I was super excited when I saw the weathered truck mode only to be disappointed when I saw robot mode. I'm awaiting my AD-02 Optimus paint job and will only have that and the Hasbro version. There are just too many things missed here and would have made it a definite buy
1) Where are the weather/painted hubcaps? (Unpainted Takara...really?)
2) Where in the world are 90% of the weather paint apps in robot mode Takara?
3) A new head mold with REMOVABLE faceplate so he could be displayed with either look (hint hint wink wink Takara and Hasbro)- get on with it!!
Overall I agree with others who've said the bot mode is just too damn clean to be screen accurate...easy pass (I hope BBTS does have it for fans that gotta have it)

Not sure how you missed the wheels being brown/weathered but they most certainly are in that picture and there is even rust streaks on the tires just like you would see if it were a regular POS rusting out truck. But yeah, the bot mode is a bit too clean, at least around the upper torso.
So far I'm seeing 3 versions of this same mold and not a single one of them can manage to pull off a look that screams "Buy me!" All are close but I'd have to buy all 3 and mix and match parts to get 1 figure that has all the elements of a figure worth buying. Sorry Hasbro and Takara but that just isn't happening. I'll go without before I fall into that stupid little money grubbing trap.
