That's the bad handling of Artworks! They just chopped off the pic by the sword!

Of course it looked better! The first one was Hasbro's photoshopped promotional image, the new pictures are what it will actually look like.

A little bit more metallic color would do it justice. The brown plastic kinda makes it look cheap.

Awesome. Must-buy for me. I just got the "gold" Cybertron one (not the white one) in the mail today! I love the figure, and I think this new repaint is badass!

The black & silver look great... but the brown ruin it, look out of place, look like brown poop and make his head and legs have no paints details like the original VP.
I noticed Hasbro finally painted the wings but only the outer side...

I hope Hasbro isn't using the cheap, flimsy rubber-stuff, whatever is for the wings and sword, but sadly, it looks to be the case. Probably still pick him up, though. ![:-B]( "Nerd")

For the 3rd official coloring of this, 4th official release in the US, 5th official release worldwide, and 6th release including botcon...They could have afforded some extra paint aps...
Sheesh.
Sheesh.

Why does he look so great in those previous pics but so shitty now? Damn it, Hasbro! I want a toy that looks like the one on the back of the box not the one in the box.

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I said I liked this repaint, but if these new pics are what it really looks like I'll probably pass.

I'm not familiar with the old Vector Prime toy.
Is this a repaint? Or entirely new mould?

It's about the 4th different color application we have seen applied to mold, 3 in the states, 1 in Japan. 1 in the states was a Botcon exclusive, but still...

Ok.
Vector Prime is the ancient Transformer/guardian of Primus sent to right the wrongs in the Cybertron series.
His US release was colored incorrectly. His Japanese release was colored more correctly.
He had a US redeco in gold and black (with a confusing title).
His body was used to make the BotCon toy 'Alpha Trion' with a new head mold. (Very very nice)
This incarnation is a repaint made to look like the 'Last Autobot'.
I almost ripped on you for not looking into this a little or at least reading the thread. Almost.
But...it's hard for those of us who have been around WAY before the movie sometimes to understand the perspective of the new gen of fans.
So....
Everybody gets one.

One more use of the mould won't hurt. I was a fan of the character in the show, and an obscure homage makes the G1 in my wet myself with excitment.
