It was the 90s, if a toy wasn't garishly neon, then it wasn't good enough. Most of the G2 recolors were hideous. G.I.Joe didn't fair any better during this time either.
While I agree that the price tag is insane, if this is indeed real, then someone will get their hands on a piece of near mythology. But then, it is a prototype, and the back of the cards for the rest of the G2 Stunts show a motormaster was made.
I agree that this is bordering on mythology here, but remember the publicity shots showed one in vehicle and one in robot mode and editing techniques were alot tougher all those years ago, where there is one there is liable to be another.
IF this is genuine and IF this was found in the warehouse where the rest were shipped it could lend some clues as to where when and who owns the other prototype, you never know we could be seeing a national treasure movie in the making here
The search for motormaster....
As for the comments this is in too good a condition to be real, I worked for a famous cosmetics company years ago who used to bottle Giorgio fragrances, years after the contract ended we kept coming across the odd box of perfumes that got stacked on a the wrong shelf etc by someone who was out to finish his shift.
At $80 per bottle and with 100+ in a box these finds were uncommon but by no means unheard of, and the person who found it was allowed to buy it (as the contract ended we couldn't do anything else with it) at a $10 a bottle, so these kinds of finds all depend on how the luck of who was stacking stuff in the warehouse at the time.
I'd guess that whoever did the G2 stuff didn't really see a Green neon lorry as being that important to keep track off after it was used for some photos.
I'm guessing this thing is liable to top the $6000 mark giving the current insane bidding, would that make this the most single expensive and sought after TF ever???
I REALLY don't want to know what a "cumputer" is used for. A little one-handed web surfing, perhaps?
