Via an ebay auction, we have our first look at Masterpiece Clampdown outside of Takara-Tomy’s official photography. This police-type redeco of Masterpiece Sideswipe is looking pretty sharp – at least in vehicle mode, which is all we can see in these images. The paint on the face is not looking quite so grand, but hopefully Takara-Tomy will see to that by the time the final release version comes along. For now, check out these images.

it's funny how people treat this like national security. it's a damn toy.

I would assume it's not that unusual for rejects to get out into the public, possibly they work at the factory?

Why would you want a non combining Breakdown mould…just be patient if and when Takaratony decide to release a real MP Menosaur…

How about Breakdown get his own mold? However it would just be Masterpiece Breakdown, not Masterpiece Menasor.

It's my hope that this is a factory reject due to the sloppy paint applications. I'll wait on a few reviews before I place my order.

Given that a Deepcover is inevitable I'm pleased to have sold my G2 Sideswipe.

It would look great if the paint job was not sloppy.

Don't think those seeker stands are quite the same as there are a TON of people who have those repro stands on taobao, but very few sellers getting much of the stuff Lena gets (though I did get my Cloud Roadbuster on taobao). She no doubt has access to factory rejects/samples, and although everything I have gotten from her has been great, I hear that there can be blemished.
MnemonicSyntax
It's not a custom. Lena is known for getting "stuff earlier" than other sellers.
It's in the thread.
