Kinda funny to see that while Evasion Mode Optimus has a G1 paint scheme already, Takara-Tomy will giving him a more movie accurate paint job in an exclusive instead. TFW2005 has the images of the figure which will be a TRU Japan exclusive release.
Looks a little plain in robot mode with it having so much grey. I guess that's why Hasbro decided to release this in the G1 colors to make it sound out a bit more. But I do really like some of the little details they've put on the figure, like the flames.

Re: Takara-Tomy Evasion Mode Optimus exclusive figure
It's the head that kills it for me. The trailer models show a slight amount of color appropriate to Optimus, the white areas are lightly red, the head is lightly blue, the paint all worn away but still a touch of it. This doesn't look like that, this looks like Ultra Magnus' Minimus Ambus-style cab-bot.
See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?
