they dont usually make prototypes clear, looks more like a limited edition or something, either way its rare so to TF fans, worth the price

Could be a bootleg. Why would hasbro have prototypes of existing toys anyway?

Could be a prototype for something that E-hobby is looking to release. It would be similar to hteir "Ghost of Starscream" clear Starscream.

I just kind of woundering if any of you guy's knew any thing, because I read on one or two websites that clear one's like that are fake prototypes that people make in there spare time with out permission from the factory supervisers to make a quick buck.

Maybe if this figure was recast in tinted clear blue resin...but not from the injection molding machines...

Changeing the material (plastic) from one type to another is a fairly involved process...purgeing the old material completely out, loading the new stuff in, letting it get up to temperature, run through a couple of test shots and readjust the machine accordingly, make a few parts, purge the material back out, reload the correct material, get it up to tmperature, test shots and machine adjustments...that is a minimum of twenty minutes, minus the time spend produceing parts...ain't no way that you could do that on a factory floor without the boss knowing (then of course the "special" parts would need to go through the toy assembly lines to get built, as the folks on the molding machines don't perform that operation)

I love it when something I wouldn't hand over 5 bucks for sells for hundreds of dollars on Ebay.

lol I know, Ethier she has way to much money or she's a crazier TF collector than I am. I would have paid at most $100 but thats only if I was realy intent on winning a bidding war.
