Titan Class Decepticon Nemesis Fully Revealed

GAMS

Damn, she's SWEET!
And in both modes.

Also, am I the only one seeing this?

Nice. Titans take up a lot of space, but I'll make room for Nemesis. I'm glad they dispensed with the "3rd mode" of a base on these - those always seem to suck up engineering from the other modes and make them sub-par.

That said - the thighs are really short compared to the shins, it looks kind of like she's on stilts. The protrusions from the shoulders are kind of high, but I guess they thought they had to do it this way to preserve the ship's silhouette.

And she may be taller than other Titans, but she's also a hekkuvva lot skinnier...

Those were only done with those who originally had them. As in, the City-bots.

What a beauty! I wasn’t super interested in getting the Ark, but if I’m getting her, I see no other choice. I also love the inclusion of the mini Seekers, makes me want to 3D print a mini Transmetal Megatron for some Beast Wars antics.

I can't seem to find Nemesis on Hasbro Pulse, and my minions have the 'membership'. It doesn't seem to be available for pre-order, unless there's a secret link that they haven't shared...

EDIT: The pre-order links in Pulse have since become active!

So - pre order if you can!

We knew from the previous TF livestream that there was an AIROCK connector on the side of the ship, but now thanks to the pics, we can see there is one on the back as well.

Just curious because I dont keep up with 3rd party add-ons.... Did any company make custom AIRLOCK connectors for The Ark?... If not I'm hoping someone is working on them now. Additionally I had heard several years ago that a company made custom TR connectors for T30 Metroplex, but I never was able to find them...

Looks great, not too keen on the goofy guns. Almost looks like it would display really well in bot mode next to Prime figures.

also seems to be lacking a bit of interactivity from not having a smaller bot or opening section but even with the lack of that really looks good. Only thing I'd change is the decepticon logons to to being purple with a white outline but plenty of purple as is. Doesnt look like it needs any add on kits to make it look complete or better

Pre-orders are now live!

This looks amazing, definite buy for me!

Looking at this and the arc, I am starting to think that doing Titan classes of the Autobot Shuttle, the Decepticon Space Cruiser/underwater HQ, and The Revenge might not be out of the question.

Even though I know they're not the same ship, I don't think there are enough differences between the Nemesis and the Victory for them to release it as a separate product. If add-on makers produce sets for the Nemesis, I imagine they'll include parts for Victory's thrusters.

Really like the design for the Nemesis (though, I will be calling her Slipstream Supreme for my collection). Definitely wanna pick her up, but that release date's a huge surprise to me. Hopefully there will still be copies by Christmas as that's when I tend to prefer picking up my titans

Absolutely loving the way the Nemesis looks. The botmode looks huge, agile and deadly, like an EVA. Maybe would have liked some little equivalent to Teletraan-1 (but smaller), like that tower that served as the entrance for the Decepticon base. I know it's a different ship, but the context is the same. No matter though, this thing looks beautiful as is.

Now available for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers.

Preordered on Amazon.

I wish they did something with those pointy shoulders, as well as the fins on her legs. Also, in ship mode, that bulbous bottom on the front kinda reminds me of a turkey neck...

Looks even better with the actual color scheme.

I agree about the shoulders. And it looks as if they are using those big spikes on the shoulders in their boast about it being "23.5 inches tall". Which seems like cheating. I generally don't count protrusions towards a figure's overall height. For me, when the robot is standing in a normal pose, it's the height from head to foot which is what I count...

That sounds like a good idea until you assemble furniture and find out the toys don't fit

Because of the backpack and the very high shoulders, there can't be any forward arm movement. I felt like something was off, that may be why I couldn't preorder her

I reeeeally hope The Axalon and Darksyde are next.

I like it.

Not enough to buy it, but I like it.

In ship mode she looks great for the most part, I think that mode was given priority over the robot. Unfortunate for me, since I plan on having her in robot mode mostly. Now I have to decide if i should get the Ark to go with her. I was holding out for a repaint for The Last Autobot, but that's highly unlikely now.

It won't beat the Siege tetrajet for more uses, it has at least 11.

It looks like they didn't even build in shoulder rotation, but the transformation design and stability may have contributed to that choice, too.

Edit: scratch that, there is at least one stock image with limited shoulder rotation, I missed that.

I like how Thundercracker and Thrust are in their Earth modes while Skywarp isn't on the box art.

Those flaps on her back can probably be folded.

The wings on her back can probably fold back to increase the range of shoulder articulation. Those wings look like they're formed by the vertical fin that splits into two halves that fold outward.

It will be the 10th use of the Siege Megatron mold, so it's close

I really love the way she looks! If you didn't know she was nearly two feet tall you'd probably assume she was a Deluxe figure for how dynamic they were able to get the posing in the photos. I don't miss the smaller robot being included at all because they made up for it with weapons. Nothing worse than a Titan that trades any and all weapons for a wrong colored extra figure (looking at you, Ark). There was rumor or maybe just speculation that she'd be able to interact with Tarn, I wonder if there's still a chance of that happening? They only officially mentioned Skyquake and Needlenose interacting in the instructions and during the live stream after all rather than on the box and in stock photos. Not actually sure what kind of interaction they could have though.

