    Starscream, Shockwave, and Soundwave all using muted tones of blue and grey reminds me of the Beast Wars 2nd Cyborg Beasts.

    It's a shame the Missiles on the Tomy Optimus are not clear Blue as the missiles not being clear is one of the things I like least about the Hasbro Optimus.

    Hopefully they will find a spot to slot in some Microns in gift sets at some point. Even if they no longer include them with the toys themselves or perhaps they can make more Capsule figures or in individual small boxes or as single kits to sell in supermarkets.

    The Sword and shield type ones are really good and more like those would be great.

    Went ahead and preordered EG-06 Megs, its different enough from Hasbro's Universe release.

    The Optimus looks incredibly boring now with the standard blue windows.

    Not a huge fan of the molds, but Soundwave and Starscream look interesting. At $30 each I may pick up one or two of these. Grant it we have a sale at Target right now, but at retail prices, we are getting close to only a $10 difference between retail and import figures. Makes it a lot easier to cherrypick some of these.

    Well, I guess we know why Hasbro's BH figs look so Shitty. :( 

    *sigh* I guess i have no choice but to get Takaras version and sell off the one's i already have. :(

    I respectfully disagree: IMO, the green windows made Prime look even more like a shitty knock-off of a shitty knock-off.

    I do like the blue windows on Optimus, but I confess the green on my US release has grown on me.
    The green plastic on the Star Saber really pops under overhead light.

    However, the Takara Bulkhead and Starscream really look great in those colors.

    Optimus looks great!

    Everyone else, not so much. Dunno if I'll actually spring for Optimus, since it's only the painjob that's been changed, and I can paint the windows and stuff myself. I also kind of like the green star saber better? Mostly because I hate Prime's star saber, so the innaccurate deco helps make it more a generic sword. Starscream and Soundwave looks pretty boring, Bulkhead looks REALLY boring, and nobody else is even worth mentioning.

    Maybe he needs something to offset it? I like the blue windows, honestly.

    Maybe he just needs some colour on his jetpack.

    Hasbro has too many colors, Takara not enough.

    Starscream is bizarrely similar to Megatron now.

    Glad I went with Hasbro's Optimus. The green is different than the other hundred Optimus toys, which IMO is a very good thing.

    I just may get Bulkhead. I'm not to crazy about Hasbro's BH one. I'm anxious to see what they do with Smokescreen.

    BH Prime with more blue seems nice... but eh... already got the US version so pass. The Bulkhead looks much better in more accurate colors... but he's a deluxe so... meh.

    BH Starscream looks curious... that's supposed to be "show accurate?"

    Looks like they added gold onto his dragon head spikes and a few orange accents by his 'ribs'

    Why does Japan always get the good stuff...There figures are painted awesome compared to the U.S. releases. The beast hunter figures here look like they randomly picked 3 crowns from a 64 crown box and that was the color scheme.

    Hmm...Bulkhead, Optimus, Starscream and Soundwave, I'm in on.

    Predaking (grey looks darker than Hasbro's, bu that's it?), Bumblebee (no good shot), Wheeljack (looks blander to me) and Shockwave (I wasn't going to use the beast armor anyways since its removable) will probably be Hasbro buys for me, unless future scans show something different.
