I spotted a Sample of this guy on Yahoo Japan so I was wondering if there's any update on when the book is out and how much he is going to cost ?
Or did I miss him already ?

IMHO, poor re-deco and it just doesn't seem like Prime/Convoy to me. That plus the high price makes it a pass.

There's always Replorables….and a side of nail varnish..!
On topic: The Million-Publishing 'Elite Guard' Prime is kinda a big pass for me..

Prime has gained Flintstone-face!

IDK…Initially, I was like wth???, but Prime and Prowl have gotten better looking the more I click on the pix..think I would keep this Prime's faceplate up tho..but if I were lucky enough to buy them I'm sure I could learn to love the gold.
Lock Cade
Same here. I want him and Elite Guard Prowl.

Haha, knowing what jaundice is finally pays off because I get the joke, and it has me loling.

Idk, it just doesn't do it for me.

I like it even better! Now to the long wait….

I want to move to Japan! Well not really, however, I am jealous and love this paint scheme for some odd, strange reason. I think it is way more creative than painting him black…cough**

I could pass on this one…unless the price is right…which is probably won't be.

Personally I like it. Only two small complaints: the placement of the EG emblem (though I admit that one is growing on me, for some reason… maybe because in truck mode it looks like a beauty mark or something) and the blue windows. All that red/black/gold looks so nice together, I feel the blue windows are taking away from it a little bit. I think they would have looked better in smoky transparent grey.
But otherwise, a nice, somewhat odd figure.

Yep, It looks pyro-ish to me
also are these canon?

Disagree on both points. People buy for many different reasons. I don't watch or like the Animated show (as much as I tried), so a frame of reference for me does nothing. If they want to add a couple Elite Guard characters to the lineup as Japanese exclusives, I say the more the merrier. As far as Bumblebee goes, the sub may not be the best part of it, but it is definately a worthwhile addition. I think it is great to see a few different accessories to go with Transformers.

It's a discussion forum. I'm discussing. You may argue if you wish.
And my point is that this one is cool to some people. They all are. Regardless of how you or I feel about a given toy, some are going to like it, and some others aren't. Blanket statements about what "people" or "the fans" want can't be made based on one person's opinion.
And if I were one of the designers, I'd be insulted by your implication that "just a little thought" wasn't put into this toy.

Hmm I already have US EG Bumblebee…..
getting prowl and prime (and my hoped future repaints of ratchet and bulkhead) will not be cheap

The toy won't be available for places outside Japan anyway.
Different places have different taste in coloring.
If people over there says it works then it's their pick. Nothing more beyond that.

I really don't want to argue.
My point was that repaints can be cool, it just seems that a lot of them have been hasily knocked together and that with just a little thought they can be really good.

I really dig this re-paint
