Well, color me surprised. I thought Hasbro would never release the Takara version of Blast Off in a more G1 shuttle design, but here we are experiencing a Blast Off that not only features a toy accurate paint scheme, but benefits from some mold tweaks introduced with UW Strafe. I'm really glad I picked up this mold again and if you've yet to experience shuttle Blast Off it's definitely worth a look.

Power of the prime Nemesis Prime sample review.
Days / judgment samples open.
Let's start with the conclusion: again, change and much are limited, but the price does not change, and when the treasure Buddha has no guidelines.
Before the news was stolen, there was a dream that there would be a black boss, but what I didn't dream about was that there was a change of head and accessories. Let me seriously say this is the real ginrai head! The big head is also quite a bit of a. Sign. Small heads have also changed, many more evil sense.
The overall color color is the black red purple green silver style that has always been nemesis, and it is not so obvious that a black little machine calf looks like a pack of backpacks.
Apart from the original big guns, there are two more swords and hands-on guns, and one can also turn from big swords into animals and birds, and big hearts.
Both models and robot weapons can be completely mounted on their body, without worrying about putting them in the closet.
As for sticker stickers, stealing plastic holes, these problems are no different from previous op, and friends who want to attack with the same moves may have to find new breakthroughs. The same move against the official is useless.
If you accidentally see it in the shop head, please low-profile buy and play. After all, this is an electric qualification outside abroad, and it might be difficult to buy it in local places, too too much to make it easy for electric traders to turn off

On a sorta related note, has anyone been able to fanmode a separate alt mode for Orion Pax like Hot Rod and Little Optimus Primal have. It urks me that his alt mode is basically the cab without the trailer.

I've never seen the fanmodes for those two, where do I find images?
I just want this to show up for Order, it's a cool set. I may need to consider getting a second one to display both bots. I just wish that Cab mode was better cause that Truck would have been pretty sweet in those colors.

Hot Rod and Little Primal don't have fan modes but they have offical modes. Hod Rod has his car mode and Primal has his hover car mode. Optimus just has the cab mode minus the trailer.

As of right now he is only available if you get him with Elita one. Even the Takara version is sold out. I had preordered him and finally got him in my POL about 2 days ago.

It's a new mold accessory made just for this figure, as it's based on the Star Saber from Armada, in which Armada Nemesis Prime wielded an evil copy of the sword in the episode "Puppet", hence the sword's name here being the "Dark Saber".chuckdawg1999 wrote:Any idea where the non transforming sword for nemesis Prime comes from?

...perhaps
But yes, in Canada & India, but honestly I was just so distracted by my find that I didn't really think out what I was saying, so I made it sound like Target could be found all over the world. Sorry about that!

You can indeed, krana found pictures where it was done as all you had to do was knock out one pin that was holding the bits together.

Just knock off the pin linking the spaceship backpack from "Action Master" Primal's body.

We once did. But it's already been a few years since we don't anymore. Sad really, because it was another hunting ground and we had easy access to the Target exclusives for once.
Too bad...

Hmm, they used to at least. Remember going to one in Montreal about 3-4 years ago. Kinda sad if they were closed.
*looks onlone*
Shoot, I'm REALLY wrong, they announced they were going out of business in 2015! My bad

Really hoping for some more armada 2.0 figures soon.... Hot Shot, Megs, Tidalwave, and Starscream are a bit lonely.

Aside from the Japanese product info decal slapped on the packaging, MAGA (Make Autobots Great Again)on Jazz, the production serial number embossed on the International version is absent in the Japanese releases.

Which one? The Pax head or the Prime head?
The Prime head was designed back in CW for a Nemesis anyway, but because Takara made Grand Scourge they let FunPub use it for Toxitron.
The Pax head I can definitely see Movie Prime's face. Perhaps they thought it would fit seeing as most call Movie Optimus "Murder Prime"?

The heads are meant to look like a cross between Optimus Prime's head and the Decepticon symbol.Short Circuit wrote:I'm really looking forward to the day I'm able to snag a nemesis prime.

And something weird is happening in my area. Walmart just got Deluxe Wave 3 in, having seemingly skipped Wave 2 (while having been flooded with Voyager Wave 1 ). Target just got Deluxe Wave 2 (I got Sludge, now I just need Snarl, yay).
Awww, don't feel bad, you can join Stunticon reject Offroad.

You never know. No one expected Hasbro to import Groove back when they did.william-james88 wrote:I am sure we will get a G2 Blastoff the same day we will get Takara's Unite Warriors Liokaiser
And stranger suggestions have been mentioned, like Hasbro asking Fun Pub to do Liokaiser before they did it themselves. Or Hasbro asking Fun Pub to do either Titan class G2 Devastator or Landfill.
