    Short answer - Yes.

    Not everybody has the same skill set with regards to paint application and other mods. So, using a base that's readily available is better suited for this. Now, if you have the money to get the exclusive, then good for you.. You as in everybody.

    My post is in general terms... If someone else were to use an exclusive figure, like the Dark Energon Megs, which costs more than the retail version, then they have to be careful with it if they do paint/mod it. Now, since you did choose to use the Dark Energon version, then caution is now moot.

    Just a quick update. I got word from AgesThreeAndUp.com that they are down to 4 kits left. If your on the fence, better decide quickly. Once these are gone, thats it.

    One thing I forgot to note in the original post is that each kit comes with a collectors card, which is numbered out of 100. Heres a photo showing one of the cards.

    Sucked in and bought one. I'm too much of a Galvatron fan boy not to. I also happen to have an extra Prime Megs lying around. Time to practice my painting.

    What kind of brushes do you use for the face? Need some fine details it seems.

    According to the email they sent me,they plan to send all kits by the 18th. They told me this because they were warning me to pay by the 16th or else I'll miss out the Tuesday shipment.

    Mine just came in the mail today, #56 of 100. Looks pretty nice, didn't get a chance to mess with it though, had to go to work.

    Can't wait to see a fully painted set from some of the more skilled Radicons here.

    I just hope that someone like X-Transbots or Dr. Wu mass produces this set. Maybe Renderform can contact someone to license a mass produced verison?

    ^ I wouldn't be averse to the idea either. I have a custom painted TFP Megatron that may look pretty nice with it.

    I just got mine yesterday. Does anyone have any pics of the completed kit aside from the ones in the original post? I'm trying to get some ideas for what I want to do with mine. Which parts to make which colors. Etc.
