    I really want to see what Takara cooked up for the insecticons. Sucks that there's still no actual images available.

    Alright, I generally don't understand TT's obsession with Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime types, but that mold looks AWESOME in those colors. This may be the first time I've been sad RiD doesn't have a Voyager class.

    I'm very glad I preordered that Magnus on a whim at TFSource for $25.99. Even with the favorable exchange rate, that's pretty much the AmiAmi price before shipping costs.

    I'm guessing they sell well enough to justify consistently mining that well. I'm just glad it's a retail release and not a pricier exclusive.

    I saw one of these big Optimus over the weekend. At first I was like groovy, then I picked it up and looked it over more and I was meh. It was just a Fisher Price version of a Transformer regressed thirty years while rolled up into one figure.

    Nemesis Prime really reminds me a lot of the old Knight Rider F.L.A.G. trailer. That would have been an awesome crossover.

    The black deco must indeed be so popular that TakaraTomy didn't even release a red/blue "Optimus" version of this mold first... or plan to at all (so far).
    If they release a red/blue version later as Optimus Prime, it will just be a redeco in Japan, instead of the other way around for previous Nemesis Primes.

    That's because it's a placeholder. Takara, unlike Hasbro, cover their tampographed faction sigils with a decoy sticker to prevent pre-purchase scanning (yes, Japan has its own RID app). Don't worry about residue, though-the decoys are on a plastic insert covering the area in question in package, not on the actual toy. About the stickers in those images.... well, Takara's so hardcore that it won't allow even the slightest chance that buyers might scan the shield from those pics.

    I need that Ultra Magnus in that dark blue. This photo has taken me off the fence to get him.

    It looks like Takara managed to give Magnus' abs that blue glow.

    I don't know why that new rid optimus hasn't been remolded in ultra magnus yet it is perfect for him.
