Seibertron.com member SentinelPrime878 managed to get his hands on one of the 15 red-steel coloured Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime, produced by Mololith Designs and has taken a mini-photogallery of this awesome figure.
Puts everything in the ROTF line to shame. What an awesome piece of TF art. Honestly. Best thing to come out of fan produced figures to date. Well done
Yea, the prototype was on display in the dealer room at BotCon (at the dealer booth of course, not Hasbro's display). Only 15 painted units? Did I read that right? I thought the word was that we would get a few hundred in a major production run. Or do they mean 15 RED units, as in the mass-produced units will be just standard metallic?
Even so, if the Cliffjumper upgrade set cost me $150 with only 300 made, then this will surely cost $300 or some such crazy amount.
Clairification: There was/is (status unknown) a more widely available version, however that is a simple matte red/blue. The metallic finish version is limited to 15 pieces.
