While it seemed like a non news story to Hasbro PR, who are working on a more official announcement, the fact that so much attention has been put on Hascon and the lack of mention of SDCC all through this time did let the fan community doubt Hasbro's attendance. This is just to say that we have confirmation it is not the case, and it should be business as usual with Hasbro at SDCC this year.

SDCC 2017 is 20-23 July. I think by then we'll have seen all of TR.

Dont be so sure, we only saw the wave 4 of CW at SDCC (or was that Botcon, same difference in terms of timing). I am pretty sure thats where we will see the two next box sets too. They seems to always reveal boxsets at SDCC. Oh and I predict they will also show RID toys that have already been found in stores

But jokes aside, the thing people hated about SDCC Devy was that it didnt have the takara improvements.

They didnt fix the eyes and the hips are still grey. the big difference is the flames on the chest (which dont look that great) and the feet (which I admit look better). Still not loads beter than the original.
Will wait for the reveal of a platinum box set.

Weirdly they still paint the collar blue which should be silver and they've added blue on the upper arms that should be silver (and is silver on the regular figure) but didn't bother painting the shoulders blue when they should be. I just don't get why they do these things.
And yeah the chest flames don't look right. I still haven't attempted those on my figure yet (still hoping for a Reprolabels release of them) but I'm much happier with the current state of my custom figure than this new more expensive still-not-accurate deco.

I dont. Its all about demand and supply. You can make a ton of slivers from those 6 wheels (he has 6 right?). If they could sell it for more, they would.
Its like those sports cards with a piece of a jersey worn by a player. Limited sure, and a piece of something real, but theres a bunch, and not enough people are ready to spend all that money, so it ends up not being much, like these lackluster auctions:

Here is an excerpt from the article which speaks of the design and its link to Primitive Skateboarding.
The autobot figurine was partially designed by Primitive Skateboarding founder Paul Rodriguez, and features some updates to the character’s traditional red and blue paint job. This Prime belongs to the Titans Return Powermaster reprise and is decorated in black and gold — a nod to Primitive’s signature colors. The toy figurine also comes with a ramp, rail, and hoverboard, so it can “Shreddicus Maximus” whenever he’s not battling the Decepticons.
TRANSFORMERS PRIMITIVE OPTIMUS PRIME Figure
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99/Available at Booth #3329 at Comic-Con International in San Diego)
Before OPTIMUS PRIME was blasting DECEPTICONS in battle, he was greasing the wheels of his skateboard with fellow skater, SHREDDICUS MAXIMUS. Shredding rad gnar on the boardwalks of the Senti Rust Pier, they up their street cred while nailing down their signature trick, the Null-Ray-Ray, annihilating the competition into mere grime… Now get ready for the gnarliest TRANSFORMERS stunt of the 21st century… TRANSFORMERS has worked with Primitive Skateboarding, the company founded by legendary skateboarder, Paul Rodriguez, to roll out this special edition TRANSFORMERS PRIMITIVE OPTIMUS PRIME Figure convention exclusive. Co-designed by Paul, the figure features Primitive Skate’s classic black and gold colors for a more sophisticated and on-brand look. To up the skateboarding theme, the figure is placed in premium Primitive Skate-inspired packaging that mimics a “skate shoe” box featuring grip-tape inspired texture. As the ultimate twist, the pack features rail, ramp and hover board accessories! The pack includes a LEADER CLASS OPTIMUS PRIME figure, a TITAN MASTER SHREDDICUS MAXIMUS figure and eight accessories. Converts from robot to tractor trailer in 23 steps and from tractor trailer to battle station in 10 steps. The TRANSFORMERS PRIMITIVE OPTIMUS PRIME Figure will be for sale during San Diego Comic-Con 2017. Following the convention, a limited number will be available on HasbroToyShop.com.
Here are the new totally radical images of the toy and set.

Also, that hoverboard looks like the one Daniel rode in TFTM, but in black and yellow.

Either way he still looks fraggin' awesome. Shame I won't be able to get him

eBay scalpers? That's how I got Titan force, albeit I'm in the states but the seller was Taiwanese.

I've never used Ebay (mostly don't trust it and I barely have a paypal and only because it's linked to my debit card for purchasing off Ages 3 and up)

Too bad it's a SDCC exclusive, which mean the only way to get him is via scalpers.

You can, you have a bunch of american freinds here and part of the staff. It aint hard for any of them to get it, they just have to order it from HTS and then once they have it they ship it to you. I have done that before. This guy is far from out of reach.

The shipping aint cheap but at least you dont have to rely on e-bay. You can buy it directly from their site.

You can also buy it through HTS, its written in the article, adn they ship to canada.
Prime Target wrote:Oh Great another Exclusive Black repaint I will say though that Shreddicus Maximus riding the Skateboard looks ADORABLE and the deco looks kinda cool I might buy it if the price is low enough
The price is ridiculously low for a SDCC exclusive, its only $50. Thats how much the regular non exclusive version costs.
Posted by Terrsolpix on June 20th, 2017 @ 11:05pm CDT
A WICKED (totally safe) half pipe!
Dual TUBULAR grind rails line the outside and have RADICAL platforms for standing on between tricks!
An EPIC 360 grind pipe for INTENSE pipe riding!
And only the most talent skater can claim the [SKATER ADJECTIVE] throne at the top of the fort!
I guess there are guns too but war totally gives off bad vibes, man.

You have about 48 hours - 2 weeks. Depends on how desirable this figure ends up becoming. Going off of last years HTS SDCC exclusives BTW
