Heh, yeah... adding chrome looks great on some toys (e.g. Henkei Sunstreaker), on other toys it looks neither good nor bad (e.g. Henkei Astrotrain), and on others it actually looks detractive (e.g. the upcoming Sixshot reissue). <---JMHO But with Optimus Prime having chrome on the grill and pipes could very well improve the look of the mould (as it did with Henkei Convoy)... but whether it's enough to "salvage" this ordinary mould... I don't know. No amount of improved colours can hide the toy's underwhelming design/engineering.
