Depends if it's genuine. It could just be a home repaint being passed off as a test-shot.

I think it's genuine. This guy has a ton of feedback and it's 100% positive. I won't spend $400 on it, though.

That does not mean anything.
You would be amazed at the people that know absolutely zip about the toys they collect.
He could sell a well crafted kitbash and pass it off to the unknowing collector without them knowing anything.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

It is a test shot, people. The figure in question was to be a Target exclusive repaint, and included the WST Convoy figure. There was also a E-Megatron repaint planned with WST Soundwave and Ravage for the same store.

You can find some images of the Optimus Prime repaint here and the Megatron repaint here.

O, if I may add, they were never released ;)
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

That Energon Prime was an improvement, but it's really the unreleased Megatron I would have loved to own.

Hmm. I'll keep an eye on it, at least.

Remember the guy about a month ago that was selling loose G2 Stunticons in an eBay auction and didn't even know about it until someone let the cat out of the bag? There's another good example of eBay ignorance at it's finest.

Anyone else notice the pics are the same ones in Jelze photobucket? You would think for $400 the guy could at least get some new pics.

Of all the repaints in Energon (and there were a ton of them), that one I would have loved to get. I'm not paying $400+ for one, but that is a cool repaint.
