I was hoping to use this as a Classics Shockwave, but all those spikes ruin that idea. Maybe they can be removed through some disassembly.

"NOT FOR SALE." 
I guess this seller didn't see that part since he's selling it for $1,200!
He's a definite buy for me, but I'll either wait for retail or get him from BBTS if he's really difficult to find.

Observation: gun hose.
Conclusion: Awesome.
(Thanks to Tfwiki for that one)
He looks so much better without the armor. Really looking forward to this one.

There are some smaller 'spikes' (as well as the hose) that aren't part of the armor. However, they're silver, so I think Gauntlet is just misinformedly assuming they'll be the color of the armor bits.
Unless they really do bug him that much...but eh. More for the rest of us.

His armor might come off, but there are some spikes, such as those around his head, that look like they might NOT be removable.
On the other hand, I don't see how a couple of small spikes would prevent you from displaying this figure as part of a "Classics-verse" display.
Also, while the spikes (and other parts) may appear silver in that Photoshopped promotional image, I'd be willing to bet the actual figure will be dull unpainted gray in those spots, not shiny silver.

Yeah, I mistook all those orange bits as armour. It looks more natural in solver.
Although the shoulder pieces don't look very removable .... appearances may be deceiving.

The red, rubbery armor parts do detach completely. The silver spikes coming out of his head are actually part of his head. He has that same head design in season 2 of Prime.

You are aware that prototypes' colors are not the final intended colors for figures? Early models are always made with crappy colors because it is just a physical representation of their design. They are never intended to be a final representation...hence a prototype. So no one should worry about these colors looking bad.
Btw, this I didn't intend this to be directed at you specifically. There just seems to be a lot of confusion about these images. No one freaked out over the prototype images of the OP PRiD remold for Ultra Magnus that surfaced a few weeks ago.
And the beast armor is removeable! Again, I don't understand the confusion...

No, dont try to bribe him.
He will remain loyal to Megatron.
Or overthrow him to be the new leader.
Whatever is more logical.

You know, the more I look at this prototype, the more I can't help but think that this color scheme (blue with golden highlights and some red) looks familiar. Very familiar.
But for life of me I can't remember where I've seen it before. If it was on another Transformer or even from some other toyline's figure.

^ Nope.
PBH Soundwave - Too many colors
PRID Dreadwing - Blue's too dark, too much gray, not enough red
RiD Sky-Byte - Too many colors
It might not have even been a TF. Could have been a Megazord or a Gundam or a Digimon or a Bionicle or a... argh, so many toylines I've played with.

That is one fair-looking bot! Much like a Classics Shockwave, though he's more of a Prime character. Anyway, 1,200 dollars for a prototype could get a little pricy for me (unless I step into Jeoperdy or America's Funniest Home Videos ), so I'll get a final version instead!
And did someone mention a prototype of Animated TC!? Impossible! I thought the toy's stock photo's where the only thing that proves the existence of this guy!
