First Image of Lawson Exclusive Transformers Dark Side Moon - Dark Side Optimus Prime

Pretty sexy. I love the red edged blades. Looks like he just went Kill Bill on everyone.

It's funny that the US got a domestic release of "Starry" Prime featuring hooks, and Japan is now getting a release with blades.

I was about to say that. I still don't know which I'd prefer, the Japanese has better colors and the silver matrix, while the US has the swords but an unpainted matrix.

This looks like Scourge from RiD got a Bayverse makeover.

Black Prime limited repaint. Do I want it? No. I've been burned enough time on these when a comparable figure is released exclusively across the way, and then released here also.

Lawson's Blackout is the big one for me... I am very selective after that debacle.

Does anyone have a preorder up for this guy yet?

They did that already.

There is even a gallery for it:

I have it for now, but if I can secure a cheaper alternative I will.

Yea, OWW!

I put it on preorder too, but I suspect someone will have it for a but less than that.

If you spot a better deal let me know.

I did the yen conversion and it works out to over $80, so he won't be cheap in any event.

Evil clones are like so last tuesday, black good guys are like all the rage in Japan. I should get myself one.

YOU ARE NOT COUNTERPUNCHING ME.

I WILL NOT BUY THIS!

*runs away*

Hello, Blurrz, look at your Prime, now back to me, now back at your Prime, now back to me. Sadly, it isn’t Lawson's, but if you stopped being thrifty and gave into the Counterpunching, it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re next to a shelf with the Prime your Prime could look like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s a Lawson's Dark Side Prime homaging Black Fire Convoy. Look again, the Prime is now Shining Unicron. Anything is possible when your Prime looks like Lawson's and not ordinary. I’m not Counterpunch.

I don't care for the gold/yellow coloring.

That is the best line ever. Can we get this put to a commercial in the style of the Old Spice Man?
