    Takara is moving in the right direction with these Beast Hunter figures. If there's a new head on Optimus, I might actually buy that hideous Tonka truck.

    Ah yes... On my iPhone it looked like a faceplate.. Now I'm on the ipad and I can see it'd just the shading.

    I'm willing to concede Optimus, but at this point there is no (and might never be) "show accurate" on those particular character designs.

    Wow, these are...really boring looking.

    I mean, the only one I'm considering getting is Bulkhead, the others...eh.

    And does Shockwave look blue to anyone else?

    Preordered the beast hunter bulkhead. I really like that mold, but I can't stand the crayola orange with brown poop stains it has. The Japanese version looks ten times better.

    Actually, I saw it on my iphone as well (that's what retina display and pinch/zoom is for :) ).

    Wow, Bulkhead does look a ton better than the Hasblow version.

    Wow from no paint and stickers back to the superior Takara paint apps.

    Very nice but I am barely in to this line so domestic it is.....unless we get more Takara exclusive figures like in Prime.

    Starscream isn't mocha brown. The colour choices are better and take a closer look the paint is no where near the same. Look at lil Ravage...he actually has paint apps on him.

    Back to the phrase: "Everything's better in Japan". The unified and show colors look great on these figures. Hasbro really dropped the ball with the wierd colors on the BH figures.

    I may go after that Prime.

    While I do like the original color schemes for the characters on these molds I still really have no interest in getting them. This also unfortunately confirms no more microns. Wonder if they'll still do single releases since we still haven't gotten singles of a few of the later microns.

    Okay maybe thinking about getting soundwave depending on how he's actually colored. Can't make out jack other then he's dark colored.

    Man, the Japanese BH figures look a lot better.

    If that Soundwave were on shelves, I might get it.

    ... I probably wouldn't, but I'd at least consider it, unlike the one we got.

    i hope not



    takara has the long tradition of better paint apps and more intricate paints then hasbro , only recently line is bad thou
    i always collected japanese line instead of hasbro as they cost about the same as hasbro here ( due to hasbro being overpriced in singapore)
    only recent sticker crap made me stuck with hasbro .

    Wow, these guys look a lot better than the Hasbro releases. Might end up getting these versions instead.