It isn't great, but it's there. If it's a full rotation then simply closing the wings a little will fix any restrictions.

with the little cannons on her torso, it kind of reminds me of tidal wave...

The figure is an absolute good! Buuuuuuut should have included a counterpart and the metallic looking piece of facial hair on the chin keeps me from referring this figure as a HER!

DeathReviews wrote:For Legacy Shrapnel's gun/leg accessories: Like many others, I was living in blissful ignorance until this difference was pointed out. That is kind of subtle and I can see how it could be overlooked. It's a small enough thing that it can be ignored, unless you're the kind who is annoyed by any lack of symmetry.

Thing is, if you are one of the (seemingly many) unfortunates who have fallen victim to this mis-matching, what can you DO about it? Will Hasbro send out replacement parts if you contact them? Or will you have to send the whole figure back, and they'll send you out another, and risk them doing the same thing all over again? We know what the problem is, but affected persons don't have a solution.

Perhaps Seibertron could set up an "exchange" thread, wherein people who have these mis-matched accessories can compare them, find compatible mis-matches, and arrange swaps online? If it'll start the ball rolling, my Shrapnel figure has two copies of the "4" stamped leg/gun accessories. If there's anyone out there who needs to swap out a "2" or a "3" copy of theirs, and get a "4" replacement? Let me know and I'll arrange for my minions to make the trade!

Perhaps the code stamps on the box can shed some light on which pieces we're getting with the figure.

Tell me if I'm being crazy here.

is a twisted take on this?:



I really wouldn't put it past Hasbro if there was at least a little bit of influence here.

Also I really want to see Tow-Line repainted into Robot Masters Wrecker Hook to go with the upcoming Straxus.

Is Straxus definitely happening now? I remember a listing was leaked a couple of years ago, and he was intended to be a Leader in the first year of legacy based on his most recent comic design, but he was replaced with Transmetal 2 Megatron. Has another leak come out recently?

I gotta admit, I'm mildly tempted by Nemesis. Her ship form is much more interesting than the Ark, though I almost wish I'd bought him too now.

You can still get the Ark pretty much everywhere at a reasonable price.
The thing seems to have been over-produced so he's on perma-sale at many places.

That is, depending in what country you live, of course.

Amazing! Can't wait to get this one!

I wouldn't call anything definite until we see it in stores, but there's usually some truth to the rumors even it does mean they get shuffled around. With Jhiaxus in 2022 and Tarn in 2023 I think 2024 could be Straxus' year as the next semi-obscure Decepticon sub group leader.

Holy crap, Nemesis is seriously cool.

If I hadn't just ordered the Hiya Ghidorah figure and Hot Toys ROTJ Darth Vader I'd be all over this. But aside from my wallet, I don't think I'll have the shelf space...

So she's about 23' tall with all the shoulder spikes and everything...does that mean she'll be eye-to-eye with the Ark figure?

Not very fond of the robot mode, if I were to get it I think I'd keep it in spaceship form. But sadly that's not gonna happen, as I don't have much space available.

Relieved by the final colour palette. If I had the space, I might pick Nemesis up. Certainly would never use the Bot Mode though. Not that it's bad or anything. But I'd use the ship as a display piece, like the City Bots.

Silly question, but why get her if you're planning on never transforming it? Why not a non-transforming model of the same size should one be released?

Probably because there's no guarantee of the latter ever happening while this one is for certain getting released and could be the only large-sized release of the Nemesis we may ever get from Hasbro/Takara.

Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Silly question, but why get her if you're planning on never transforming it? Why not a non-transforming model of the same size should one be released?

Fun fact: My Beast Wars MP collection? Each has only been transformed once since I bought them. MP-32 (2016) to MP-50 (2020). Personally, for the price point and fiddly nature of some transformations (points to Dinobot and Megatron) I'm apprehensive about doing more than a pose and dusting.

As far as Nemesis goes. My City Bots are permanently in City Mode. Because they are too big/tall to be practical Transformer figures. Same would apply here. As said, I like the Bot Mode. The aesthetic reminds me of Beast Machines Vehicons. But space is all important.

Honestly I'll probably do the same. I only transform the Ark to robot mode on very rare occasions, 95% of the time he's in ship mode, positioned upright to look like it's on a launch gantry. I mostly started doing this because Combiner Wars Devastator has been the centrepiece of my collection for nearly eight years now, and having a much taller robot standing next to him on the shelf just didn't feel right. The Nemesis will most likely be the same, I'll transform her every now and again, but most of the time she'll be in ship mode and positioned upright. That's why I'm happy that the ship's bottom fin can fold up, so it doesn't take up too much room on a shelf.

I don't know what it is but the look feels off on Nemesis, maybe because I still have the unfinished look in my head. The deco is nice but this just went to a possibly maybe if I see on a sale.
