3rd party group, Mastermind Creations, has announced the next release in their Reformatted line – Optus Nox. Optus Nox is a black version of the company’s very popular (and super articulated) Optus Pexus. But that’s not all! Optus Nox will include some new accessories including a cloth goods cape, an alternate head with a shattered faceplate and a sword with the matrix in the hilt.
No release date or price is provided in their social media update, but there are a lot of nice pictures to review in the meantime. Check those out after the jump.

That and the side hip skirts can shear off if you aren't careful of moving them out of the legs way.
Also, my Nox copy benefitted greatly from lightly lubing all the joints with shock oil. Some of them were very tight.

The main thing to watch out for on this mold is making sure that the flaps at the rear of the knees are fully extended before collapsing the legs

Transformation isn’t dangerous at all unless you manhandle it. There’s also a transformation tips video on MMC’s youtube channel.

If anyone in the lower 48 conUS is still looking for a nox I'm gonna sell my copy. It's the psx version that has the extra head for optus pexus. No I won't sell the head separately. No trades. $185 paypal friends and family. Box was damaged in customs but figure is fine. Pics on request. Shipped within 24 hours after payment with pics proving shipment unless paid on weekend and Monday falls on holiday. I love the figure but I need auto repairs and a new ac unit at home.

Nox has arrived, and he is GLORIOUS!View attachment 30086137View attachment 30086138
So, important question: how dangerous is it to transform him? I'm getting the feeling I won't really understand how he moves unless I do that.
Also, any tips on swapping the face? His seems stuck.
BioBlade
Fingers crossed!

Grab it while you can. Nox is the hardest to get of the 4x retail releases of this mold. It's a bloody great figure too.

I very much am interested!

Thanks, but judging from what I’ve read I think I’ll be looking for a Nox.

Nox has a bonus face piece based on the famous comic scene of optimus yelling at the autobot senate with a broken faceplate. That ends up suiting Nox well as an additional angry face.
He also has the red blade starsaber sword while sg has the pink bladed large axe. Personally I prefer the sword since its lighter and can be easily 1 handed while the axe is a bit unwieldy for the pexus mold.
SG also has a unique right front screen piece with a sculpted in shattered window effect. The limited copies of it had bullet holes added to his chest panels and some extra weathering detail painted on some edges.
Both come with black cloaks but I find nox's suits him better since it results in making him evoke Guts from Berserk between the face, his sword and it. Whereas it stands out a bit too much on SG doesn't quite vibe with his look as much.
The Optus Prominon version of the figure has its own Optimus head sculpt, revised sculpt parts on its waist, chest, forearms and the much cooler large rifle set. And comes with both the axe and sword of the previous color versions.

SG comes with the huge axe, Nemesis comes with a sword. Otherwise all the other accessories are the same.

Question! Are there any big differences between Nox and Servered Geist? Aside from paint stuff I mean. I'm trying to decide between them.

I just wish that the "Severed Geist" version ALSO came with the broken face-plate head that Nox came with…

Definitely not soon. Probably not ever as is, though they could possibly do another black version with different tooling.

Most likely knowing MMC, but if you don't want to wait I have one I'll sell for what I paid (table in Canada). DM me if interested man. Cheers

Do we know if this guy will ever be getting another run?

The Berserker armor one is my favorite piece I own. If I had to rescue one figure form a fire it'd be that one. Easily.
