Nemesis Prime - Alternators - Figure

Alternators Nemesis Prime is a repaint of Alternators Optimus Prime. I must say that this is another excellent repaint of Optimus Prime. Nemesis Prime is packaged in the new Alternators bubble box.

Alternate Mode

Nemesis Prime is a Dodge Ram SRT-10 pick-up truck. It is mainly in black with red tinted windshield. As most Alternators, the vehicle mode is modeled very closely to the actual car. One minor problem is the â€˜emptinessâ€™ under the bonnet. Though it reveals the engine, it reveals a whole lot of the ground too. Also, the mechanism that moves the 2 front wheels at the same time is a little faulty on my side. It could be just my case.

Transformation

Transformation wise it is at the usual alternators standard. Nothing too tough but nothing too simple either. The engine then transforms into a handgun pistol.

Robot Mode

In robot mode, as like many Nemesis Primes, the usual teal linings all start to appear here. These details are mainly painted at the legs as well as the forearms. Though Nemesis Prime has decent articulation points, there is a whole lot of kibble that hinders the poses made.

Nemesis Prime has red tinted eyes and two tiny Decepticon symbols at each shoulder. The head sculpt is quite similar to God Ginrai/Powermaster Optimus Prime. One could always claim this as Nucleon Quest Convoy if not for the Decepticon symbol.

Nemesis Primeâ€™s chest is too wide and also the waist armor really hinders the waist articulation. The two screws at the waist armor actually spoils the overall look. Thighs of Nemesis Prime are too small, thus limiting the number of poses that it could actually achieve. My Nemesis Primeâ€™s knees were actually quite loose, causing it to lean backwards from time to time.

Personally I feel that the weapon is too small compared to the bulk of Nemesis Prime. A larger weapon would do it good. At the region around the fists, the connection pin can act as a little cannon for use in battle.

With all the complaints, Nemesis Prime still shines as a very menacing opponent to any who opposes. A sparkling gem for the eyes.

Overall

Personally, I feel that this a much better figure then Alternators Optimus Prime. The new color scheme covers up most gaps that Optimus Prime couldnâ€™t. Overall, a very nice figure with sufficient details, definitely fitting to any collectors display. Recommended to all!

My Score:

I love my Nemesis Prime. over all his is much more pleasing to the eye then Optimus color wise. The best thing is all the black meshes well together, unlike all or Prime''s different shades of red. Also, my Nemesis Prime''s joints are by far tighter and he poses MUCH better. Really can''t say enough about him. I love him. Not my favorite, but pretty close.

My Score:

You wanted them to make the engine insanely huge just so Prime could overcompensate?

It would have been nice had they included a sword of fury, but seeing as the original Prime only had the engine/pistol, I wasn''t expecting much. I like it. I think it looks fine with the rest of the D-cep Alts, despite their heavy influence on black and yellow.

My Score:

I''m giving it a 7/10?

I agree w/ the points raised above:

If the base score were a perfect 10, I''d take a way a point for my Nemesis having loose knees. Since there''s 2 knees, that''s -2pts already. I don''t put the flaps behind the knees down to prevent the toy from falling back. All the while I thought I just got a bad piece but apparently the reviewer above also has one with bad knees.

I also have an issue with the pistol -- I find it too small. I mean he''s supposed to be intimidating! A pistol-packing Prime is sure to elicit snickers somehow. That''s -1.

On a plus note, I love the black and teal/cyan color!

How is it a "much better figure" than Optimus when they''''re identical sans paint?

Didn''t you just answer your own question? I believe it obviously meant that the paintjob made it a better figure for the author.

My Score:

Perhaps this is graded on a bell curve? Being that I haven''t got ahold of a NP yet, I''ll reserve final judgement. Looks too much like DeadEnd paintwise, too bland. Being this Prime has the same probs as his original OP mold, I think the main draw will be the limited run (for those who don''t know how to get it otherwise).

My Score:

Proofread man! I was going to pick on you for grammatical errors, but there were too many. It also seems odd that you mention so many negative aspects of the toy but then rate it 4.5/5. How is it a "much better figure" than Optimus when they''re identical sans paint?

P.S: Bonnet? Where are you from?

P.P.S: I am jealous of your Micron Densetsu Scourge :)
