I mean, I'm glad they're proud of their work, but... While I've got no problems with this mold, I could not care less about this. I'm not the audience for it, I suppose, and don't know who is exactly.
Hasbro locked in on that Any% Mold Degradation speedrun

Are there any major collectors that still go after test shots and prototypes? Because it would amuse me if someone bought a test shot of the test shot Prime...
More seriously, I would be a lot more interested in this if it was Deluxe G1 toy Prime. That figure would be good in any flavor.

That one I'd rather get a Sentai team recolor multipack of, yes.
It's not even that this mold is bad, because it isn't. It's just an odd choice to celebrate their design process with an official released product in general (although it has been done). Although the format does suggest one reason this mold was picked (aside from Because Optimus); wasn't this one of the lower-cost assortment things?

Hope the uncolored one is intentionally super floppy and fragile.
For accuracy.

I'm the audience for this. I adore the idea here.
But I have no use for it. When Deluxes were $10 each? Sure. Three of this mold at today's prices? No. This is a just for fun kind of thing, at a price I'd have to seriously plan around.

Optimus Prime- Red
Nemesis Prime- Black
Delta Magnus- Blue
Sentinel Prime- Yellow
Ultra Magnus- White
Totally works
If they did combiner limbs or Junkions/Armorizers/etc. in crazy testshot colors, oh, yeah. This is interesting (especially the unpainted one) but not what I'm looking for. (Still bummed we never got Titan Master head multipacks.)
That being said-- it is a New Idea, and I like to encourage those.

I'd have gotten it if they approximated the Bump of Chicken Convoy colors with either of the "early copy" ones. Claim it's the usual random plastic test whatevers.
I'd get it if it were the Legacy Deluxe mold and the Production version had all the sticker details painted. They have to know people want that, yet they still haven't found an outlet for it.
I think they hinted at doing this during the last Pulse stream...
Agree with everyone else. The IDEA is interesting, but I never really liked this particular mold enough to buy even one of it, much less a $75 (I'm assuming) box of three of it. I do appreciate the team trying new and different things, though.
Ah yes, in the Before Time; in the Long, Long Ago. I remember when you didn't have to make major life decisions about buying a Deluxe Transformer.
The unpainted one should've been cast in whatever colors they had from other runs in the factory that day. If only because it would drive variant hunters up the wall
At some point I'm going to do the research and see when all the price increases happened since Beast Wars and put them on a chart and compare them to inflation and the cost of oil.
That leaves a green or another colour for the sixth ranger
