I haven't taken mine out of the box, but looking at it through the clear window, I think the colour match between diecast and plastic is pretty good. Yours looks more obvious, but lighting can really affect how colours appear. Like LED/Incandescent/Sunlight/Flourescent all make colours look different-changing how close the matching might seem. Ideally though should have just painted the whole thing.
I love the Missing Link stuff, I have a few already, but I passed this one up. Its such a waste of money to me... A slight paint change, thats it. Now had he been Nemesis Prime in black or Shattered Glass Prime in purple then yeah Im on board. Otherwise I will save my limited resources for something else -like ML Sunstreaker. Now if I can just find a solid release date for pre-order! 😭 😆

I'm a sucker for unconventional, "Generation 2" style color-schemes. And for some reason I'm fascinated with slapping Yellow onto figures that aren't normally associated with it. I loved the G2 Tigerstripe studio 86' grimlock, I loved Gen selects Tigertrack, and I love this guy too. edit---- yes I think he looks mostly yellow overall. Love it.
Wow the fist are attached into the transformation and not snapped on like the original.. thats so cool.
Yep this is why I am very interested in Takara making Megs and improving many things
@tydiriumhanger1320
Megatron will be a headache. As a kid i thought it was transformed wrong since it didn't look like what i saw on cartoon 😅

Yellows and Oranges are the hardest to make paint match plastic
I was wondering why the yellow, then seeing truck from the pilot it makes sense now.
I thought that was interesting when I found out
@tydiriumhanger1320 I might just grab one for the hell of it great work mike.

The G1 Optimus Prime recolours like this Sentinel Prime are probably for those completionists. It's like the recolours of MP-10 again.
I would be a completionist if they do not make too many

I'm not familiar with all the lore of transformers.
Can someone tell me why this Optimus is yellow?
I heard it is because it is based on the truck scanned but it is actually Sentinal prime which is a different character
These were the real good made type,, they move better they just feel authentic 💯
Yes these are made very well and to have a crispy brand new one is awesome
