Transformers Legacy Evolution Titan Class Nemesis Figure Is Up for Pre-Order
Tranformers: Rise of the Beasts is headed to theaters on June 9th, but Hasbro's latest figure reveal in the Transformers Legacy Evolution lineup takes us back to the G1 cartoon with the Decepticon Nemesis, which is proper flagship-size at 23.5-inches tall in robot mode. That makes it the largest Decepticon toy ever produced and the first the ever Titan Class female character.
The Transformers Legacy Evolution Titan Decepticon Nemesis figure converts from ship to robot mode in 36 steps and includes a ship tower, 5 blaster accessories, and 4 Seeker micro figures that plug into ports in ship mode. The ship wings can also split apart to become blaster and axe accessories. Pre-orders are live here at Entertainment Earth for $199.99 with free US shipping using the code FREESHIP59 at checkout. It's expected to arrive in August, and you won't be charged until that time.

"When I met Lorenzo and the team, I was like, where are we picking this thing up from? And he was like 1994. And I was just like, that's a great era," Rise of the Beastsdirector Steven Caple Jr. previously said. "You know what I mean? It has a lot of texture. It's, it's rich in texture is also vibrant culturally. And as he said, it has like classic music and there's a certain energy to the nineties that I'm looking forward to capture. Like we've seen it on screen very few times, sometimes you can play into it too much, but I think there's a level of like realness that I could bring to it."
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hits theaters on June 9, 2023.
