    Yeah, they're kinda cool. I used one in a skit recently:

    They have probably the most seamless vehicle modes ever. I can't think of any spychangers that have robot parts showing for any angle.

    Also, as far as I'm aware, Prime and Megatron weren't released to the European market (or at least I never saw them in the UK). The two waves of six, I have (excepting Mirage), but I never knew about the leader redecoes of the moulds until I first saw them online.
    Admittedly, they are, to all intents and purposes, direct translations of Firecracker and Blowout, only with the clear parts replaced with solid equivalent colours, and some repainting.

    I only have one actual G2 Gobot, but it's rather relevant to this thread:

    He's damn near perfect MOSC. Cost me $60 from Elvin Pena, at Botcon 06 :)

    Hmm, makes me kinda regret opening up my sealed one.
    Regardless, it cost $15 about 2 years ago.

    That is the VERY HARD TO FIND Japanese version. It has a tempo on the hood and a sticker on the front. If you ever decide to sell it LMK

    Oh and nice find...
