    Black repaint zzzzzzzz -- huh? What? Oh, sorry.

    Seriously, this is such a lazy deco. If it'd been more akin to a Nemesis-style redeco of PM Prime, sure, but....uuuuuugh. Total skip/

    I hope this awful repaint dies quietly, allowing an actual Nucleon Quest Super Convoy to come out.

    so....the monochromatic mp sunstreaker is amazing because it is a faithful recreation of his cartoon appearance, even though the mold already is lacking in details, and then the paint is just all yellow, but this is awful because .....?

    Because many people on this board will let Takara do anything cuz they're "perfect" and Hasbro "sucks".
    So, blind loyalty.

    And considering the massive logo, who can say the deco wasn't Primitive's idea.

    @Sol Fury
    Given that Primitive Skateboarding is US based, I doubt it's a collab with Takara.

    It also looks more like a Hasbro-style stock photo.

    When was the last time Hasbro did such a weird-ass collaboration? Calvin Johnson Megatron?

    Wow, another black Optimus Prime redeco. Can anyone honestly say they didn't see this coming?

    This is using the hasbro mold. Takara could still do one.

    Total skip cause it probably wasn't done by Takara. Nucleon Quest Super Convoy's vehicle mode was all black except for the normal Prime Trailer detail. Which isn't much. This is all black except for the large amount of trailer detailing, with a brand logo, Grey guns, and blue on the cab. I swear if this was Takara you'd be buying 3.
    "I hope a product fails because I don't like it and instead want a product very similar to it to be made, because the original version was buy Takara. This is totally not a selfish and rude desire and totally not showing a major problem the TF community has had for years. No, it's me supportively saying 'dudes I know you probably went through a lot to make a deal with this company and license them to make product for you, but I hope it goes down the drain for *cough cough my own selfish desires cough cough* needs of the fanbase.'"
    No offense dude but seriously.
    Takara didn't make it. And you know Takara and G1 are the "Gods" of Transformers.
    Finally someone else pointing out this problem. You're my new best friend in the TF community.
    We owe it all to Pepsi Prime and Cookie Crisp Jazz

    Fair point, I was unaware of the details. And I'd forgotten things like the Linkin Park Soundwave.

    Well as much as I love black repaints, this one is rather dull looking. Combine that with the fact that it's a collab I couldn't care less about with a price tag that's probably going to be higher then the figures worth, and you get an extremely easy pass.
