I doubt that the "Mudflap" plate will be rare much longer as more and more of the waves are shipped. So far, I know of 4 deluxe movie toys with running changes:
Sideways: 1. Dark Silver-> 2. Lighter silver
Breakaway: 1. Brown-> Lighter brown
Skids: 1. Unpainted teeth-> 2. Painted teeth
Mudlap: 1. Trax license plate-> 2. Mudflap license plate

On a Related note: 1. Scout Detour-> 2. Scout Dead End (rename only)

This proves that Hasbro is trying hard to improve their products to be more movie accurate, therefore reducing the need for a Premium Series (which Hasbro said that they have no plans for anyway).

I agree with that view.

But has anyone heard anything about a revision wave case that has more Sideswipe in it that is now shipping where the sideswipe has shiny paint ?

I read a sighting for it today and I'm just waiting for image confirmation on it.

I'm guessing it's probably a batch change like the windows on Cannon Bumblebee now being semi-transluscent rather than semi-Opaque.

I found one of these "Mudflap" variants yesterday and just curious how rare of a figure this really is.
