No paint = test shot. For what is a different question altogether.

Ugh, that mold is the worst. Repaint the Laser Rod Prime in Scourge already.

You know, I would probably buy that if I saw it. Black, red windows... Some how it makes it all better.

I always thought this figure had a really excellent robot mode, save for the kibble on the back. It's the alt mode that looks awful. Almost Kreo-ish.
I'm tempted to pick him up, if only to display in bot mode.

This is a stupid question, but what's wrong with this mould?
Re: Auction for Rare Deluxe Classics Optimus Prime Prototype

It's waist rotates 360 for the 'battle action' and does not always click into place front forward.
The alt mode is very piece meal, and not a very smooth rendition of the truck. And it's small.

I would totally get this, but only because I have a giant pile of black Prime repaints.

Ok, a few minutes ago, the headline said this was a KO. Now it says it's a rare prototype? 
Wha happen?
As far as the mold, twisty chest gimmick aside, I like it. Great robot mode, truck mode is ok. I prefer the voyager mold for Nemesis though, more fitting.

There was some confusion with the translation initially. One of staff members who can read Chinese straightened it out. According to TFClub it's a prototype of the original.

Plus the head is ugly.
The weapon however, is made of win.
And this proves that everything looks better in black.

Not the waist, the upper chest. And as long as you pull the tab to lock the mechanism he stays facing forward just fine, and gets a ratchet chest swivel for extra posing.
The truck mode on the other hand is really poor, no argument there.
But his robot mode is sweet, and quite poseable.

In that case I would definitely buy this just for the robot mode. It's much better than the Voyager mould, size aside.

I've had four different versions of this mold and NONE of them have ever not just spun around constantly. I really hate "action features". They almost always ruin the figure's aesthetics. It's really not such a bad interpretation aside from that flaw, there are worse.
