I won't begrudge this reissue to those who want him, but I very much doubt I personally would get him. Like RID Scourge, I already have all three versions of the mold still in good shape.
The main reason I get the reissues is that I either don't have the original or my own originals are a bit worse for the wear (so to speak). Laser Rod Optimus Prime does not fit into either catagory. The inevitable eHobby recolor might be more interesting.
One more thing, on TW2005, there were mentions of Toxitron, supposedly a G2 recolor of Laser Prime in horribly garish colors which was never produced. Can anyone elaborate?

I thought Toxitron was a cancelled RiD release?
Either way, he was shown at this year's BotCon as part of the "no pictures allowed" Rare Toys panel.

Well, on the upside, they were designed so that they would get splotches on their uniform if you dunked them in water. Color change is awesome! And they were made when saving the environment was considered the hip, new thing, and everybody cared, or pretended they did*, so they sold really well.

I have no idea. Until I read TW2005's thread, I never knew he existed.Quoth Nevermore:

The "Rare Toys" Panel featured several toys provided by private collectors who, for whatever reason, felt that allowing photos of their toys being taken would somehow invade their privacy.

Or stop them from feeling quite as elite when pictures of unproduced toys hit the web and everyone goes "Bugger me, that's ugly! What sort of idiot paid a fortune for that?".

Because exhibiting them at a convention where people can poke/prod/burn them is in no way a similar invasion...
