The disappointing thing is, Nexus has at least TWO sets of components they could’ve drawn on.
Funpub: Heatwave, Skyfall, Topspin, Landquake and Breakaway.
Or
Covenant of Primus: Mainspring, Chandrive, Clocker, Pinion and Cannonspring.
Hell, they could have even made him a Duocon torso of 2...
I think the lack of info on Nexus‘s packaging for the ‘first combiner’ and thus the confusion until Hasbro reveals all, is going to be… awkward. Which is a shame, because Nexus is the second most well known original Prime behind Vector.
Liege as a Leader works, since Titan Liege would have been...
The Liege and Nexus reveals are equal parts impressive and confusing. Liege looks as G2 as possible and this very very good. Though making the spiky horned piece part of his back rather than being part of his head is… odd. I mean, it still looks good and probably makes head articulation better...
Agreed. It’s an odd choice by Hasbro, especially since his component bots are so well know from the funpub set. Plus some alternatives from (I think) the old Prime universe War for Cybertron books.
That does seem to be the prevailing theory. Also that Nexus might (apparently) by a Silverbolt retool. But yeah, making him a torso to combine with everyone kinda makes sense. Though Hasbro doing actual Nexus limb bots would be nice eventually.
Liege looks amazing. Eldritch in all the right...
I was all for saying the idea of Missing Link Grimlock is cool and not buying it. But seeing those pictures... Damgit! I kinda want it now
Also, green warrior Lio Convoy is strangely very appealing, whether it glows or not. Though I almost hope it does. :)
i Never got the SS86 Hot Rod either, though I did really want that proposed but never released version that almost happened back into the Velocitron subline.
But this? I am definitely getting this Hot Rod to finally go with my Rodimus Prime.
Ha. Now that would’ve been great. Night Cap winds everybody up, but they need him around cause he helps them get good. ;)
Scarlet I kindof ended up writing him into wanted to crack down on Night Cap sometimes, like Rjapsody. But ultimately being unwilling to because he’s to honest and just...
There’s a Babylon 5 term I find perfectly fits Night Cap.
Enlightened Self-Interest. :)
And that’s what makes it comical and tragic. He can be great, but he constantly gets in his own way. Which ends with him crashing down. Its why his clashes with Shadewings Rhapsody was so much fun.
i had...
She was and will remain Mr. Night Caps greatest cheerleader. And the best bit is that behind the fan girl ing, Maple’s not wrong. He is the hero she sees.
Mostly. :)
And that’s the tragic fun of Night Cap. How mainly gets to be the Big Damn Hero(tm) in dreams. While being a Coffee addicted disaster in the real world.
Except for Mey Hem, where he ending up getting to be quite the Knight. :)
