(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to the original deluxe X-Brawn. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the original deluxe X-Brawn here.)

    X-Brawn's "super" upgraded version certainly gets a major color change. Instead of being mostly silver and green, he's now a veritable plethora of colors, albeit the major ones are green, white, and gold. With all his colors, he's definitely eye candy in both modes. And hey, he's got gold tires! Neato! (He's also got a gold, rather than a silver, engine under his hood this time.) His colors are definitely more suiting for a minivan participating in a race, rather than your conventional minivan. He's even got "Wild 24" on his vehicle mode. Although this may not make much sense for RiD, it actually does in the Japanese series- "Wildride" was X-Brawn's Japanese name, and it was the 24th toy made in that line. I thought that was rather neat. The gold, white, and seafoam green are a simply stunning combination in robot mode. I literally just stare at his robot mode for minutes, it's THAT good-looking. His colors may seem to clash on the show, but that's because they don't really put a whole lot of depth perception into the animation on the show. The toy looks much better, and the colors don't clash at all.
    No mold changes have been made to this toy, so it retains all the flaws and features of its predecessor in that respect.
    "Super" X-Brawn is a very nice toy, and has a more attractive color scheme than the original version, in my opinion. Highly recommended; be warned, however- some people have reported seeing some sloppy paint jobs on a few X-Brawn redecos.
