Beyond being a repaint ofcourse. Anything different, cool, uncool about him?

Different paint. Same dodgy plastic wings and sword.

Worth $15?

I've been meaning to get a Vector Prime at some point. Wasn't necesarily planning on the GF one though.

Probably worth 15ish. No more then that though, he really doesn't look as good in that color scheme. Personally though if your willing to spend the extra cash I'd track down the Takara Vector Prime. Better paint apps, hard plastic wings and sword, and jsut looks and feels higher quality overall.

Perfect. Thats just the info I needed.

Thanks.

Bonger, I don't know if you shop there, but BBTS has a ton of Takara GF Vector Primes loose/complete, I think they are abut $18 each. I do recommend that one over the American version.

Yup TAKARA Galaxy Force Vector Prime is one of my favorite figures in the last couple years and that says a lot. I like his deco much much better than any of the other releases. His cyber key is also painted opposed to the Hasbro releases which were not.

::EDIT::
I didn't remember Hasbro's Vector Prime repaint having a painted key. Sorry for the false info on that bit. Having looked at it in the galleries, I still prefer the Takara version very much.

We're all getting confused here.

Hasbro Cybertron Vector Prime - crap wings/sword, unpainted Key
Hasbro Cybertron 'Galaxy Force' Vector Prime - GOLD COLOR repaint, crap wing/sword, PAINTED KEY

Takara Galazy Force Vector Prime - Outstanding paint aps, great wings/sword, painted key

NOTE: The gold release of Vector Prime is titled 'Galaxy Force' as is the Optimus Prime repaint.

Thanks for clearing that up. Well, the Takara version @ BBTS seems like the better buy than the Gold GF VP @ Hasbrotoyshop.

I'm gonna go order it right now. Thanks for the great info everyone.
