One can assume nowadays when Hasbro or Takara create a great mold it'll be reused and re-released to high heaven. Such is the case with Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, Takara striking first with their attempt at a more movie accurate deco. This is a figure that really needs to be experienced in hand as pictures tend to distort the creamy gray making it look more white than it is, and the rusty orange/red into more of a blood color. With Hasbro's version of a movie accurate deco coming in the fall as well as at least two other decos one can take a wait and see attitude to decide which version they want.
