Toyworld have updated their website to show off a whole bunch of pictures of a black redeco of their Orion. Orion was based on the IDW Comics Optimus Prime design from the ongoing series. This black redeco borrows heavily from the Black Convoys, Scourges and Nemesis Primes of Transformers lines past and redecos Orion in black, dark grey and teal with red translucent plastic.
The page for the black Orion also teases that a black version of Toyworld’s debut release, Hegemon, is also on the cards.

I'll eyeball it to see what it looks like, I ended up buying them but haven't applied them yet lol!

I don't think it would look right, the stickers seems to be blue themselves to match with the Prime color scheme.

Sorry for bringing this thread back up… just had a quick question… Has anyone applied the Toyhax Orion windshield stickers to this guy? I just bought him today off of ebay and I'm wondering how that would look…

Finally got mine. The right leg was a big lose but after opening it up, I was able reposition some of the lose parts and now its back to the clickity clackity rachety motion it was intended for.
These two little pieces were out of place.
Reposition them as shown:
Reassemble the parts. Should be just the 3 screws on the crotch piece.

Better late then never. I just wish they would have carried the original Orion as well.

i am weak… bought

I would've done the same. I kinda want the regular Orion too, maybe even a little more, hopefully there will be a reissue sometime in the future or maybe someone else will make a good classics/idw prime in this scale. keeping my eye out for a deal though

Yeah, I hear you. Lots of other stuff coming out and it dropped on my list as well, but I saw the sale it was something like 15% off plus 20 off 200 or something, so it was probably right around 90 shipped that I couldn't pass it up.
Joevette8
thats a good price, yeah i want him cause i like black primes but at the same time i am buying so many other things right now hes not priority. He is starting to sell out though at some retailers.

I got one recently for sub $95 from Uncle Billy on ali express (there was a sale going on). I was holding out for a while too and missed the last set of preorder prices for him and hegemon. kind of glad i waited what with the xtrans megs coming, this guy can now just stand on his own

I have him, great figure. Goes great with all the murder black figures i own.
Joevette8
i was considering getting him too, if there was a black friday deal for him anywhere i would've bought him already
liuserboi
i think i'm going to pick this guy up. Anyone recommend the renderform orionvil head upgrade? the current one doesn't look too bad. how much better is the neck piece on the upgrade? or is it more of a preference?
