    I feel the Superion Addon is definitely the better deal. About the same amount of plastic(or close), and more engineering.

    I'll probably get it down the line but not now that pic of him having the weapon on his shoulder reminds of Sagara Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin.

    this is nice but not for 70 dollars. I like this but with so many other cool tfs comin out I have to choose wisely. DVD Black OP 250.00!! Expensive but its a figure not an add-on

    Said it before, and I'll say it again, I CANNOT wait to get the "Nemesis" version into Chromedome's/Fortress's hands!

    Does any one know if Omega Prime from RID can hold this? It'll be my only purpose to buying it. I'm not gonna spend 80 bucks (I'm from Canada) just to find out it won't work!

    Dunno what's all the fuss about swords anyways but yeah if it's $60 it's way too much.

    Well it's the MASTER SWORD (or the Matrix Blade for you new-fangled CarRobots RobotsInDisguise kiddies).

    Fortress's signature magic-weapon that allowed him to combine with his ship "The Maximus" to become Fortress Maximus. (The Nemesis version is a dead-ringer for the v.1 MasterSword)

    Grand Maximus and Brave Maximus (and by extension Super God Fire Convoy/ Omega Prime) also wielded versions. The Clear-blue one is probably intended as Brave Max's, and if you combined the hilt of the "Nemesis" version with the silver-blade of the "City Commander" one, you'd have a good stand in for Grand's as well.

    Ironically none of the PICTURED characters (except, arguably Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime/Scourge) ever used any kind of sword in the fiction, let alone this one, but nonetheless, it's a VERY important bit of TF mythos.

    Add to it that none of the following toys that SHOULD have had the blade ever did:

    US FortMax
    Brave Max (Except the Lucky draw)
    Any version of Super God Fire Convoy/Omega prime (Except the limited TRU crystal gift set)

    There's a lot of us who have a need for this weapon in our collection, but probably not the weapon itself. I was lucky enough to get the Crystal Super God Convoy gift set (Later sold it, but kept the Sword), so my Brave Max has a sword, but I want the original black-and-red version to give to Chromedome and Fortress.

    I can't wait!

    BBTS just got all three of these in today. Got the email notice about 20 minutes ago. I hope my neighbors are aware that the screams of "NO! NO! STOP! IT HURTS!" are just the sounds of my credit card begging for mercy.

    Yeah, I was going to get all three myself. But with the second daughter having arrived last week I decided to just get the Convoy version... I'll get one for Nemesis & Magnus later (doesn't seem like they'll sell out given how a lot of peeps seem to think the set is overpriced) when the wife goes back to work at the end of October.
