With the release of a transformable 70cm tall Autobot Ark in 2021, it made sense for Hasbro to come up with a transformable Decepticon ship too. Enter the Transformers Legacy: Evolution Titan Class Decepticon Nemesis, inspired by the G1 animated series.
She transforms from ship to robot mode in 36 steps, and stands at 60cm tall in robot mode.
The lower wing of the ship unfolds to allow the ship to sit on its hull, and opens up a loading ramp in the rear, located below the thrusters. Apart from featuring multiple turrets on its surface, there are also two retractable bridges on each side of the ship which house landing platforms for a pair of Seeker micro fighters. These are similarly located on each forearm of the Nemesis when it’s in robot mode.
The design of her head/helmet is clearly inspired by the Decepticon logo. The designers have incorporated subtle elements of the coronation crown (as seen on Starscream) into the helm. It also features a modular battle mask that opens up to reveal Nemesis’ face.
The Nemesis features detachable shin guards that transform into blaster cannons and her upper shoulder canards can be separated as hatchets for up close attack. When all else fails, she has her deadly razor claws to rip her enemies apart.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison with the Ark which we unboxed and reviewed back in 2021. It sure is a worthy nemesis for the Autobot, and the perfect pairing for any Transformers collector.
The Transformers Legacy: Evolution Decepticon Nemesis is out now in Singapore on The Falcon’s Hangar, Robo Robo and Hasbro Pulse for S$319.90. Or if you live in the US, it is available on Amazon.
