Nemesis Prime, never heard of him until recently and only because he showed up as a limited edition Alternators figure. According to the press release issued by Hasbro, the only way to acquire him would be in person (a limited number for sale each day) at the San Diego Comic-Con Hasbro booth or to order him from HasbroToyShop at 9am on Thursday.

Since my sorry ass was stuck in NYC at work, I tried from 8:30am until lunch, refreshing every so often to see if I could place my order. From the thread over at Seibertron, the CSR had no idea what was going on, and I'm pretty sure no one placed a successful order. It went from 'Coming soon' straight to 'Out of stock'. What a mess.

Fortunately Jeremy was attending and managed to grab one for me. I owe him a big fat wet one. Along with the Binaltech WheelJack I acquired on eBay last week, my collection has ballooned from 1 (Smokescreen courtesy of Tomo) to 3 in one week.

Oh and for the Spider-Man fans, Jer also sent this crappy GIF (but it shows enough, look to your left) of the symbiote dropping from the ceiling in a church, engulfing Eddie Brock and turning into Venom. SICK.
