    I wonder how hard it would be to just paint (or de-paint) a regular evasion Op to look like this? I'm sure even I could do it.

    Or the Evolutions two-pack version.
    But then you'd also have a spare Classics Optimus...

    Why not repaint that grey, too? Hell, why not repaint every Transformer you own grey (or beige)? Then you could have a completely boring grey collection and just sit yawning as you look at them.

    ...sorry. I think I've made my feelings on this toy known.

    So it shows up like this in the movie. That doesn't change the fact that grey is boring.

    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.

    I didnt realise that mass produced, inanimate plastic objects would frustrate you so

    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.
