Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Praxiusprime77, has let us know that Facebook page, DaimChocReports, has uploaded new shots of the forthcoming Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Spoiler Box #2, or more specifically, it's contents: Nemesis Prime!

These new shots show off Nemesis wielding his weapons (taken from the Power of the Primes Amazon Exclusive Nemesis Prime) and uses for the red Slitherfang repaint the set comes with.

As a bonus the images also show a comparison to Takara's Siege Nemesis Prime, released this past March. The differences in deco choices are apparent but the Netflix release comes with more extras in the was of the aforementioned Red Slitherfang, Giza, and the two double barrelled guns from the Amazon Nemesis Prime, and a black repaint of Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Primes trailer.

Check out the images below:

The images were taken by Chan Fuk Cheung.

Will you be getting this classic black redeco of Optimus Prime? Are you sticking with the Takara version? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Wait... I thought the bird-sword was omitted from the WFC one?

What's the deal, with ?Hasbro and using dull colors? Like that tan/grey on the trails of the Titan Master OP and the Sleep OP, and now this dark grey instead of black on NP?
I also like the more extensive use of teal on the Takara version.

Also it appears Fangtron will be the first Shield-Type Battlemaster to have non translucent Plastic? I know there had been pics of it before, but they were small. I thought he would be translucent like all the others.

That's an interesting point :-?

I didn't think anything of it when I newsed but looking back at the reveal photos, giza was no where to be seen. Now its possible that the photographer added giza but I don't know

Nope, but we only found out he had it a few days ago when in-hand images started appearing:

Netflix-War-For-Cybertron-Nemesis-Prime-01.png

I could have sworn this got posted here already, but I guess not.

I already wasn't intending to replace either of my Siege Datsuns with this ER mold, but this Barricade especially makes it easy. Worse/more boring colors, still no Punish and Enslave on the alt mode (although that's probably for the best given how this year has gone), and the bad-looking ER Smokescreen face? No thank you. The only selling point here is the fact that he gets an actual gun this time in addition to the shoulder guns.

I'm glad I POd Nemesis Prime, I'm definitely selling the Amazon one now, this is better. I'm happy to see Barricade comes with all the weapons allotted to the mold.

Don't know if I should go for the more accessible WFC one, or the PotP one with its Evolution gimmick. Storyline potential! :-?

I have and think I prefer the POTP one, but I almost never decombine him and its so big compared to the current Prime and Megs and other leaders that I am kinda looking forward this for a more scale figure. But this combo of Siege Prime with Earthrise trailer is identical to my Optimus and I dont want a straight duplicate

Hasbro's Nemesis Prime looks way better than Takara's overload of teal, especially better truck mode. Barricade looks really good too along with his nearly entirely black car mode. I can't wait to have all of the siege and earthrise datsuns.

:MAXIMAL:

Okay, I do not get what's going on here, but either everyone is really confused or I missed something, cuz hasbro's is the one with the vivid black and teal, tt's is the one with muted colors, you can tell by the color of the wheels who is who, but everyone seems to have them mixed up

If I ever find that Nemesis Prime in store, I may make an impulse purchase.

But Soundwave will be a instant purchase if I found him in store. I won't buy from a scalper though.

Takara's is the one with the teal con symbol, Hasbro nemmy has the purple con symbol. In the comparison photos, TT Nemmy is on the left, hasbro is on the right. This is confirmed by looking at stock images and the in package shot

I'm confused. We thought the snake in the new set was Giza, but in the PotP version the "bird" was Giza. If he comes with both then what's the snake's name?

In my head canon (since I'm going to have both figures) the TT figure is RID Scourge's newest body while the Netflix version is Unicron Trilogy Nemesis Prime/Grand Scourge (if you consider those the same characters, I do). So one is a Decepticon that looks like Optimus and is on sort of the chaotic neutral side while the other is a creation of Unicron that looks like Optimus and is pure evil.

Animated Skywarp = dark gray
War For Cybertron Soundblaster = dark gray
Siege Skywarp =dark gray
Now Earthrise Nemesis Prime = dark gray

This is getting ridiculous now. They're all supposed to be jet black. Why is Hasbro doing this? Is there a logical explanation why they can't just use black plastic?

I'm beginning to think that the red Slitherfang doesn't have a name ..unless that's the spoiler for this set

I NEED a G1 Barricade Masterpiece.

Please add a "To Punish and Enslave" reference on the doors though.

I like the look of Hastak's Nemesis. Takara's has too much of the Teal color imo.
Man I hope I can find that Soundwave, and I'll get Barricade too if I see him. I really dig those colors.

Is there a trick to reading Cybertronian? I know it's just a straightforward cypher of English but even looking at them side by side I can't make any immediate comparisons to Latin script, and the symbols all look similar, so memorization seems like an uphill fight.

(I say this as I teach myself Japanese)

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Praxiusprime77 has let us know that a new video review of the forthcoming Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Spoiler Pack #2 Nemesis Prime is now online! The reviewer is The Mr. Stan Show on YouTube.

This release contains Nemesis Prime (redeco'ed Siege Voyager Optimus Prime), trailer (redeco'ed trailer from Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Primes) weapons (from the Power of the Primes Amazon Exclusive Leader Class Nemesis Prime), Fangtron (redeco'ed Earthrise Battlemaster Slitherfang) and some Energon cubes. Also included is spoilers for the Netflix series, written in Cybertronian.

One of the big surprises with this set has been the incursion of Giza (the bird which transforms into a sword from the Amazon exclusive Nemesis Prime figure) as initial listings didn't picture him, which lead to speculation that the red Slitherfang was named Giza for this release.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

Will you be adding this Nemesis Prime to your collection? Have a place in your Nemesis Prime shrine ready? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I've got it pre-ordered twice! Once from Walmart back when they were revealed, and again from Hasbro because Walmart is Walmart and I expect them to simultaneously push back the dates on their pre-orders while they show up and possibly even go on clearance in stores before they even think of shipping pre-orders.

heh...heh..heh....Spoiker...

