    Nice...may have picked this one up if I didn't already have MP10b.

    I really like the art for this, the gold seems more subtle than on the actual toy. Really tempted to get a YOH MP10 and redo his gold in chrome, and display him with a G2 Sideswipe...I think those two figures would look pretty slick on a shelf together

    I'm getting him in a few days or so when BBTS gets him in. I missed MP-10, and refuse to pay the money he goes for. So, even though he's not the original, I want him. I have MP-01 Hasbro 20th Anniversary, so I have my Regular colored Prime fix. I love the transparent trailer, probably my favorite part. I don't mind the gold, but I'm so glad they didn't make the rims gold too, that would have been too much.

    I agree, I think this would be fine substitute for the original MP-10

    Honestly I'm not sure if this worth picking up. I love the dark red deco but I really detest the gold.

    Strange..as always the case the original line art looks so much better before it gets jazzed up & stuff.

    Like the art better than the figure. The gold is more toned down-if the figure actually looked like this? It would be a better figure-though it gives me ideas as to how one could pretty easily do some repaint on the gold and achieve the same effect. And the nice thing is repainting the gold portions is easy given their location on the figure.

    I'm probably going to stick something in his chest to black out the widows during bot mode, the gold doesn't bother me in truck mode, but the gold in the windshield in bot mode does a little.
