I had a real close up view of the photos and there is actually a lot of detail in this. Bullet holes too. Just hope the final version will be just like that. I actually think it looks great in grey.
It frustrates me that the fandom complains about the amount of Hasbro grey used on toys - which I agree with, and I utterly hate - but then demands that perfectly acceptable toys like Evasion Mode Optimus or the frankly beautiful movie dinobots be reduced to lumps of grey with a few splotches on like this, in the name of a perceived "accuracy" either to nostalgia or to a movie. I would much rather have some imagination and fun in my toys than slavish adherence to boring colour schemes. Sorry for being a party pooper, but the fact that people are saying this toy is amazing is frustrating when it's so, so... boring.
You're not a party pooper by any means. You dont like this version of Prime's colour scheme, while others do. You prefer fun & imagination while others are after movie accuracy and so on and so forth. If we all had the same tastes, this place would be as boring as the proverbial
BBTS have it now on pre-order..

Hasbro are also coming to the party. Scrapyard Optimus Prime as he is known, will be released in a three pack along side Rollbar & Vehicon, who are repaints of the Generations Skids & DoTM Crankcase moulds
