    I prefer the USA version--in my opinion, the colors appear to be a better combination. This is the comparison of my 2 Bluestreak/Silverstreak figures.

    The red and gray on the Henkei are more accurate to the cartoon than the maroon and black. Plus he had all silver launchers on the cartoon, not red and silver. So the Henkei is actually more cartoon accurate.

    I would love to get that Red Alert. Does anybody got Henkei Dirge and/or Thrust? Are they worth it?

    I concur, Henkei Dirge & Thrust are probably the best Henkei Seekers and better than their Botcon counterparts.

    I beg to differ. I think the Botcon pieces are nicer. :duel 

    Lose those "camo-stripes" on the Henkei wings & they would look way better.

    It's a matter of preference on colors. One is G1 toy based the other G1 cartoon based. Between the cartoon colors and better (IMO) wings, I prefer the Henkei. :)

    i could give you Thrust, but i don't know how it's even arguable that Dirge isn't better, since he has his proper wings...

    True that! :)  Granted, I love Universe and Classics too, but usually prefer the Henkei versions.
