Both of the other Optimus Primes I own (Standard Optimus and SG Optimus) use the Earthrise mold for him, so this is my first experience with the original Siege mold. I'm surprised by just how different (and actually fun) the transformation is. Sure, the mold suffers from the same issue as the other 'Cybertronian' modes from Siege in that it's just a slightly tweaked (and slightly uglier) version of Optimus' Earth mode, but I think the look actually works for Nemesis - he looks more imposing, and I actually like the weird cab roof/back kibble, since it offers up two 5mm peg holes that can be used to stow some of the extra weapons he comes with - namely, he can simultaneously equip his drone backpack and stow either his blaster or his Dark Saber in the other slot in bot mode, or attach his two cannons to his hood in alt mode (the wonky double pegs prevent you from mounting them into any of hsi other ports in truck mode, so that's the only spot for them when transformed). Alternately, you can just stuff everything into his trailer - but what fun would that be? Anyway, he's pretty fun, and I'm enjoying him quite a bit.
