So how rare is a Transmetal Megatron minicon?

I got one yesterday in a little Takara box (series 11, blind box). It is full purple chrome, unlike the photo of some of the other possible figures including one of a regular purple Beast Wars megatron.
Never seen or heard of it before, but it came as a free figure from Digital Toys. Did I get a chase figure?

I know who you're talking about. Yes it is a chase figure. I don't know how rare it actually is though. CP would be the person to ask. You might want to PM him.

Is it this guy?
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/ChromebiteHe was 1 of 2 chase figures for the 5th booster set. And only 1 of the chase figures came in the box of 12.

Looks nice.
So according to some fast math and the amount of minicons in 2 booster packs, You had a 1/24(4%) chance of getting that little guy. So congratulations.

So anyone know what it is worth? Cause I don't really collect minicons.

Counterpunch would. He may even be so kind as to take that off your hands.

I'm pretty sure he's not as rare as the other chase in that set. If I were to sell mine, I'd want $10 minimum, which is pretty good for a Micron.

I say just sell it to CP. He'll give it a good home.

Sorry, we're all full at the inn.
Happily, I have all the MB chase figures.
Oddly enough, though Gnashtooth is way cooler than the other chase figure in the set, I had a much harder time finding the clear police car chase.
