New pictures of Transformers Animated Roll Out Optimus Prime have surfaced on eBay thanks to power seller etoyshunter
In the auction there is a comparison shot of Prime next to (and dwarfing) Leader Class Bulkhead. To see the auction click here.
etoyshunter is also selling the Japanese version of Universe Nemesis Prime. The main difference between this version and the SDCC version is the colour of the windows and the colour of the weapons, while minor differences can be found in the paint scheme.
Check out this interesting auction here.

1. So big he can't scale with any of the other toys.
2. Transforms automatically... giant activator?
Nemesis Prime:
1. I only wish.
2. MMMMMM

Man, those Animated transformers are gross.

Supreme Prime however is the worst abomination of toy I have ever seen.

1) What's this got to do with Nemesis Prime?
2) Why is everyone saying this Prime is so bad?
EDIT ~ Wait, I see. The guy's also selling Nemesis Prime. And yes, it does look better than the other one.

Thank God that is not Leader OP then. It looks like crap!

1) There's an auction for one
2) Well let's count the ways, crappy alt mode, no good storage for the axe, and the transformation looks really lazy.

Please bring me a 2008 Wonderfest Henkei Nemesis Prime this year. I promise to be a good boy. I won't nab Animated toys from children's hands when I got to Toys R Us. I can't promise anything with Universe though - I'm sure you understand. I'll also try not to criticize Hasbro's paint jobs, or Takara's quality control/chrome placement. I'll try real hard not to complain about scalper prices on eBay and how long it takes my orders to arrive. And I'll only mention Botcon Exclusive seekers if absolutely necessary.
Thank you so much Santa! Tell Rudolph I say hi.

P.S. If I bribe you with extra cookies, will it help? You can count on seeing more gingerbread this year!

Agreed. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought animated prime had a large caboose.
That Nemesis Prime looks gorgeous, tho, IMO. He would be fun to have sit next to my Shattered Glass Prime.

It's also awfully ironic to see the "NOT FOR SALE" on his shoulder.

1.Yeah, you do have a point, considering those are RED AUTOBOT Symbols on him.
2. Not exactly good buisness selling a "not for sale" toy now, is it?

Yeah, he's definitely a Black Convoy and NOT a Nemesis Prime. Hate it when Japan does that. I'd rather he have the upside-down G2 Autobot logo Scourge had than on his shoulders than a regular Autobot symbol. It looks like I may have to buy both Nemeis Prime and Black Convoy. I love black repaints, namely Nemesis Primes, and I love the Classics Prime molds. So that's excuse enough for me. One day I'll post pictures of my black TF collection.
I don't get why a Japanese toy would have English writing on it. Instead of "NOT FOR SALE", shouldn't it say something like "ない販売のために"?

Nemesis Prime looks infinitely etter, but oddly has Autobot logos.

My only worry is wondering how much they're gonna raise the price of Supremes now.......
Blegh...
I cant imagine...

Does anyone know anything more about the Black Classics Prime? Is this an exclusive?

Many childred don't pay for their toys with their allowance any more. It's over-induldent parents and whiney children saying "I want it! I want it!" that this toy is marketed at.

As for this roll out version, i not liking the design much, especially Prime's bumper hugely sticking out of Prime's bottom in robot mode! I guess what makes it cooler is just it's size and gimmicks.
Voyager Prime's Axe is all kinds of ugly...

yeah i agree. but for me it's better for the weapon to be ugly instead of the character itself.
