TRU exclusive Cybertron Starscream/Vector Prime two-pack now with pics

Post by Nevermore »

Listing has been reported before, pics are new.

[EDIT]

In packaging

[EDIT 2]

What looks like a Hasbro vector Prime test shot (it's got the "NOT FOR SALE" stamp which is a dead giveaway for Hasbro test shots) but apparently comes in Takara colors?

Shame they didn't decide to color Vector's force chip in this release to differentiate him. I might actually have gotten it. Since I've got Supreme Starscream and plan on getting the LOC version, I think I'll pass on this set. If I want a Vector Prime, I may look into the GF version.

I think it's cheap not to at least recolor Vector Prime, many people will already have bought one and have to get the same one if they buy Starscream

Last-minute change for the two-pack, mayhaps?

So are they ever going to get a VP out with that bronze colored edging on his wings, or is that another "See it on your box and wished it existed but it never will"?
