I love how he's a reference to various previous Nemesis Primes/Black Convoys. He's got the Armada one's arm cannons, the Star Saber looking sword from Scourge (I think), and bird sword is from another one (I can remember which)
Crazy Dialga Actually, as I understand it, from a few sources, this entire figure is mostly a reference to the Armada Nemesis Prime...with regards to the cartoon & deluxe Armada Optimus Prime repaint toy versions having the Star Saber Sword (Dark Star Saber), the robot mode arm cannons, and the Giza figure (same exact toy as that original version brought back for this guy)...with nods to various other versions, as you were saying... Aside from ALL of his new (Armada based) weaponry though, he's got elements that nod heavily towards the G1 style Nemesis Prime (basic transfer truck alt mode & rifle), G1 Nemesis PMOP/Black Convoy (truck mode + trailer cannons + combination gimmick), and the RiD (Car Robots) Scourge wherein he has the modified head/face differentiation (also RtS style nod there) as well as the red sword (which might explain why the blade is red instead of Purple on this guy), and there's probably a weird unofficial base mode in there for a nod to all the base mode trailers from any of these guys...if we tried hard enough to figure one out, that is. I may have missed a few, but I think it hits all the major ones anyway, and personally, this guy is going in with my Generations Armada stuff, since his combined mode is more in line with that visual iteration, and should look nice with Tidalwave and G3/CW leader class Megatron...Sadly I'll have to wait until Christmas since I just pre-ordered mine from BBTS...but at least I'm patient, so I'll have that to look forward to!
the extra things are throwbacks to the other nemesis primes/black convoy. Giza was the arms micron for nemesis prime in the prime line. Arm cannons from armada and the dark star saber which the armada nemesis prime had
NEMESIS PRIME HE,S THE MOST POWERFUL EVIL TRANSFORMERS POWER OF THE PRIMES VILLAIN WE ENCOUNTER HIM EVER SINCE GALVATRONUS THE EVIL HEARTLESS DECEPTICONS COMBINER FORCE FOE HE CREATED BOTH THE DARK SPARK AND THE DARK ENERGON SABER SWORD OF UNICORN
No, unfortunately, mine is also with a lot of loose joints. I just request a replacement, let's see what happens. By the way, all loose joints are in Nemesis Pax, is the same for everyone?
Is he supposed to come with a Bio-card? Checked packaging and everything that came with mine multiple times, but no trace of it. All the other TR and POTP figures do have them though.
Have to open back panels on trailer to plug in guns if you haven't figured that out already.
His head looks like the deception logo
Similar to soundwave's head

Sucks he doesn't come with a collector's card
The Guardsmen yea but how would a billionaire corporate have money for paper?
guy :i got potp nemesis prime
me: what version?
guy: yes
Arms Micron Giza is a Saw shark.
Why Giza changed to the bird?
I don't know why love the black one more than blue maybe it dark version are cooler nice of showcasing primes very well done thank you
the extra things are throwbacks to the other nemesis primes/black convoy. Giza was the arms micron for nemesis prime in the prime line. Arm cannons from armada and the dark star saber which the armada nemesis prime had
Gotta wait for Amazon to tell when it's coming
His nemesis prime face looks exactly like the decepticon symbol
NEMESIS PRIME HE,S THE MOST POWERFUL EVIL TRANSFORMERS POWER OF THE PRIMES VILLAIN WE ENCOUNTER HIM EVER SINCE GALVATRONUS THE EVIL HEARTLESS DECEPTICONS COMBINER FORCE FOE HE CREATED BOTH THE DARK SPARK AND THE DARK ENERGON SABER SWORD OF UNICORN
I'm actually waiting for mine. Apparently Amazon put it on waiting list as I missed the 10 minutes it was available.
Oh, Nemmy Nemmy Nemmy.
I f'n love this figure.
You flip the panels and then the double barrels tab into place

crash master I didn't notice until you mentioned it, but I don't think mine did either
Thank you for replying. Couldn't find any reliable info on the subject online either.
Nope, it doesn't, at least not with mine neither
No. Nemesis Prime does not come with a card.
I had to wait like 2 weeks just to finally get a day for mine >.>
Not fun but luckily it's the second wave so hopefully they got all the kinks ironed out
Looks great
Just open the side panels on both sides so you can peg the guns on the sides. Jeez...
I want this😬
Is it weird that I saw this at Wal-Mart
what state?
Yes
Yes
Awesome
