    Yes! I'm super stoked for this!

    I wish they would make a suit for the exclusive G2 Combat Hero version of the mold too.

    The DIA Commander version fits the G2 Prime perfectly with its deco.

    I'm so glad to see that this is still moving forward! (Still really REALLY hoping that there will be a version to go with Dagger/Shattered Glass Magnus as well^^)

    Wrong figure - this was for the deluxe class G2 "Laser Optimus Prime" that came out in 2010-ish, Maketoys' did an armor/trailer for that, but now they're making a stand-alone figure to entirely replace the Hasbro one.

    I did see a thread about someone doing a "nova prime" armor set for Battle Core Optimus :

    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...d-nova-prime-upgrade-kit-cw-ultra-magnus.html

    The thread title says CW Ultra Magnus, but take a look at the pictures and you'll see it's the Battle Core figure.

    It doesn't, the blues clash horribly, and the pinkish red does not look good with any of the red from the armor.

    The Diaclone version makes me think of ShartimusPrime. Man, I have too many Battle Tankers already, but this still looks so tempting with the raised shoulders in armoured mode.

    Anyone else hoping for a straight-up RID Scourge out of this mold? There's a ton of these "Nemesis" repaints, but nobody seems to want to do a good Scourge with modern articulation.

    Didn't they do one with their Nemesis Battle Tanker? Could that be considered one?

    Pretty close, I think - more than other "nemesis prime" repaints. But if you compare TFCC Scourge to the core bot in the Nemesis set you'll see there's difference in paint applications and some of the plastic colors.

    That said, I'd be happy to have the opportunity to buy Nemesis for not-ridiculous price, so if Maketoys wants to just do a re-release, that'd be cool.

    I would love if they did one as well with a chromed out Trailer and new sword mold.

    Still wishing for Gento to be repainted in Ultra Magnus colors. SG is cool and all, but my I've got a UM shelf that needs more.
