    Probably I will get told off my posting here from members that will say - "Fail. Pics r available in other threads" or sumthing like that. But here is my contribution on Hasbro TFU Hound and the Henkei one.

    Addendum : The gun Henkei Hound is packing is from the 2pack Deluxe Prime and Tank Megatron. NOt sold with Henkei Hound.

    Thanks Dinobot Nuva for reminding me. :thumb

    ^Nice pics, but just to let the newer folks who come in here trying to make a decision, Henkei Hound doesn't come with the extra gun.

    Henkei Hound is indeed nice. The darker green really makes a difference. Any side-by-side vehicle pics?

    Can't decide which is cooler, Classics Sunstreaker, or Henkei

    I must say I'm glad I opted for Henkei Hound over the Universe.

    Yeah, I like the Henkei Hound green much better too. Much more realistic looking. So far, it's about 50/50 for me in terms of getting Henkei vs Classics but for Hound, it's definitely Henkei all the way...

    GREAT pics, thanks for that, it actually helps me make a lot of decisions about what to buy next. That white bumblebee variant with the blue decorations - what is that?? I want one so bad, but googling has revealed nothing.

    It was one of the 2007 Botcon exclusive figures, and it as called Bugbite.

    http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/convention-exclusives-246/bugbite-1458/

    Also, not trying to sound like a jerk when I say this (since this is the second time I've said this), but, Trailbreaker77, you should take new comparison pictures of the two Prowls, like I recommended back in October. The misstransformation on Hasbro Prowl gives an unfair advantage to the Henkei version.

    Yep Henkei Hound is a no brainer. I have Ironhide and Sunstreaker on the way. Does anyone know if the Henkei version of Sideswipe has a darker red?

    Ravenxl7, I have not forgotten about this I am working with a member of the photo staff to help improve my lightbox and improve my pictures. Since photographing a white figure on a white back ground can be tough I thought I would get some advice. I plan on a reshoot this Friday(tomorrow) of Prowl. Also I have Universe Sideswipe, Bluestreak, Cyclonus & Hound but I have Henkei Ironhide, Octane & Onslaught I just need to get their matching counterparts so I can do galleries of these figures. Oh and Raven you are NOT a jerk.

    Seconded!

    And DavidLoPan, from everything I've heard Henkei and Universe Sideswipe have pretty much identical colors. The big difference is the Henkei version doesn't come with the jetpack. I'm a diehard Henkei fan, but I got the Universe version of Sideswipe based on those two facts and his lower pricetag. Check the TF Feedback forum if you want to find out more.
