My money is on legit. Haven't we known about this, though?

I hope you guys can't get enough of the Black Shadow mold...

If its real, it makes me feel a bit better about attending Botcon "08" and missing out on the set. That mistake still pains me. :sad:

This SG Prime is delivered via the Transformers Reveal the Shield G2 Prime. It has not been indicated of this will be an Exclusive add-on figure or this year's freebie. Check out the image below or click here to view Planet Iacon's Facebook page.

Lost opportunity of Shattered OP and Magnus set using the WFC Optimus mold if this is true.

As cool as this is, im calling custom on it, or at least, this piece being a custom.
(It was speculated awhile back that we would be getting a SG prime from this mold)

Notice how boxset Ultra Magnus, who shares the same mold, does not have the rubsign

However, this prime does. Probably a really good custom, the real thing probably features the battle scars from the 08 one.

I hope its legit i missed the first SG Prime and to get 0ne is way too expensive!

Whether it's fake or not, it's a whole lot of ugly on ugly. BotCon Magnus can barely get away with it, because he's at least a nice shade of blue. But this? :SICK:

Y'know, given the relative simplicity of the plastic layout, and the "freeform" nature of his battle-damage, I could easily see this figure being the Customization Class fig. Everyone gets a purple Prime to 'scar' as they see fit, and a label sheet is provided to create the giant 'bot logo, the "till all are gone" tagline, etc.

Just my two cents.

Optimus Crime is back.

Blah blah, rub sign, blah blah, legit...?

Never mind blooming Shattered Glass, what ever happened to a Scourge repaint of this Laser Prime mold?
My Battle Tanker needs some tall, dark and evil right now!!!

You think FunPub would be foolish enough to release such a wanted item at Convention-Exclusive rarity/prices?

Yeah they've done some boneheaded stuff in the past but in this case they learned from Botcon '07 Thundercracker.

If the Club does anything with scourge, it'll be one of their Club Exclusive Figs.

Besides, remember that supposed store listing with figures a while back? One of them was a Deluxe Scourge, which could be the Laser Prime repaint (maybe even a Sweep repaint, I don't know). Still, take that with a grain of salt as we haven't heard anything from it since.

Just to be clear, I am open to the idea of this being legit (I know better than to fight CP), but wouldn't exclude the idea of a KOLD (Knock-Off Lucky Draw) release either.
