    I don't have the PRID Optimus mold, so I'm quite interested in in this Nemesis version. The clear forearms work better in this instance, and that micron looks awesome.

    And gosh does Breakdown look great. Good to see that it looks like his shins are painted, which I opted to do with the normal version of BD.

    Hopefully these will be available on Mandarake for cheap sometime in the near future. The asking price on the usual TF sites is a bit hard for me to swallow.

    Gonna stick with CVL Smokescreen - hope we get Silas Breakdown, but gonna try to rip off that pointless bumper.

    Am I crazy, or is that DOTM Voyager Megatron's grill?

    That Breakdown looks like a top tier figure of the year.

    I'm still not sure if it's worth getting the original or Cylas.

    When someone gets C.Y.L.A.S I hope they check to see if they can swap out the chrome grill for the original Breakdown's grill. That would be a huge step toward wanting to buy it for me.

    While you could swap them in vehicle mode, there's no room to fold it away in robot mode due to the new Silas piece in the body.

    Can the chrome grill.be even taken out? But for Breakdown, there are no peg for the grill.to be inserted right?

    Whoa. I'm impressed with the bonus stickers for Nemesis Prime.

    I probably won't use them. But I appreciate them being included as an option.

    I agree 100%. I was so cheesed off that Breakdown was the last TF Prime figure I bought.

    I really don't like applying stickers to my figures, especially after what becomes of the G1 and G2 sticker glue after 10 years and some "play wear." I wish it was painted on. I don't have the steadiest hands. But I keep the stickers intact and separate (like I do the Encores) Other than than. I'm satisfied with the Takara Tomy.

    I'm wondering if there's any official guide in the instructions for the teal stripes and battle damage stickers. I'm assuming no because they're not numbered. I guess I'll find out in a day or two when mine get here.

    Has anybody here got theirs yet?

    Just got cylas in hand yesterday and can't decide whether to open it or turn around and sell it. I've been downsizing my purchases lately and while I like the figure, I don't know that I $50 like it.
