James Zahn was the lucky winner of the G4TV and Jumpcut Transformers Videobot contest, held a few months ago, with his entry: Megatron's True Motivation.

For winning the Videobot competition, James won himself a special one of a kind Transformers product, a custom Chromed version of Transformers Movie Leader Class Optimus Prime.

This Prime was specifically made by the Hasbro Design team for him. Included were 2 versions, both robot and vehicle modes, as well as a custom base and case.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Green Ramulus just ended on ebay for $760! (I wasn't bidding, but had to watch)

I wonder how much this one of a kind would do?

It's not really one of a kind when there's two of them, heh.

Winner already mentioned elsewhere that he's not selling.

I am jelous, Hasbro needs to sell these online. I'd buy it, even at say $150.00. Not likely though.

It is a retool, as you can see by the head and such, the shoulders are actually 2 pieces instead of one.....

I want one, and would sell my left half of my body for it!!!


This item should have been a comic and online exclusive in mass production with a ticket price of 200.00. Also available through Diamond comics, and they should have done a special chromium and Golden metallic Megatron as well...

Tooo bad it's a one of a kind item, it would probably fetch around 8K on ebay if sold...

Actually it is one of a kind in a way.

He's even pointed out that both have differences, such as the windows being painted in truck mode.

Ok now those are cool. I wonder if Hasbro is going to release a non-chromed version of that.

It's beautiful, but it does show how the flames added a flair to the figure. Wow...G1 colors are really, really, really boring on that mold. Boring period.

The chrome is a nice touch, however.

A bit off topic... but it's shocking how many times they've repainted Leader Prime already, but there's still no sign whatsoever of even ONE properly painted (official) metallic version of Leader Megatron. The fact that they've taken the time to also repaint Ratchet (twice), Starscream (twice), Ironhide, Jazz, Bumblebee and even Barricade makes it that much more frustrating.

i'd just like to point out that even with its shiney new paint job, it still has a floppy smokestack. :P
