    Reckon we’re bound to get one to go with Legacy Megatron next year, fingers crossed he’s the Commander class

    I am a huge fan of the TRU Japan set but I never liked the inner Prime’s bot mode - perhaps because of the stark contrast with the wonderful bendy/std Prime - so I should be interested in this; but, I really really don’t care for that US version inspired trailer. So gonna pass.

    Grainy pics? Do you mean that prototype they said was just a mock-up, or are there some new leaks I don't know about?

    I have absolutely no connection to this character but that new deco is beautiful and it's making me want it and I wish it didn't.

    Fanstastic. I love this. Recolor this as much as you want. Costco Prime, K-Mart Prime, the chrome gold one, the clear one. I don't care. FansHobby can have my whole bank account for any Armada they decide to do.

    Dang it this is so tempting. It’s not standard prime colors either so it’s even more interesting to me. Must resist….

    actually I would be very surprised if they didn't grab the chance to release Superbase Nemesis Prime / Scourge. This would be completely new and very popular.

    I’d be all over it, the super mode in black and teal would be something else.

    I'm just over here hoping there's a Leader Jetfire in the works that combines with him as well. One can dream

    Interesting. I’m not sure which deco I like better, the powerlinx one or the original one. Part of me prefers the non-traditional colors because then I can use him as a different character in my head canon.

    OK yeah, I might have to wait for that!

    I really wish we'd just get a Bendy Prime release of some sort. I don't need the super mode or anything.

    I like it. The color scheme is different enough that I can add it to my collection and not have just another variation of Optimus Prime. Now to settle on a nane for him.

    Same. The deco here looks great but one of the Final Episode/Takara toy colours I'd find extremely hard to resist.

    I\'m confused about this. Is this suppose to be Nemesis Prime or Recolour Optimus Prime ?
