Step 1. Prototype is madeRated X wrote:So how does the prototype end up on e-bay before the final version even exists ? Was the idea scrapped by Hasbro ? Anybody else notice the seller claims to have 2 available ?

Step 2. The prototype is used to cast the mold for the final version
Step 3. The newly-casted mold is used to make the final version
Step 4. The prototype gets stolen and put on eBay somewhere between steps 2 and 3

Some more significant retooling (like new Beast Mode arms with two fingers, some retooling of the chest, and new weapons) could have really made this thing pop as Megatron.

Agreed. I wasn't too interested in the figure, considering I have FOC Grim and a TM Megatron, but I'm even less interested since the head is the only thing new.
Maybe I'm getting a little spoiled, but Hasbro's been putting out some really nice retools/remolds recently. For example, Blaster(even though I've yet to find Soundblaster) has just enough new parts(and a new gun) to make him unique, and I really like that figure. In conjunction, the data discs all have excellent remold/retools to make them feel unique, and when compared side by side I was surprised by how different they were.

Also, the fangs are to far into his face.
I wouldn't mind seeing this head for a future BotCon exclusive using the new Predaking's mold though.
