    WOW! So what's up with putting Arcee on those poses?

    Speaking of her, Hasbro's version continues to look better for me. The distribution of colors is superior.

    Takara's Chromia is starting to grow up on me though. The combination of colors is pretty appealing but maybe not enough to buy it.

    Takara's Windblade definitely wins. I will be getting one later.

    For me, there's merit in both Arcee's, Hasbro's Chromia winds hands down and Takara trumps Hasbro by a mile with Windblade. Really quite a mixed result, but whatever your preference fembots are dominating February 2015 :)

    Good shots. I honestly don't think any of the Hasbro decos are worse in any way, just different. Even Windblade- the white is nice and bright on her face, but the silver looks good to.

    Excellent photos!
    Takara Windblade really does look great.

    Anyways, it would be much appreciated if one of these threads could actually stay civil for once.
    Thanks.

    Not bad at all, thanks for the pics. I like both Hasbro and Takara, except Takara Chromia, that I don't like, and would paint her face white immediately and her lipstick less long.

    Great pics, still no Charlie's Angels ref poses? And no Nautica anywhere in sight. Everyone knows...she's the hot one.

    Windblade looks sooo much better. That's the only one I'm getting the Takara version of.

    I think I'll hold on to my Hasbro Windblade's sword, but the Legends version otherwise looks amazing.

    Windblade. The colors are dramatically differently in alt mode, enough to even consider her Windblade's twin sister. :eek:  But the face is really much cleaner on the Takara version.

    Arcee is a mixed bag. I think I'd at least want the Hasbro head, as the Takara head looks a bit ridiculous with the accentuated red lips.

    Hasbro's Chromia needs the tinted canopy, but the purple is kind of meh on Takara.

    So really, I'd probably part swap at least two of the girls to get the right combo/look - feels odd to say that, though.

    I hope Hasbro does a more '86 movie accurate repaint of Arcee at some point to get some mileage out of that excellent mold.

    Couldn't you just buy the Legends version? You know, the one this thread is dedicated to?

    I like Takara versions except for Chromia. I'm not sure I like either version of her honestly

    Takara's Arcee looks much better with out the black paint app, Hasbro went with.
