    i still don't like the silly cartoon calves and general cartoon proportions and (lack of) details on this mold, but it looks about 100X better not wearing tighty-whiteys.

    Can MP-44 have the knees/knee flaps looking the same as on the new MP-49 stock pics?

    It’s way cheaper.
    Yeah it looks so weird. I don’t get it.

    Why are they doing G1 Black Convoy instead of Car Robots Black Convoy?

    I mean, why are they not doing:

    Galvatron

    Jazz

    Omega Supreme

    Willie

    Cosmos

    Wreck Garr

    I could seriously go on. But what is the point? TT does what they want when they want.

    Would it kill them to do the Arkeville Nemesis version with the asymmetrical Frankenstein helmet and the mini-gun stacks?
    That’s all I want.
    please and thank you.

    Till then I’m fine with my PotP Decepticon face Nemesis. He’s my perfect evil boi.

    I've never understood the appeal of these black repaints. They're just... soooooo boring.

    Still, am happy for the guys that DO like them.

    Probably fair to say he's about the least exciting MP release of all time. I just can't get into him. MP-10B looked sharper. This needed some purple. Pass.

    Guess these reprints always sell. Next up is the white version and aqua Ultra Magnus. I’ll admit I have at least one nemesis myself, but it’s a different mold than my Optimus.

    I don\'t really get a Nemesis vibe from this.  Perhaps it\'s the toon-accurate head being associated only with G1 OP, save the lack of any vibrant purples?

    Looks very nice. I'm a HUGE fan of the MP-44 mold...

    ...I find myself preferring the MP-10 mold and thinking it suits Nemesis Prime better. I think it's because, for me the MP-44 mold just 'inhabits' Optimus so well, the same contours on Nemesis Prime don't look that menacing really. More a credit to the mold than a criticism of the paint.

    I'm a big fan of MP-10 Black Convoy, but this...I dunno, it kind of leaves me cold. Think it's because it lacks the visual oomf that the previous version had, especially in alt mode. Weird choice to not go with a purple Decepticon badge too.

    The £210 is already including shipping and tax. I've placed a preorder for now which has come out at £210. The figure on its own is ¥21,853, so roughly £153. The cancellation window closes on the 22nd so I'll give it til then to wait and see if anyone offers it cheaper.

    Jazz won't be done cause porsche won't let them, same reasons with VW at first, and we have a generations Omega versus a MP which is just stupid in the scale, as for the rest, those are actually good questions
