It’s an interesting concept. I’m tempted to pick one up just for the novelty value… it reminds me of the G-Shock Optimus Watch, which really shot up in value. But I just don’t like the look of the robot mode, with a big fat belly lens.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

Added official images into first post.
The special product page on the TakaraTomy site for Optimus only.
I get the feeling that this was designed for Reflector for the more dedicated Fans (as it makes more sense), but then slightly modified to also be released as Optimus for everyone else to pay for the mould (as Optimus is the more recognisable character, who can sell just about any toy).

If they were more like $60 than $200 I'd get Reflector.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
