    What I'm saying is I know that Hasbro would not pull a random custom off the internet for a place holder. They would use a much better digital mockup than that prime shown.

    These pics are not real.

    Hopefully Prowl is unchanged from the takara version when it is release in US.

    Fantastic, you know what everyone else here knows. Thankfully those images aren't from Hasbro's internal site. They're from Toys 'R Us' internal site, as the subject of this story says. The person that put these images in as placeholders until they got something from Hasbro likely found them on Google.

    They're real. They're just not what everyone thinks they are: the actual shipping products.

    If there's one thing I've learned in over twenty years on the internet: there's no shortage of people who can't be bothered to read even the first two pages of a thread (I actually had something much meaner here originally, but this is at least as blunt and to the point).

    LOL very true. At least the rest of North America gets a chance. Quebec on the other hand......has itself to blame!

    Another TRU exclusive....
    That means it will hit ebay for $200 + international trace (madatory customs fee) + shipping. Making this $80 figure about $$$$$$$$$$ for me from Amsterdam :( 

    Anyone willing to pick one up for me without trying to bleed me dry, please hit me up with a PM.. Thank you!

    ...What the hell did they do to that Evasion Optimus?
    Somehow they completely screwed over his proportions... not to mention the paint...

    If these are the photos that Hasbro sends Toys R Us then this might help explainwhy there are dozens of YOTH Starscreams littering the shelves. The 'confidential' photo they received was probably a picture of MP11 with his Coronation gear. They both have a crowns so what's the difference?

    It must be amateur hour at Hasbro. To send a photo of a tiny Japanese exclusive and a fan made custom as placeholder images is just ridiculous.

    They're random placeholder pics that someone at TRU grabbed via Google. That Sunstorm is iGear's KO.

    Can one of the news staff please post an update on the front page about this? The current story is just misinforming people at this point.

    Let's not forget about Hasbro Asia using someone fan art without permission for that Sixshot reissue a couple years back.

    Umm.....no offense, but for the umpteenth time, it's not an iGear KO. It's a custom someone made. iGear's not-Sunstorm was mostly orange. It had no yellow on it. Not only that, the iGear seekers have that tab that sticks out on the side of the leg where the hip kibble fix was implemented.
