    No they just screwed them up.
    To adhere to the animation model the big toe would be in front of the leg not hanging down below it like a stilt. It looks even stranger with the godbomber armor attached as it looks like stilts with extensions.
    I think what the real reason for the big toe stilts are is just to give the figure ankle tilt, and even then there are probably better ways they could have don it than the way they did it.
    The same goes with the godbomber armor attachment they could have done it better. One way off the top of my head is have the big toe slide down from in front of the leg and have the armor wrap around it, or have a cw like port on the bottom of the foot.

    I think it's really funny that they point out the Hasbro version. I don't recall them ever really showing how they've changed a figure before in their marketing.

    Anyways, it looks real nice.

    The box image is the first time I really paid attention to what the truck mode looks like. The robot mode is an emormous improvement over the Hasbro version, but there were some definite costs to the vehicle mode. The side windows being a different size than the front window is odd, and the red/blue front of the trailer is kind of a mess. The Hasbro truck is certainly more cohesive as a whole.
    If I had the money/space, Takara's in robot mode next to Hasbro's in alt mode.

    Can't wait to get that Generations book in-hand. Hopefully tomorrow. And then Super Ginrai in about a week to 10 days...

    man do i love figures packed in vehicle mode.
    Love that the shape of the box is more akin to the original.

    Really wish they'd gone the distance and remolded the side panels of the cab.

    Nice to see the comparison picks between the Hasbro and Takara PMOP/GG in both robot and vehicle modes. I hadn't noticed so many differences and prefer most of the Takara ones. Glad I pre-ordered the Takara version, especially with the exchange rate in favor of the US Dollar as of late.
