    Believe me dude, she won't. I bought a DLX Optimus Prime in one day, and in the other my mother bumped my Sky Breaker Megatron and he fell in the ground. She thought she had bumped into the new robot, and dude one is gray and the other is blue, one had been in my room for a year and the other had arrived in the day before, still she smh didn't know which one was the new

    Don't you remember lots of missiles shot by the F22s hit him in the same time?

    Yeah still cheap. The poor bastard. Should have had him fight Ironhide but I guess we gotta let the hoomans have the limelight.

    Okay his paint is pretty good compared to another MPMs, mainly when compared to Megatron and Starscream, but not to the point of saying "I can't see how the KO companies could improve it", as I saw many people saying. That paint doesn't compare to the 3P figures paint, this figure will be mind blowing if it gets the Optimus, Ratchet, Starscream and Megatron KOs treatment

    I agree and love his amount of paint. He has all the details where they matter. He transforms into a big & mostly dull colored Heli, so I figure they had an easier time distributing the paint for what is primarily a very simple overall color scheme. His paint still has room for improvement though, and we've already saw a taste of that with the Paint Master version.

    I'm honestly still not over how pretty it looks. I envy whoever is currently in possession of it and am sad that it'll probs never see the light of day again. Although I'm still glad that it was allowed to grace our delicate eyes. Oh well, KO Companies will likely achieve something similar or perhaps even better paint wise, so thats all well and good. Customizers will have a Field Day with him too!

    Uh... what exactly is the difference in paint between this and the other photos/reviews we've seen? I'm looking for differences and not seeing any.

    Usually I go crazy adding paint apps to everything but I am pretty happy with how this guy looks. I may paint the miniguns and chest gun and maybe pick out some the leg and bicep details but that will be it.

    I think that's just the different lighting in each photo, making the copter panels look more grey or more blue, and the dark grey more or less reflective.

    Yeah, to me it's more of a lightning effect rather than some different deco. PVSP's copy looks pretty much like Sam's paint master under normal light
