Yea, aren't they usually the grey color?

I would suspect that it's a final mold test, where they run it through factory conditions with a very limited run and odd colours that might show mold and assembly errors more blatantly than a plain grey or final colour mold.
And grey prototypes are the absolute first prototypes of any figure coming off a mold, where all bits are assembled and checked over for glaring errors. If that's successful, then they'll move on to the final mold test before going into full production.

The only reason I posted this as news, was not to attract the fact that the prototype was being sold, but the fact that we get to see what Megatron looked like prior to the full paint job. Like I said, Hasbro can't do much legally about it. They don't actually have full supervision of the factories that make the figures, so that's we why have seen so many figures prior to their release. When it comes to prototypes, they're supposed to die in a fire, but that just isn't the case sometimes. However they've tried their best, making hard prototypes (pre-production samples), as unattractive as possible to buyers. I ain't touching something that says 'Not For Sale'.
