    Yeah, both the blue and red are darker.

    But honestly, I think that is why the Gold in person isn't so much slapping you in the face....if he was original Prime colors, the Gold would be much brighter looking. The darker shades combined with black mutes is rather nicely. And the fact it's not all super shiny, like Pimp shiny, it has a more matte finish to most of the....Ghrome....which means it's not glass smooth, but it works.

    Ok, got my YOTH Prime today. I haven't taken out of the box yet. Any known issue with your Prime? I want to look it over and make sure there is no issue.

    Got my YotH Prime yesterday. Pictures DO NOT do this guy justice. The deco works so well once you have it in hand. The gold chrome doesn't clash at all. It is proudly welcome in my MP display.

    Cant wait to get mine. I cancelled my TRU PO and ordered a Standard grade from BBTS yesterday.

    It seems that BBTS is getting some in that are Standard Grade. So be careful in which one you are ordering. If you go to their site right now and put 100 in the quantity you will see they have 8 left in SUBSTANDARD grade and 92 on order for Standard grade. So it looks like there will be plenty of these to go around this time unlike MP10.

    None that I noticed. Just that once you transform him a few times the painted blue metal bar that locks his torso / cab transformation into place will start chipping paint off due to transformation, and watch the silver on the fender wells as well when folding them up into the chest. The bar is predominately hidden in both modes, so unless you want a MIB freshness....it's fine. But no issues aside from the Axe being backwards. And the gun doesn't store tightly in the trailer.

    It is much more subtle in person, if anyone is on the fence about this version and you don't already have an MP-10, or even if you do....this version is nice in hand. I bought mine because I wanted an MP-10, but refuse to pay $300 for one.... It's not G1 accurate, but it's still Prime. If I just wanted the mold, I'd have bought the Black Prime, or waited for Magnus....but I wanted an Optimus, not a repainted new character from the mold, and this version is a great stand in, until if ever I get the standard MP-10....likely no.

    That's because it's not a TURd...I mean TRU exclusive only.... I wish Hasbro would let BBTS have a part in all MP releases....it's bullshit to think Rip Off's R US is solely handling non variant MP releases exclusively. F@#k Them.

    They never have enough, and they sell the damn thing hours before they are supposed to, leaving many to miss out only to pay out the ass later. Not to mention hardly ever have any in the damn store. That is why I am trying to get the Takara Magnus instead of waiting it out for a Hasbro release....only to end up paying $279 or more anyway....nope, f@#k you TRU.

    I think having amazon or HTS partake in MP releases would be a good idea as well. Not just BBTS.

    I have looked at couple of the MP YOTH Primes on the shelf in a few TRU stores. This figure is beautiful. I would buy one of these if I hadn't gotten the regular version 18 months ago. If you missed Hasbro MP-10 last time around this is a great substitute.

    Love this guy. He looks great. I'm a dick head about opening my stuff. This item works for because I don't feel it matters opening him. And best yet the clear trailer is the first thing that has not blocked my remote from working my surround bar on the mantle.

    everyone that complained about the clear trailer should see this, still has to do the inside but this took one hr from start to this point, in less than 2 hrs u can have an awesome mid cloak trailer, that is super Rad imo ( WIP by DevorjakPrime)

    Did you use a paint marker for this application? It appears that this will look really nice when completed. I like the transitional squaring on the top of the trailer. You have given this trailer the gift of the "light bending" camouflage technique.

    I've had him since BBTS released him, and i know he's not the regular colors, but considering the option of paying $300+.... I'm more than happy with this version of MP-10. I really like the trailer, right now it's acting as a display tier for Bluestreak and Smokescreen to stand on behind Sideswipe and Prowl.

    Saw BOTH YOTH figure at my TRU recently. Prime looks AMAZING, as usual. Starscream looks really nice.

    I don't know why, but I always seem to like OP better when he's not the standard red and blue. Even if it's darker, I still like it better.

    Yeah, my picks for best versions are

    1) YOTH MP10
    2) MP10B Nemesis Prime
    3) Takara MP10
    and WAAAAAY 4th is Hasbro MP10 - the blue used on that one just makes him look cheap as hell.

    I expect MP22 is going to bump Takara MP10 down

    I would love the blue cab black leg version from the diaclone Magnus.
