I'm entertaining the idea, this guy does cost alot, and he's only a repaint(and a great one at that). But the Hybrid line isn't going to be anything extensive, so it would be cool to have the set complete.
Like my other Hybrids, he'd stay in the box, and since I already have the G1 version, this wouldn't even be opened. Still, I'd have to make a trip to reprolabels and get some new faction stickers to keep with him.
I never went for the necleon story, I'm more a fan of the Scourge/Nemesis idea
