iGear shop has listed orders for a trio of new Faith Leaders. All three are limited editions, and they are the “want to be Lucky Draws” gold and silver Faith Leaders, and the “can you hear that?” unpainted version. Yes, a limited edition variant that’ll set you back $130 is an unpainted variation of this knock-off downsized Masterpiece Optimus Prime. The unpainted one is limited to 5 pieces, with the gold and silver ones limited to 50 pieces each.

Nice, thanks!

Agreed, I like having options. At the end of the day you make the choice… like it, being able to afford it and then if you want, buy it.

I don't see anything wrong with offering variety. Unless your a hardcore Prime collector and want to get everything (wich would hurt the wallet), you can pick your favorite deco right off the bat, I think it's great. I'm personally only interested in the standard Prime and Magnus deco and I don't care about the others, but it's cool that people that like black Prime, or clear, or gold stuff can get one of those too.
The mold is there, why not use it to it's fullest?

Yeah, I love grey prototypes too. I remember seeing the first pics os Alternators Smokescreen. It looked so bad ass in that flat grey. Then they colored him and he wasn't as detailed anymore. Another example was seeing the first prototype of MP Starscream… The prototype of the toy we didn't get.

I, for one, love those shots. There is a ton of detail that gets lost in translation.
for instance, the prototype of Leader Class Starscream had crazy detail on it. I feel a lot of that kinda faded when the color molding came into play.

+1… I feel the same exact way you do about gray protos and would have jumped on this one, had they not sold out right away.

I got 2 of the original 3 with plans to get one of the reruns for Faith Leader. But seeing how they are spamming this mold shamelessly now, I've decided to stop buying at all. I hope their dumb tactics backfire on others as well. Here's a rundown of what they have currently:
1) Faith Leader
2) Nemesis Leader
3) Clear Leader
4) Golden
5) Silver
6) All Clear
7) Special Grey Version
And they have revealed manuals for the following:
8) Ultra Leader (Magnus)
9) Evil Leader (Shattered Glass)

Have they even put out a second run of the regular colored Prime yet? I seem to remember reading that they were supposed to at some point.
