Why does Japan always get the good stuff? Damn you Hasbro for being cheap!!!
Does anyone know what that Prime trailer does besides simply opening up?

You should damn retailers for refusing to sell more expensive/intricately painted figures, and damn parents for not being able to afford $40 deluxes, and collectors for not buying more. If Hasbro could get away with charging more to provide more paint apps, they would.
If this Sideswipe really is silver, it looks like I'll be importing him.

It's not. We've got all the new DOTM toys here at Toys 'R' Us in Okayama (including the Takara-exclusive Optimus Prime), and Sideswipe is as ugly and unpainted as the Hasbro release.
Don't believe the hype.

It's a barely altered RotF Chromia:

Barely altered, to homage TF:Prime Arcee! I love homages!

An homage to a figure that hasn't been released yet? The Prime definition of a Time Paradox.
