    for starters that toy is terrible. just buy yourself the ROTF leader prime. it's of Masterpiece quality. and you really don't need to do much to it for it to be a great toy. ;)

    I'd sell that one and buy yourself a ROTF Optimus.

    Mine has been in vehicle mode since the ROTF version came out. It's passable in semi-mode.

    I did pick up the Reprolabels kit: Reprolabels.com - Movie Upgrade Set #4 Liked the added detail, but stay away from the creepy mouth...

    The hands and the wheels are already pretty good and the sword and gun are impossible to find on their own. So yeah you're pretty much done.

    Someone on Ebay. Looks like a loose complete one sells for anywhere between $20 and $30.

    I just got $27 plus shipping on ebay for the Premium version. It's not worth a lot anymore.

    You can switch those rubber wheels with ROTF leader. Not bad for $10. You can even mod the hands if you want but that's a lot more work.

    Some day I plan on making mine into a movie Ultra Magnus with trailer armor. Otherwise I'd never use it again.

    I don't think its a bad toy on its own but definitely pales in comparison to rotf. I bought the nightwatch one as a stand in for movieverse nemesis
