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

400$ :shock:

A waste! For those moneys you could buy a MISB Overlord or an Fortress Maximus! ... Bah! :-?

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.

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 ;)

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.

Leave it up to the Bunny to cram reality down everyone throat:wink:

I still would have liked to own it mind you... I still like Fat Boy Prime.

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.

that Megatron is pretty excellent looking. Why were these never released?

because the shelves were already clogged with the previous releases of both molds.

I like both of these. To bad the original versions did not sell so well.

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.

O, they're not mine. They're... ehm... :-s

...from Nevermore's account. Don't tell him. In fact, don't tell anyone. Stuff is Good. So are Chia Pets. The president is fake and they broadcast everything on the moon.

Somebody should do a repaint/kitbash of that Megs. Those colors rock!

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.
