    Looking nice there. In the first pic, the colours of the arms look too busy (red and teal crashing) thanks to the visible kibble. Loving the second pic.

    Still undecided if I prefer him to more low-key Classics Nemesis Prime....

    Lame, no Autobot logo makes this a pass. I already have a NP.

    Yes. That was their intention.

    If you were at all familiar with Nemesis Prime, you'd realize they're quite different despite following the same basic premise.

    He is in disguise! This is Infiltrator Optimus Prime according to the info from TakTom. Trying to appeal to everyone I guess :D 

    Also, according to Mr.Yuki's tweet, Wonder Festival Henkei Black Convoy was cancelled because his deco was too similar to Hasbro's SDCC Classics Nemmy.

    Thanks for the explanation on the differences between SDCC Nemesis and this one, guys! I wonder how this deco would look in Shadow Commander. I am assuming, probably nice.

    I hope more people decide not to get it..would love to be able to pick up another one on clearance like I did with the WFC Darkside Prime. There's always the Kotoys wonderfest Konvoy and who knows...maybe CHMS will re-release the wonderfest ko for all the unhappy people. If you don't like the con logo's cover them up with a repro label.

    :lol  yeah I suppose so! ^_^

    oh the irony.. if only that decision had been reversed! @_@
    this feels alot closer to SDDC Nemesis, IMHO and in agreement to Automorpher's too..

    Now THIS is the true Nemesis Prime.

    I'm gonna consider the SDCC one as an updated RID Scourge.

    Yeah, because this one has red windows, like Nemesis Prime. Whereas the SDCC one has blue windows, like...um...waitaminute.... :sly:

    This Black Convoy looks much better than SDCC Black Convoy

    You forgot all about Quicky! :eek: 

    :lol 

    *Dilemma*

    I'm imagining this United Black Convoy to be...

    The Fallen!

    We've not gotten a CHUG version of him yet.

    It's neither Nemesis Prime nor Scourge, but it is Beautiful!

    Wait...is this Optimus disguised as a Decepticon or a Decepticon disguised as Optimus? If this is Optimus...then all he needs is an Autobot rub sign. That would explain the Decepticon tampos.

    Disappointing that it doesn't look closer to the original prototype. I guess this won't calm my OCD after all. Sigh.
