    Man, i'm still torn on either this or picking up one of the shelfwarming Hasbro versions.

    Can anyone do a side-by-side comparison?

    Armada Megatron has a lot of differences.

    Black Convoy compared to Fun Pub Scourge has a LOT less differences. They're all small details here and there but the toys are probably 90-95% the same.

    I love how they gave Black Convoy's translucent parts a redish-pink color like his original figure. Don't care for Armada Megs, but that Scourge will be mine.

    Armada Megatron's chest and head are completely different. TT version looks much better.

    That new deco on Armada Megatron looks sooo much better than the Hasbro version. Closest I've come to wanting to buy that mold but I'm still passing.

    Scourge looks great too but I don't think it's worth replacing my TFCC version over.

    Man I really want that Black Convoy... but not for the price he'll be going for on the aftermarket. Would've been cool if both he and Armada Megs would be regular releases.

    If that Black Convoy can be had at anywhere near retail, it will be added to the collection. Armada Megs isn't bad, but I don't need two in my collection.

    Damn I wish I could afford that Megatron. Armada was the first series I watched, so I had to get the Takara generations Starscream for the cartoon accuracy, but that Megatron will have to remain something I stare at in jealousy.

    I really want both of those despite having their Hasbro equivalents. Scourge actually looks incredibly similar to TFCC's (though my TFCC one has an issue where the legs don't stay together in alt mode so hopefully this one lacks that). Armada Megatron though looks the same in alt mode but so very different in bot mode. I'm incredibly annoyed these are con exclusive though.

    ... News guys have it backwards. Megatron is the 7500 yen 1 per customer one and Scourge/Black Convoy is the 3500 2 per customer one. Why noone else seems to have caught the phenomenal lack of sense takara selling a leader for ~28$ and a deluxe for ~62$ is beyond me.

    Typo in the news post....Convoy should be 3500 and Megatron should be 7500.

    If they weren't exclusives, I'd bite. But nah. Can't afford that kinda noise. Besides, that Prime mold is so small and skinny; gorgeous looking as he is in Black Convoy colours, he's so tiny as to do the character a disservice.

    ... close news crew, but you still forgot to correct the allotments.
    BLACK CONVOY is 2 per customer
    ARMADA MEGATRON which I'm really surprised is ACTUALLY called armada megatron on the page, and not micron densetsu megatron because japan, is 1 per customer.

    Huh. I think the Hasbro (club) Black Convoy might be a little better, but the Takara Megatron wins.
