    I saw a listing for a G1 '82 Optimus with slight paint differences in the mask and the forehead emblem. The seller indicated this was a very rare find. Is this true? I have the same one and noticed it is different than the other Optimus paint jobs. Anybody have any ideas whether this guy is telling the truth? Thanks.

    The auction ended, so I don't have it. But where the face mask is normally silver, there's a strip of blue paint down the center. Where normally the forehead emblem is fully silver, this one is blue with the borders silver. Everything else about the OP is the same.

    It just sound's like a regular Optimus with paintwear on the silver parts. I had one like that too & that was the problem.
