Hasbro's Masterpiece Rodimus Prime

The originals... ok, not exactly, but the original named "The TransFormers" anyway. Take THAT, Diaclone!
Generation 1, Generation 2 - Removable fists? Check. Unlicensed vehicle modes? Check. Kickass tape deck robot with transforming cassette minions? DOUBLE CHECK!!!

What is that about, anyway? I've noticed lot of sigs and avatars over there on the same topic. Are there plans to call the repaint of that mold "Nemesis Prime" ?

I wouldn't mind it. They just released a Scourge-Scourge; to release a guy who looks entirely different while also named "Scourge" would be strange.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

There's a campaign over there to get the repaint named Scourge instead of Nemesis Prime. I jumped on the bandwagon as soon as I saw it because, well let's face it, you all know I've been saying "Scouge, not Nemesis" for years now.

The obviousness of the recolour has deterred me from buying that Prime more than once.

Between Hasbro, Takara, eHobby and Fun Publications, a legit recolor is all but guaranteed, meaning there is no need for a custom figure.

-the colour scheme is also damn near impossible to screw up.

Shockwave,I just checked out your site. All I gotta say is you got major talent. You did a beyond beautiful job with those female women wearing Transformers armor pieces.
I wish I could take credit for that, but my sig is actually used by permission from another member over at tfw, shibhamura prime.

But I agree, he does great work.
You stole my BIT, God Dammit! There's only room for one perverted sigpic on these boards, and I think we all know who has more seniority and experience in that area! You're playing with fire, kid.

Yeah, and I agree with that more or less. I mean, I don't care what they call the repaint, if it's black (or really, dark grey) and teal, I'ma call him "Scourge" anyway. But did Hasbro announce this repaint and I missed it or something? Or is this just one of those memes that start up over there?

Actually, truth be told, as much as I like RiD Scourge (in design, anyway), I don't know if I like the Deluxe Laser Prime mold enough to get two of 'em.

....aaaaaand okay, I, um. I'd sort of like 'em to repaint it as Toxitron.

I dunno, I think it's clear that Prowl's always been into the actual *women* of Transformers, whereas Trekwave is repressing some actual desire for the robots themselves. =p NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT

I don't think Hasbro has announced any sort of repaint for that figure yet, but I think the campaign is to drive the idea home to Hasbro before they just call it Nemesis Prime again. Anyway, I saw the bandwagon and jumped on.

Oh that's easy. Boobs are awesome. Robots are awesome. Therefore, robots with boobs are awesome.
