2005 boards members skywalker and ChErikS have chimed in with more details on the Toys ‘R’ Us exclusive Gathering at Nemesis set from the Transformers Revenge of The Fallen toy line.
The set is a 3-pack, containing Megatron, The Fallen, and a Soundwave repaint in blue. No word on the possibility of the other two figures being repaints as well. It is set for release in October.
Could we see this set unveiled this weekend at Botcon?

What? It's the first movie Voyager Mold?
EDIT – You're right! Now I can go ahead and get the ROTF Voyager.
I'll probably pass on this as well, and get the original Soundwave if there's no Voyager.

So is this "1:22 RotF Battle Pack at Tru, Blue Soundwave, Movie 1 Voyager Megs" that was mentioned in the panel the same as this 3 pack we've been talking about? If so, it's a shame. Wouldn't have minded blue soundwave and a diff color of the smaller megs from ROTF. But a repaint of the first movie megs? Pass

Of course, there were Transformers before Beast Wars, so maybe we had seen the Nemesis somewhere before.

Hopefully the Voyager Megs will be gray or silver, and that will make me definitely buy it. It appears as if the Voyager mold is more accurate to the film, but he's way too small to go against Leader Prime, and he's green for some reason. Mayhe the Fallen will be slightly darker and shinier, as his CGI model had a greentint but overall seemed like a shiny black.

Maybe it'll come with a orange and red The Fallen, called MORE ON FIRE THAN BEFORE The Fallen.

I'm glad this was confirmed, and I finally will have a cool bludgeon…I was worried the Nemesis thing was going to be a diorama of the robot heros beast wars figures (ala star wars/gi joe) with a repainted waspinator or something..
Emperor Zarak
might just get it………
Optimus Prime
I'll definitely get this, especially if the box it comes in is a cool display one like the Freeway Battle, First Encounter, etc., sets.

Fallen, Megs, Soundwave. That set sounds tempting. I didn't plan on buying the Voyager Megs and opted for the leader, but in a two pack with a G1 redeco Soundwave I may now pick it up. Hopefully the Fallen will be different enough too to justify picking it up.
The Whirl/Bludgeon 2-Pack. Tough call. I really do like the Wreckage redeco but I am not a fan of the Blackout mold enough to justify that purchase. Maybe BBTS or eBay will have Bludgeon seperately someday.

Blue Soundwave repaint? Curse my love for Soundwave. I MUST get this!
saberconvoy
a blue soundwave
yes
Trikeboy
Megatron, The Fallen and Soundwave is an odd group. Going by the novelisation, Megatron and Starscream meet in the wreck of Nemesis and there are dozens of protoforms in stasis. The Fallen and Soundwave never get to the Nemesis. Obviously the novel is not based on the final shooting script and things can change.
Shin-Gouki
I was hoping the Nemesis thing was going to be a G1 inspired Universe thing. Oh well more money to save.

man i hope the fallen is a black repaint!
skywalker
nope, "Gathering" and the 2 pack will be released some time in october. as far as I know here, locally, only wave 1 will be released along with the preview figs, sadly.
flamingunicron
doubtful…we would have seen a test shot by now from china wouldn't we?

So will this three pack Nemesis be available at launch Friday at 9 pm is my question?!?!
Angelwave
Wow….that's nice that Perceptor and the Insecticons will finally appear over here. I hope any changes done to them are minimal.
Oric
I look forward to insecticons. That sounds like it could be the 50 dollar item in the system people were wondering about last month.
ChErikS
I can confirm that this is correct it is a 3 pack. And also I might as well put it out there since they announced it at our quarterly meeting last week, the reissues that TRU will be getting this fall are Perceptor and the Insecticons. Hope that was worth the wait.
