I've never even heard of this before... cant say I feel like I was missing out

Clearly from the time before HasTak discovered teal.

What the hell is that? Is that new or old? Either way, it's crap.

:tfpuke

In the lucky draw contest you have to color a b/w picture of a character and send it to Takara. Then, they choose the winner and make a world unique figure with that color scheme. I sent a submission 3 or 4 years ago for the Cybertron (Galaxy Force) Optimus contest. I repainted him as Motormaster, I even had the other 4 stunticons done from toys of the same line, you can see them here. And they have those gold and silver repaints for the finalists too.

 

But this rodimus... He is just all black with the wings painted in yellow, and the cannon in lime... what were they thinking? Maybe they just pull out at random one of the submissions, no matter what it is, and that's the winner, hence the "lucky draw" name?

Lucky draw? More like sucky draw... :tfpuke

 

Seriously,... WTF were they thinking? Were they thinking? :scarred

I wouldn't pay for this. He looks like a plain silhoutte with bright yellow(?).

 

Not realy the best exclusive out there, but someone will still chase it doen for way to much money. So congradulations to that guy.

You people complaining that he's too plain do realize that there's probably a decal sheet in the box, right?

Regardless of that fact, it's still just a big black chunk of plastic, with some gaudy neon colors thrown on. I don't think decals could save it. :guh
