    It has a Motormaster feel to it. Almost as if they were close to making the stuntacon set a few people were predicting. Wonder if Jazz, Goldbug and beardimus will look 'similar' to other stuntacons.

    Nemesis? No way. That color scheme is so not Nemesis Prime. And with the weathering and the cracked wind shield, it's just amazing. Looks like a hard core Prime.

    This registers a big ole "meh" from me. Not excited by it but I'm not repulsed. I'll wait till I see a few more before I decide to buy the set or not.

    It is nice to get away from the black and teal of past Evil Optimi, but I would have liked Shattered Glass Optimus more if his purple and black were a lot darker than they appear to be. I LOVE the cracked window and crud on him, though! It's like he's the Captain Pollution to regular Optimus' Captain Planet!

    Hope Jazz and Goldbug have similiar 'damaged and diseased' paint opps on them JUST so nobody will buy them all up and I can get this set at some point. ;)

    I love it. It is completely different from what we have seen and I'm excited to see the rest.

    Wow, VERY nice. The overall color scheme is about what I was expecting, but the added battle damage and worn paint looks awesome. Pleased so far!

    Looks good in those colors; I think I want it just to use as a "Dark Awakening" Classics Prime.

    I just wanna see Goldbug and Jazz. Especially Jazz. That's what I'm wanting to see before I decide to order or not.

    Okay... :peoples: 

    Can't say I love the colors. The bluish gray is okay, but the purple is not doing it for me at all. The battle damage and weathering decos are fantastic, though. Probably the best I've ever seen.

    Look at all that battle damage! It's a rough place, that mirror universe. :) 

    I like it. Mostly because of the gold/black/purple scheme. SOOOO glad the highlight color is gold and not yellow.

    I actually like the battle damage. It gives it a nice look. I'm ready to see more of this set. :D
