    Lockdown, I just don't understand why painting him in those colors.

    That Bombshell still looks ugly as hell and yes, you might be able to peel off the sticker from Shrapnel but that means he doesn't have a Decepticon symbol either.

    The designs for these figures are all over the place.

    If you're going that route then you can also easily say that you can get the Reprolabels set for Skrapnel and Bombshell to make their colors look more coherent.

    It's a flawed logic and doesn't excuse Takara's poor choice for the designs.

    I was wondering that too, but I figure it's because Animated fits in better with the RID15 molds aesthetically than the RTS version would have. I love the idea of Lockdown's original design in movie colors so I might pick this guy up.

    For me it does, getting Transformers stickers is pretty hard here in Peru and I have to import pretty much everything. Even a little symbol costs.

    So Takara screwing-up this affects my preference for the figure.

    Plus, tampographed symbols will always looks better than simple stickers.

    I can't say I'd pass on a nice Blackout redeco, I'd vastly prefer Thundercracker or a non-gold hydrodive Bumblebee.

    Good point, Thundercracker and non gold Hydrodive Bumblebee would be amazing.

    I also want a deluxe Battle Begins Optimus Prime in the Wingblade Armour like Hasbro was going to do.

    Does anyone else absolutely love the packaging and art on these guys? I love those anime-style Insecticon drawings, and the Lockdown box is beautiful just because I never expected to see TFA art on a retail release again.

    I got the Japanese Bombshell in the mail today. While the color scheme is indeed awesome and more show-accurate than Hasbro's, the Japanese one not only has the stupid sticker, but a circular indentation has been added to the mold to house the sticker. So even if I did remove the sticker, there'd be this stupid circle on his chest.
