Mastermind Creations Seraph Prominion(aka Nova Prime), Part 1, Core Unit.

SERAPH PROMINION, aka NOVA PRIME.

Seraph Prominion/Nova Prime/Nemesis Prime
was the predecessor to Nominus Prime. Once the elite soldier Nova Major, he led the unification of a divided Cybertron, ascending to leadership of his people. An expansionist and a supremacist, Nova Prime believed thatTransformers were the greatest among all life forms and that they should bring their glory to the myriad of lesser races throughout the universe.
After being sucked into the Dead Universe, Nova was chosen to be the host for the Darkness, an otherworldly counterpart of the Matrix of Leadership which worked by transforming the inhabitants of the Dead Universe into undead wielders of anti-life. Upon merging, Nova was reborn as the sinister and extremely powerful Nemesis Prime. He now sees it as his mission to fulfil the Darkness' imperative by expanding the Dead Universe's hold into the living realm...

Alt mode 360 GIF.

From above.

Bottom.
The fists is really hard to fit in the side panel of the truck mode, I am having difficulty on transform that part, barely fit, the rest is ok to me.

Comparing with Generations Arcee and CW Optimus Prime alt mode. Not as big as Prime, because Prime is a bit of over large than other bots in the series.

I would prefer the knee pad is position like this, it is a Cybertronian truck anyway, haha.

Robot mode 360 GIF.

Close up. It would rather look a bit like Soundwave...

Close up on the chest area, there is a lots of details on it, with some clear parts too, look awesome.

The instruction teaches how the knee pad should be like, meh.

A lots of small details on the legs too.

There is two small panel with yellow circle on the back of the leg panel, it can open up to cover inner leg hollow area. I didn't do it in the beginning because I found it out when I almost finish the photographing.

Chest plate open up to reveal the dark Matrix, Anti-Matrix.

"Power of the Darkness!!"

Close up details on the Anti-Matrix.

Back of the Matrix.

The helmet is removable to reveal the silly head... Very funny, haha, like panda.

Double ball-joint neck, very good articulations. At the time I finish up all the photographing, the lower ball-joint is getting very loose, can't even hold the head up properly. (applied some super glue on the ball peg, but to get the peg remove from the neck, it is quite pain in the a**, tight...)

Double hinged elbow joint, but this is how much it can do.

Swivel waist joint, can do 360 if wanted.

The knee joint is actually double ratchet hinge, can do more than 100 degrees turn.

"Damn't, Autobots is fool, why they don't learn from mistakes?"
The shoulder joint can do this pose too. By the way, the fingers is all separated.

The weapons included in this "core" box, two glow-in-the-dark blade.

This is the only parts that include in this box, no other weapons. In fact, this two blades doesn't fit the peg hole on the hand too. Well, because this two blades is meant to be hold by full armor Seraph Prominion.
[MMC, I want weapons for 'Core' Prominion, please~~~?]

Very nice gimmick for the blades, but not many owners like it...

Compare to Hexatron's blade. Both almost the same, just only the hilt is a little larger on the glowing blade.
(curious about the Mandarin words on the blades? Check my previous MMC blog post. Click Hexatron.)

Wielded the original blades.
(oh my, damn't cool!)

Seraph Prominion blades special attack!!

The story that Seraph Prominion pass the blades to Terminus Hexatron. (MMC original stories)

Compare to Henkei and Generations series.

Marvel Legends Ben Reilly The Spider-Man.

BEN REILLY THE SPIDER-MAN.

Ben Reilly/Spider-Man.
Benjamin 'Ben' Reilly, also known as the Scarlet Spider, Spider-Man, and Spider-Carnage.

Ben Reilly was the most genetically stable of the many clones of Spider-Man created by Professor Miles Warren, the Jackal. Warren created clones of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy from tissue samples he had obtained from a class experiment. After many failed attempts, most notably Kaine, Warren succeeded in creating a clone that did not suffer cellular degeneration.
The Jackal pitted this clone against Spider-Man in a deathtrap involving a bomb and Ned Leeds. The Jackal on scene, a clone of Warren, repented and saved Ned, dying as a result. With both Spider-Man and Spider-Man's clone unconscious, the real Jackal emerged, found who he thought was the real Spider-Man, and injected him with a drug to simulate death. The other Spider-Man awoke and dropped the "dead" body in a smokestack, where the Jackal implanted it with clone memories. However, his assistant, Seward Trainer, himself coerced by the Green Goblin, had deceived the Jackal. The Spider-Man the Jackal recovered was the clone after all.

360 GIF.

Head height is around 6.3 inches.

Close up on the normal Spider-Man head.

Carnage version.

Compare to Carnage head. Both head is almost the same, except the peg hole is a little bit smaller than Carnage.

Including four different kind of hands. Web shooting hand, open hand, fist and Carnage claw(same with carnage, only different colors), the first ML series I got with that lots of hand parts.

Neck articulations wise.

Arms articulations is not bad, with chest/shoulder joint.

Waist swivel and hinge below chest area.

Leg articulations wise.

Not bad for a Hasbro action figures.

This pose doing by only two hands, stability is not bad too.

Comparing to Carnage.

Carnage(s) is coming!

Marvel Legends action figures line up.

-Stories-
Carnage is sabotaging the city, Spider-Man come to stop his destructive action.

"Carnage, stop whatever you are doing!"
"Is you... You are dead man, Spider-Man!"

Spider-Man shoot his web towards Carnage.

The web is just a distraction, he is taking the second move.

But fail, Carnage block his strong kick...

...and Carnage counter attack.

He slam Spider-Man on the ground.

"Hahaha! You think your tricks will fool me?"

Spider-Man kicked away Carnage.

And quickly get close to Carnage.

Another strong kick to the jaw!

Come with speed blows! Right hook! Left hook! Upper cut!

Dual rocket kick!

Wow, Carnage is down? That was easy.

"You are going to jail, Carnage..." Spider-Man is taking Carnage to custody.

"!?"
Carnage suddenly turn a around and grab Spider-Man head.

"Hahahahaha, I know you'll fell for it. Now, you are mine. Become Carnage like me, feel the pleasure of killing, destruction and lust for blood..."

"Muahahahahaha! Now you become my brother!"

Spider-Man was infected the Carnage symbiote, turning to another Carnage!

"I have always wanted a younger brother, muahahaha! Go, do as you like, fulfill your lust for bloods!!"

"ROOAARR---!!"
City is in danger! Two Carnage, double the damage!!
