Takara Tomy Transformers Go! Hunter Optimus Prime Black Version Revealed

How is this mould to actually play with? Good/fun? I like the deco it's in.

He's a Decepticon? Wonder what his story is.

And what his name might be.

I think it's a good, fun mold. Good transformation and nicely articulated/posable bot. His guns/boosters and wings provide a lot of options for posing. I've noticed a LOT of customizers have repainted this mold.

I agree, though I keep my 2-pack one in Robot Mode most of the time, not that impressed with Vehicle Mode. The Hasbro version lacks paint in certain areas, the 2-pack one lacks them on the top of the windshields and the hilt of the Star Saber (but funnily enough, I'm not that bothered by that), but does have correctly colored side windows.

"Optimus Prime Black Version" or "Nemesis Prime"... Such a difference a name makes. That black repaint of Henkei Convoy pulled a fast one, may happen again.

Oh, man, I would buy that so hard.

Looks awesome. Now, how about Optimus Prime with a slavish show accurate paint job with face shield Takara and Hasbro?

There go my plans to divest my Prime collection.

Seriously... now I HAVE to pick up Beast Hunters Prime to go with this magnificent specimen. Hopefully I'll be able to conjure the funds for regular & black Takara versions.

Well damn, that is a fine looking robot. Of course, it had to be a Takara release. Now that I've discovered the joys of HLJ I may pick it up, providing it's not some sort of exclusive. Fingers crossed. Because dang, that is a fine looking robot!

Sold!!

well if I know any thing,this is most likely Nemesis Prime

either way I'm getting it

Like this guy:

Black optimus prime sounds effing cool, simply coz it sounds like he's literally the black guy version, bitchslapping BB, and with a new mission focused solely on fembots. But nah, with the con symbol, its more nemesis prime, at least in name.

United Black Optimus Prime, as shown above, has , yet he's an Autobot undercover.

Yeah, which con won't recognize that typical truck and robot body, haha. Or which con would really believe he changed sides by his own free will. NO NO NOTHING ABOUT THIS SEEMS RIGHT AT ALL.

anyone have any idea how much this BH nemesis is gunna go for?

That head sculpt is sweet , wish they had put that on the original release.

Ok, you know what I'm calling Darkside here, right here and now!

YES! FACEPLATE! Buying.

Not unless Optimus just "claimed" to be an evil clone whilst undercover.

Ughhhh, paint it black and I have to get it. I don't understand

Anyone fluent enough in Japanese wanna take a crack at this:

MINE!

I read "Hunter Nemesis Prime". There's our answer. As for why, I also read "Black Legendisk" and "Hunter Optimus Prime", maybe the power of the disk made that clone?

If this were to be Nemesis, I wonder how/why the Black Legendisc would be connected to him since the same item made the Kuromusha and Kurojishi upgrades for Kenzan and Gekisoumaru, repsectively.

And I just noticed he's a Cybertron Satellite exclusive, and due for release in December. Go me

I agree. Takara makes like (in my opinion) better toys than Hasbro. Look at the new Optimus Prime for Transformers: Go!

Evil clone... hmm, I can dig it. Especially since I already have Classics Nemesis Prime with the backstory of being created by Straxus after he managed to remove the original prime from the body.

That vehicle mode is great in that colour too. So wierd how much better this looks in those colours, I thought the original looked derpy

TakaraTomy's website has posted official info on Hunter Nemesis Prime - http://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/toy/event/2013/10/h-neme.html

Oh, yes, Nemisis Prime/Black Convoy was destined to do that mold justice.

And we both derped in forgetting MECH's Nemesis Prime. Maybe the Black Legendisc brought actual life into that chassis and upgraded it? He even retained part of his original title:

Arms Micron: 虚像兵士 (kyozou heishi) or "false soldier"
Go!: 虚像司令官 (kyozou shireigan) or "false commander"

Or, maybe it doesn't fit into the fiction, and Takara Tomy just wanted to get more use from the mold, and they knew people will by a black version of any OP mold, so they made this.

But accompanying fiction automatically makes a toy 20% cooler.

*45%.

And Takara is usually decent at tying in their toy bios with the main fiction, even if the result is just something behind-the-scenes or offscreen of said fiction.

In this case, the characters connected to the Black Legendisc could potentially have some experience in these forms occur outside of the cartoon's episodes. After all, there's nothing in the show thus far to contradict this from happening later on.

0.01%

It'd be pretty sick to see a fiction where, oh i dunno, Nova prime amasses an army of nemesis primes (classics/prime/BH/G2/neog2laserprime/that black mastadon repaint prime and the tons of others) and uses them to colonize the universe or some crap... a prime per star system. Sometimes it's fun to make up your own fiction, even if your the only one to enjoy it on your shelf, haha.
