Like I said when photos of this chap first surfaced, the paintjob is nice, and I do appreciate the UM homage. However, another Leader Class figure is way too much for me - especially a straight repaint of Prime. Being in the UK, I've not been able to see the film yet (and with a release this Sat, I may not be able to see it for two weeks depending on how the weather shapes my work up North Scotland), but does this figure have any major connection to it? Is it scene specific, or just a repaint of a massive toy?
Personally, I'll be sticking with Leader Prime & Megs (kindly brought back from US by my bro - could never afford both at UK prices, or even online orders). But, I guess this figure will sit alongside Leader Brawl? Too many Leaders for me... (A Leader Screamer may have appealed...)

Nope. Doesn't have anything to do with the movie. I was actually going to get him, and call him UM, since I have the movie colored Prime, but after seeing the movie, I want leader Megs, so I'm going to use the money and space for him to buy Megs, instead.
He is pretty awesome, though, and I'd recommend it for anyone, who's skipping the movie colored version, as the mold is just that good. One of the best primes to come out.

In general, if a repaint is a visual improvement and/or a new character that I have use for (or can be used as a new character), then I usually have an interest in it. I used to just buy them up, indescriminately, but after paying rent for a while, I'm a bit more money-conscious, even though I'm back with the parents.
I'm picking up Thundercracker and Recon Barricade (Whom I'm renaming Streetwise, with partner, Groove. They're undercover, see?). Might grab Ratchet to use as First Aid.
Maybe if he's on clearance, or still on shelves around Christmas, but for as awesome as he looks, I've got Leader Prime, and I'd rather buy leader Megs. If this happens, I think there's room for Ultra Magnus . . .

Maybe I misunderstood. Is this a Japanese only repaint or is this coming Stateside?
The packaging seen in these photos is entirely in English.
