Never heard this before, no result from Takara Tomy search, but this is an amazing idea!
By the picture it looks very nice color and seems to be from original factory. No matter what, for $100, I am putting one besides all my Lamborghinis. Check it out...

This is the only place I found to get mine:

Let me know how you think...

Sorta confirmed a KO repaint.

Thanks, it is worth of getting one considering KO quality is pretty much the same with Takara?

Wow that thing looks hideous. They just painted the parts that show in alt mode gold? If you are going to do something like this, might as well paint the whole thing.

If you look closely through the windscreen, you'll notice that some of the bot parts inside are painted gold as well.

But like you, I'm not exactly a fan of the gold paint.

I was going by this is being the robot mode.

Wow, I didn't see that pic before. That's awful.

Looks like an effing WIP by a customizer or something. $100? That's not even worth $50, what with all the touch-ups you'd have to do to it to make it presentable.

This KO is available via SirToys.com for the somewhat lesser sum of $44.99!

Not sure why anyone would even consider paying $100 for a badly painted KO?
