I believe most of what makes Nimrod (or any Sentinel, for that matter) such a threat is the ability to rapidly analyze the powers of a mutant combatant and develop counter measures to neutralize said target. While Nimrod certainly has plenty of power at its disposal, I've seen it overwhelmed, severely damaged, and even retreat.

Nimrod is quite deadly, for sure, but I'd rank a few other mechanized monstrosities a bit higher on the threat scale. While nowhere near as sentient as Nirmod, The Fury is considerably unrelenting. Several alternate reality Captain Britains were killed by The Fury and it nearly took out a fairly powerful assortment of X-men that included Bishop, Cannonball, Storm, and Rachel in their ranks. Both characters share similar abilities but The Fury seems significantly more durable as a byproduct of the Jaspers Warp. Also, The Fury can analyze and adapt to any super-being, while I believe Nimrod may be limited to mutants (I'm not exactly sure).

I have no idea what Nimrod's been up to post 2010ish, so maybe there have been new wrinkles added. Anything is possible in modern Marvel. For instance, I just found out that Sunspot is Earth's physically strongest mutant and is in league with the Hulk now (???)...he's also no longer Afro-Brazilian (???).

Anyway, tethering this back to toys in my effort stay on topic: Now that I have Nimrod, I'm not sure where I stand with this amalgam. The figure representation is somewhere between old and new Nimrod...I like it for what it is, but it does seem a bit weird.
