The excitement of San Diego Comic-Con heralds the beginning of a thrilling season for toy enthusiasts. During this period, companies are set to showcase their latest creations, and GameSpot is privileged to provide an exclusive sneak peek at some upcoming collectibles from Hasbro.
Hasbro is known for regularly launching new toys based on popular movie and TV franchises. This year, fans can anticipate a dark rendition of a beloved Transformer character, a nod to the original GI Joe film, and a host of Star Wars memorabilia. Exclusively through GameSpot, we delve into the details of the upcoming Nemesis Prime, Pythona, and various Star Wars collectibles that will soon be available at conventions and the Hasbro Pulse online store.
Among the highlights for Transformers enthusiasts is the introduction of the new Nemesis Prime action figure. Priced at $75, this Voyager-class figure is inspired by the Transformers Armada series and comes complete with his Mini-Con allies: Runway, Jetstorm, and Sonar.
Modeled after the Autobot leader Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime is notorious for his destructive intentions against all Transformers. He featured prominently in several episodes of the Armada series, showcasing his remarkable regenerative abilities even after sustaining critical damage. The new Nemesis Prime figure can transform from robot to truck mode in 21 steps. His Mini-Cons are capable of converting into an airline, jet airliner, and space shuttle configurations. When combined, these Mini-Cons form a formidable saber weapon.