Frustrating case of first reviewer wanting to be first and not knowing about the toy or fiction itself... How ironic is it that someone who didn't even know this was coming is the first to get it. :roll:

Looks like he did some quick googling, but doesn't know that ER Prime is completely different from Siege, and there is no "Netflix Prime" (not yet anyway, its coming and will be the same as ER, just painted different).

I know what the cypher is, I was asking if there's any tipster to comprehension without going through it letter by letter. Like "the character for A looks like a lowercase a if you look at it sideways", shortcuts like that

To keep this on topic, I'm looking forward to Soundwave and Bumblebee from the next wave, I hope they start turning up soon. They're supposed to be next month, right?

As far as I know the Deluxes are coming end of this month/beginning of next month, but here in the UK the Voyagers aren't due until December, not sure about the rest of the world though.

Greetings Seibertronians! We've received word from a few fellow Seibertron users (Turned Agent, Praxiusprime77 and -Kanrabat-), we've learned that PrimeVsPrime has done a new review for the forthcoming Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Soundwave!

This Soundwave is a retool of his Siege Voyager Class toy, complete with slight redecos/retools of the first Spy Patrol Micromasters (Lazerbeak and Ravage). Soundwave no longer turns into his Siege spaceship alt mode, instead taking on his classic earth mode! Lazerbeak and Ravage under go slight modifications as well with their appearances to better match their earth modes (for example, Lazerbeak sports a new head).

Soundwave is set to release soon but only at Walmart for those who live in the US and Canada (UK fans should keep an eye on Smyths toys)

Here's what PrimeVsPrime has to say about the toys:

Are you getting this version of Soundwave? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'm not as enthusiastic as PvP, because the back of the tape deck is a pile of scrap and there's hollow parts visible from the front. The Updated cassettes are nice though.

So I guess an impulse purchase if seen live in store, but I'll not be going out of my way to get it.

Re: New Images of Netflix Transformers Nemesis Prime (2083049)
Posted by Rodimus Prime on October 7th, 2020 @ 6:27pm CDT

I'll probably pick it up because I think it looks better than the Siege version but I don't like Ravage so either I'll sell him or just keep him in cassette mode in Soundwave's chest.

I'm in pretty much complete agreement. New Laserbeak looks good, but I don't really care for the new Ravage. I'm worried I won't be able to sell them separately though.

It occurred to me that I don't really want this for the tape deck mode, but more just because it's clean. I might try to get a Siege Soundblaster to have the mold around after I sell my Siege Soundwave.

Also, Buzzsaw when? Maybe that's one of the unannounced Selects sets.

Re: New Images of Netflix Transformers Nemesis Prime (2083058)
Posted by Sowndwave76 on October 7th, 2020 @ 8:37pm CDT

This is interesting to me; Netflix Soundwave looks like a pretty great figure... And yet, it still could be better.
But I will essentially hunt for this figure, because I can't help but think that the next time a G1-esque Soundwave is released, it will most likely be quite different, and imo, be hindered (and possibly ruined) by some sort of gimmick.
Which also means it could be a really long time before we get a better version than this one.

I kinda wish he was packaged with just Lazerbeak... I too could pass on Ravage.
In fact, I wish Ravage was replaced by Frenzy or Rumble.

Either way, I'm really looking forward to this figure; if I can get ahold of it!

I know this is super random and unrelated lol but I've always wanted an updated, generations style toy of transformers animated Shockwave and when news came of leader class siege shockwave id hoped he was leader class because they were going for the quadruple changer. Just wishful thinking I guess

It's been so long since I've seen that one Knight Rider episode. Cullen does go a bit deeper in the live action films. But not sure if it's close to anything like Venger from D&D or Cindarr from Visionaries, those were great villain voices.

It's mostly on display when he has Prime say his most aggressive lines like, "Give me your face!", "I'll kill you!", "He's going to die," or "We will kill them all."

What I think is funny is that the cassettes have never really been improved upon. The originals still look the best in both modes, and pretty much function the best.

New preorders at TakaraTomy Mall:

WFC-15 Autobot Impactor
WFC-16 Nemesis Prime

Yep, Takara is releasing Netflix Nemesis despite their having already released their own Siege Nemesis previously.

Re: New Images of Netflix Transformers Nemesis Prime (2083217)
Posted by Emerje on October 9th, 2020 @ 2:31am CDT

This came exactly out of nowhere. In a surprise move Takara Tomy Mall is taking pre-orders on a new Siege SG-EX Soundblaster based on his appearance in the Netflix animated series. While mostly similar to the Walmart exclusive 35th Anniversary figure it features less "battle damage" on his chest and a Mercenary faction symbol. There have been no leaks or rumors about a new Soundblaster release aside from speculation of a repaint of Netflix Soundwave retool figure due this month. As an EX figure it will be exclusive to Takara Tomy Mall within Japan. It should be pointed out that this is not being listed specifically as part of the mass retail Netflix line by Takara Tomy in Japan.

Original figure for reference:

Netflix appearance:

It's unknown if Hasbro will ever release this version of the figure which could make it a hard to find collectible for fans trying to complete their Netflix lineup and unwilling to settle for the original Walmart release. Takara Tomy Mall will also be the exclusive seller in Japan to including ER EX-20 Ratchet and Lifeline, ER EX-21 Bluestreak, ER EX-22 Centurion Drone, SG-EX Rainmakers. If you have any thoughts on this release feel free to post them in the Energon Pub forum!
