    I find it still so funny that some of us are still judging a book by its cover. Ive read comments that said things like "why?", "Whats the point?", "it just looks like an update on the original", "looks cheap" and whatnot yet now im reading all this praise about the figure. I guess some will never learn.

    My pics of Archenemy. I am incredibly impressed by this and the Megatooth I received.

    Archenemy01.jpg Archenemy02.jpg Archenemy03.jpg Archenemy04.jpg Archenemy05.jpg Archenemy06.jpg Archenemy07.jpg Archenemy08.jpg Archenemy09.jpg Archenemy10.jpg

    There is a slight tabbing issue with the fuel tank on the left side as if I view from underneath it seems not to be parallel to the main truck body, but that is about the only thing I can highlight as an issue.

    All the best
    Maz

    If they don't end up making a CR Fire Convoy/RID Prime down the road it's gonna be downright criminal.

    Certainly looks that way, no rifle with mine just a pic in the instructions of what appears to be MP-10's rifle rear mounted in truck mode.

    Do you guys... have ANY idea... ANY idea... between all this praise, all these beautiful photographs (thanks Maz and others!) and the excellent customer service experience described above...

    ... HOW freaking excited this makes me about their Powermaster Prime!?!??

    Does someone have this and RID/CR Scourge? can I see a comparison between the two? because aside from upscaling and a few modernizations, I fail to see the purpose of this guy without the chrome tanker trailer.

    There are pictures somewhere in this thread of comparison shots between the two, and Fans-Hobby does indeed plan a trailer for him as well.

    Possibly his double barreled gun as well.

    I guess the only justification someone like me would have at this stage is that I don't own CR/RID Scourge/Black Convoy and the market price of the official figure is not incomparable to what Archenemy would cost me...and Archenemy is more articulated and larger (which I admit I love this particular scale of bot), and with the promise of an upcoming trailer...well yeah, it's a viable option to me. With the figure in hand, I'm so thrilled with it, it kinda justifies its existence.

    All the best
    Maz

    Sorry to correct your correction Maz but that is actually Repugnus,Grotusque is the winged figure with two tails in alt mode.

    I think he's just saying he wants their Grotusque, not that the Repugnus he took pics of is him.
