Both look nice,but I need to see more pictures before deciding on anything

[Transformers_leader]

Doesn't look bad, but if you already have the sdcc exclusive I don't think is a must have.

[Evil Eye]

Eh, I preferred the Hasbro Grimlock with more chrome.

Slog looks good here though.

[OptimalOptimus2]

Slog's colors don't match at all!!!!!!!! What happened Takara!!

[Manterax Prime]

Wow. Drift looks identical to his Hasbro counterpart.

Can anyone spot the difference in the Takara drift that justifies a $20 markup?

[megatronus]

I'm REALLY looking forward to that Drift. Loved the Skyhammer figure, and this looks vibrant & awesome.

As if G1 coloring could "save" any mold.

I think he's referring to the Grimlock G1 Color Ver. redeco of AOE Voyager Grimlock.

It could also be Wheeljack, or so may others...

Yeah, but Grimlock's still currently on the front page as of this typing.

Seibertron.com message board member Chuckdawg1999 has provided us a video review of the Takara Tomy Toys "R" Us exclusive "Rusty" Optimus. This redeco and remold of the Evasion Mode Optimus mold features a plastic with the color of a white chocolate with "rusty" paint apps strewn about throughout the mold. This Optimus also features a head with a faceplate instead of the exposed face of the original.

You can see the video review below:

i really want to like Rusty Prime but i can't. i love the paint job on the cab in vehicle mode but all that plain cream plastic just looks wrong. If it were all painted like the cab it would look amazing and be an instant buy. To expensive or impractical to make i suppose.

sound obivious that people say takara version in truck mode is not movie accuate are the ones who paid more attention to acting, plot and acting like paid movie critics them selfs, its takar version in ruck mode is more accuate movie prime has faded flames, takara version have faded falmes in truck mode, Hasbro veriosn in truck mode is to clean to show flames when looking at truck mode, maybe possibly bullet hole or two on takra version have that Hasbro does no.

Hasbro have rusty look down but they could have added some bullet holes and faded falmes in truck mode to make more accuate I myself would have picked up Hasbro version if it did not come in five pack combo pack really like Hasbro bot mode more than takara combo pack pushed me away

The plastic isn't cream but a very faded gray color.

Because there were a **** ton of grammatical errors.

[OptimalOptimus2]

Aside from the negativity, I really like this Rusty Optimus Prime. I really want it, not matter how much it costs.

[Transformers_leader]

It pisses me off that they show him in some other colors at first, like more movie accurate, and all the sudden we have an albino prime.

That's not just albino prime. That's Albino-Roadkill-Prime.

[Peridot]

Galvatron probably would have looked like Albino-Roadkill Prime if he weren't hijacked by Megatron. That, or Nemesis Prime.

[PGTKevin]

Dispensor is my personal favorite. Just wish he was an actual Mountain Dew machine as opposed to a truck.

[MGrotusque]

The rusting is done well enough and convincingly enough in alt mode to make me want to buy it.

In bot mode though......not so much. In bot mode there should have been more application of paint then wiped off to highlight more details and panel edges with the paint remaining in those wee crevasses and panel lines. With less straight brown "blotches" sprayed on from a spray gun. A little more care in those regards and some grey would have been nice in alt mode. Like in the elbows, shoulders and knees.

IMO.
