Anyone know what this is? It really looks like a Matrix should attach there, but the Siege/Earthrise/Etc. one is too small, and the Titans Return one is too big. I don't have SS 86 Optimus, so maybe that one is the right size?
Think the SS86 Matrix is the same as the Earthrise one?
Hmmm. Then the mystery remains.
Maybe compatibility with Bruticus?
Is there some similar type of attachment point on him?
No idea, but it would make sense for Nexus to be compatible with something other than just Silverbolt.
Like his own frame that he should have had from the begining?
100% agree with this!
If they ever do a box set with Nexus where he comes with his own torso, I would still consider picking him up to have one version of him standing in with the 13 and one with him in his combined mode.
Why not have one version of him in his combined mode standing in with the 13?
Fine!Why not have one version of him in his combined mode standing in with the 13?
If his alt mode is supposed to be "Jet Tank," then I want them to take inspiration from Baklava Prime over there and have the part we have now be the jet, and combine with the frame that is the trailer/tank to make a full jet tank.
Mmm...Baklava. Sounds delicious!
Well, some early pre-reveiw notes popping up on different boards suggest my speculation about a Nexus/Onslaught compatibility were wrong. Looks like Superion-only. Now to wait for reviews for full confirmation. Strange, though, if it really IS that limited, I don't understand why they'd make Nexus that specialized since the alt-mode was very 'because we say so' styled. You'd think it would be more flexible.
Just baffling. I imagined the whole point of doing Superion and Bruticus at the same time was that they had Nexus in mind. They're exactly the combiners needed, and they're such guaranteed sellers that they would almost subsidize this guy. Everything could be designed together to make sure it all worked.
I've been saying the exact thing, and I would have bet money on it being this way, but...apparently not. This team does a lot of clever things with their figures, but also some head scratching moments too.
I still wish the original Nexus had used the crane limb (since it's the best of the Energon limb molds) instead of the jet limb that had been used for Breakaway (since it's the worst of the Energon limb molds). The name "Breakaway" can still fit a construction vehicle in the context of it "breaking" things in a crushing or crumbling sense.
