She's coming our way, this new video up on YouTube shows the transformation of the Transformers Legacy Evolution Titan Class Decepticon Nemesis figure that slated for a release. Get a look at the purple Titan going from alternate mode Spaceship to her robot mode in the video here.
I'm only whelmed by this.
Seeing as to how the legs and arms transform and how few moving parts there actually are and a few other factors, this should have been a bit better. Or rather, at least better proportioned. She's fine and all and I like the spindley look of her but I just wish that at least the thighs were longer. The short torso is fine as are the insanely long arms even if the shoulders should be better. It's just I really hate short thighs on Transformers figures. I also wish the guns did a little more to help them look like guns.
It's just that compared to Cybertron Metroplex especially and even the Ark and Mainframe, the Nemesis is a little lackluster overall.
So the shoulders, the short thighs and the guns aren't doing it for me with this figure but otherwise it's pretty cool. Oh yeah, the tiny axes are laughable as well.
Looking back at the design sketches, the shorter thighs might have worked better had she had those digitigrade or reverse legs. But ultimately, I like the ones where parts of the alt mode itself became the thighs.
Or it could've just looked more like the official character designs. The long and tall shoulder pylons going off to the sides of the shoulders look really good. As do the better proportioned legs with the bulkier thighs and the legs in general that don't stand straight. That's a good design, shame it didn't quite translate into plastic all too well though.
Ah, yes. "Evo-Fusion."
This is pretty sweet! She looks great and I like the idea of the bottom "fin" to fold apart for landing (or crashing into a Peruvian mountain range). ?
I also find it funny that both Siege Seeker Skywarp and Earthrise Thrust are teased on the front of the boxart. ?
