redeco of Optimus - mostly from the JP side of the toyline though).
It is so expected, it would have been a better thing if they confirmed that they weren't doing a Nemesis redeco, or were giving us a new redeco deco entirely.
It just seems so lazy.
At least FunPub gave us something new with a purple Optimus for their redeco (from the Mirror-verse).

I reckon a shatterglass purple version would of been a better choice considering the use of mp-10's mold.

Dependant on pricing, I might actually consider picking this up in place of the local TRU MP-10 release, will have to wait & see though. ;)

Naw, I'd rather get a good Magnus with trailer armor as MP whatever-number-it-is, and leave the 10-Black/Sleep/New Hat versions as they are.

I don't mind HasTak doing the inevitable black repaints, people will buy them, it's an easy use of the mold that doesn't require new development costs, and hopefully that means the funds will go towards actual new MPs.

That said, I've got MP10 and RiD Scourge, so it's an easy pass for me.
