Thanks for the pics.  It's always nice to get new detail shots of new figs.

 

Hope you don't mind, but I'm mirroring the pics at the Allspark and TFW2005 for everyone to see.

Now I take it right.

gatta say galaxy force has the best head designs bar maybe Galaxy convoy

Another small mistransformation is that those rear landing gear pieces are supposed to stay folded down, as hip armor, or something (at least, all of Takara's promo pics show them as such).  I think they're hinged so they don't restrict movement, not as a transformation joint. 

 

No biggie though, and thanks again for the pics.

Isn't that a test shot of the Hasbro version (Evac) rather than the Takara version (Live Convoy)?

I dunno.  There's no blatantly visible "Not for Sale" markings as per all the other Hasbro protos and test shots.  I think this may just be more fuel to the fire for your "Takara security is slipping" theories.

 

When's his Japan release date?

Every time I see it, it looks cooler.
