    Uuuugh. That's so ugly and so disappointing all at the same time. I still haven't found my US version. If I didn't have any luck tracking one down I was just going to import this one, but it looks like total garbage.

    It's just an unfinished prototype. I'll reserve judgement on Takara's official photos. I also await Impossible Toys Arcee.

    Well, I guess everyone just kind of forgot about the official TakTomy pic we got last month.

    So here it is again:

    So, as you can see, no red face and some extra paint apps.

    As long as she's acurate to the cartoon, I don't really mind the red body, but the face...

    I like it. The mold looks great and the red colour makes her look fierce, instead of some soft robo pin up.

    Yeah people forget so easily, and don't realize that Takara's would never look like this (I mean it still has a silver symbol).

    The feet look much better. There were a few red faced prototypes of the US version as well.

    You don't know that. There is no reason for senseless optimism when reasoned pessimism is much more accurate.

    Read through the thread, bro :) . We already know what the final product will look like, and it differs quite a bit from the test shot (that is quite possibly even an old Hasbro one)..

    Oh come on, as if thats the final product.

    I'm pre ordering one anyways, I don't think I'll be able to get ahold of one otherwise.

    More detailed feet, but not a more detailed face. Way to be, Takomy! :)

    That brownish red and lack of mettalic pink still makes her less attractive than the US TRU version. That autobot emblem seems huge on her chest too. The paint on the feet really makes no difference overall, they should have stuck to black instead of brown, and maybe done up the arms a little bit better for the fingers at least. So I'll stick to the one I have instead of getting two. Here's hoping their hot rod still looks good though.

    And dammit hasbro, where's our Paradron Medic repaint, and Elita-1 Repaint?
