I share similar reasons to Jay for not getting it. I think the concept is awesome but I have no desire to get it. Although I do like the mirror universe concept but I do not like it enough to buy exclusive toys/repaints. This 'Not SG Rodimus' is a completely made up character that requires a core toy which I don't own nor plan to get in the future due to lack of interest so it's a no.

I will only get the Protector release. I find it odd that this Scyther repaint went on pre-order before Protector. Perhaps Protector will end up being a repaint of Scyther?
