Hasbro’s Leaked From Cybertron: Power Of The Primes Slash

Dabir

If the little version of Optimus is Orion Pax, what would you call the Nemesis version? Pax means peace, so a few options for the second word would be Pugna, Praelium, Proelium…

Amazon just went with Nemesis Pax so I guess that means the enemy of peace?

Power of the Prime's toyline, though not as much of a trainwreck as the show, was also flawed. Deluxes & voyagers inferior to Combiner Wars figures, horrible stickers & lack of tight joints in the bigger figures, embarrassingly awful compromises in the Dinobots & Predacons, & often figures just didn't feel or even look good. It was also kind of a shame to not get normal figures of the 13 Primes outside of Titan Masters returning alongside tiny Pretender shells, cute curios though they were. On the plus side, Prime Armor looks surprisingly decent as chest armor, fists or shields, & most of the Terrorcons have dedicated storage points in beast mode for them too, overall a big step up from CW's awkward hand/foot/guns. The Powermaster jets, Terrorcons (despite my particular Hun-Gurrr's pathetic qc issues), & Battletrap, among others, stood above the mediocrity & have been most welcome in my collection, with Abominus & Battletrap being among my favorite combiners in it.
Here's most of my photos of my PotP figures through the years as well as some brand new photos!

Nemesis Prime in this mold is so good. The black deco hides a lot of the funkiness, both in truck mode and the trailer, as well as the backpack on Prime mode.

I prefer to have the twin canons in truck mode facing back, to kinda cover the gap in the trailer. Could work like boosters or just them being disengaged until use.

The inner bot Nemesis Pax is wonderful looking.

Big Prime mode also looks great! Love having an alternate styled head, instead of just a recolored Optimus head. This version of Nemesis Prime might just be my definitive choice for the character in my collection.

Having the minicon-targetmaster sword is so cool too. This figure is just packed with so many fun add-ins. I only wish he had a few more 5mm ports for places to store weapons.
And a better way to place his bird buddy on him, cause it'd be cool for him to have the bird on his shoulder or something. Maybe give him a cloak too

And he came with a Dark Saber! Which I'll have Armada Megs hold onto, cause he needs a more properly sized sword

So awesome.

I was finally able to get my Terrorcons out and get the upgrade kit installed.

I gotta say, I absolutely LOVE the way it looks now. The added bulk is perfect in my opinion. The style of the hands fits the character perfectly and the new add is a huge improvement.

But……

….The added weight is too much. Apparently all of my Terrorcons have very week ratchets, because it likes to fall over very easily, and it's always a joint (hips or knees) collapsing under the weight. I'm fairly confident that when I finally get the chance to put my figures on display again, I will be able to get him posed in a way that he won't fall over. However, I definitely see this being an issue if I ever want to take pictures of him.

Overall, I don't regret getting the kit.

Here's one more from my big haul…

Windcharger, which I couldn't remember if I had another version, when I checked, turns out that he really doesn't have many figures after all and this would be the latest one I believe.

I was getting it regardless as I didn't have this version and being one that offers a driver's seat for headmaster or such, I wasn't passing on it.

And of course, no weapons as the others from this line, so my Nonnef weapon set to the rescue! But sadly, it's the first that I can't find a way to put it on in alt/car mode so it's going in the seat.
