    I reckon a lot of these photos weren't meant to be seen, or hadn't been fully edited. The same for the photos of MP-45 (maybe the usual editor was given both jobs to do at once?).

    I pre-ordered a few things from them. They don't have an easy way to cancel your order from the site. You have to email them asking to cancel, but they do allow it at least.

    Bluestreak looks awesome! This plus version is not merely a repaint, it's a true upgrade! Really looking forward to his release. Don't dare to imagine how wicked Smokescreen could turn out when they give him the plus treatment...!

    He looks amazing, him, Wheeljack and Shockwave have been easily the best repaints

    Come on, ebay Bluestreak, sell so I can fund this guy! He's out at TFExpress for any UK peeps here and at a very good price might I add....

    What else can they do to + Smokescreen, he already has the toon face and wheels on his arms. TT is not going to remold parts to distinguish him anymore.

    1st of all the silver can be repainted white, and the company logos will be removed.

    Second of all after the Bluestreak retooling I wouldn’t be so sure about no more retools.

    I'd be very interested in a smoke effect for Smokescreen+ too!

    Don't even care much for Smokescreen but I'd be in for a + version on the level of MP-18+. Especially with smoke effects!

    Cheapest place to get this guy in the US? These TT Mall exclusives always have me bouncing all over the place.

    There are possibly cheaper options through eBay upon release, but I put my preorder in at Toy Dojo (link). Eddie (the owner) has amazing service so in case something is wrong with yours, you'll definitely get taken care of.

    A3U (link below) has him for $79.95 USD, and ships free.

    For all the Canadians, it's $110 CAD. Which is about $83 USD.

    Ya know, I realized that when viewed in close-up, the neutral face's chin doesn't bother me, even though it's big. From further away, the trapezoid shape kind of blends into his lips and looks like a big frown, which was throwing me off a little bit before. For whatever that's worth.
