This companion piece to the Kingdom Ark looks amazing, and comes with 4 micro sized Decepticon Seeker jets.

I adore the ship mode, and the bot mode really grabs me too. There's one particular picture that gives a very Animated feel to the thing. I haven't looked forward to a titan this much before; and honestly I'm looking forward to it more than I have done for most Transformers toys of the past couple of years as well.

This one really has a lot more appeal compared to the Autobot Ark, the ship design is far more interesting. Of course they are restricted to the original material, so I guess that's the main reason.

I would say that because the Nemesis and Decepticon base was so simple in the cartoon, they can make the toy better. There was no Teletran 1 equivalent for example, just the shape of the ship.

All I can remember abut the Decepticon base was that there was a tube tower thing that would pop out of the water to allow entry/exit.

I do like they have the extendable ramp and little Decepti-jets as accessories and it oes look very cartoony. If Unlimited money/resources and space were available to me, I'd get one.

The Nemesis wasn't even the ship that the Decepticons used for their base. They constructed a new ship in the initial 3-parter of G1, that is what they used for their base. The Nemesis played a bigger role in BW Season 3 than G1.

The Ark also had to house Mainframe/Teletraan-1 as well as the robot mode having a passing resemblance to the Last Autobot. The Nemesis does have more creative freedom by no needing to house a secondary Transformer as well as having a completely original robot mode design. It's pretty much also why Cybertron Primus is a better toy than Armada Unicron; because both Primus and Nemesis only need to resemble a pre-existing design in alt mode but with the liberty of completely original robot modes. Plus coming later means that lessons learnt from their the preceding toy can be applied.

I'm really not digging the Nemesis's final robot design. I was open-minded when they revealed the prototype a while ago, but the paint apps on the finished one give it a very "IDW" vibe that clashes with the Ark and the rest of the G1 aesthetic they've been going for. I'm sure the Nemesis will appeal to some collectors for that very reason, but not me.
I don't really have room to display it anyway, so if I do get it, it will be from a sale.

Wow. I was not expecting that price. Both Amazon and EB have it for $30+ more.

I'd hope Amazon will match it.
