Takara accuracies

As you know, Takara is known to make Transformers that fit the respective anime. An example of this is color anime accuracy. (ex: Micron Legend Shockwave) Also Takara modifies their figures as well to match the storyline. (ex:Micron Legend Hot Rod in which his hand lights up for the Star Saber where in the show, he was the wilder of it)

Talk about any of Takara's accomplishments if you like.

Making Henkei Ramjet's pilot seat chrome, to accurately reflect the mirrored finish that real pilot seats have.

Henkei Grimlock's bitchin' bling pants.

In all honesty, I don't own Takara figures except Thundercracker.

I can name some from the top of my head.
Galaxy Convoy
Sonic Bomber
Vector Prime
G1 Starscream (TFC #9)
Superlink Galvatron G

Takara's Tidal Wave ironically was still not show accurate. The show deco was almost entirely blacks and grays, while Takara added some purple to make it more interesting. Look at the heads, animation is black around silver face, toy is purple around a dark gray face.

TFW Transformers Resources! Everything you wanted to know about US Transformers but were afraid to ask!

Despite the sarcasm already prevalent in this thread (there'll be more I assure you), I think Takara's main accomplishment is in producing TF that look great on display, have superior paint applications to their Hasbro counterparts and generally look/feel better for the adult collector, as opposed to mass-market toys aimed primarily at children (there's nowt wrong with that BTW, and I love Hasbro, but I prefer to collect mostly Takara).

Binaltech was about a million miles ahead of Alternators, Henkei is ahead of Classics-Verse, Masterpiece ahead of the US equivalents etc etc.

Yeah, sure, all opinions - but this thread is all about opinions (heck, pretty much every thread around here is!)

Classics/Henkei Megs. wow what an improvement. need to get that one...

Boxes, instead of blisters for packaging. This is the main reason I only import Takara TFs. I have a bunch of Hasbro stuff, and I hate the blisters with weird shapes (movie toys) and boxes with million flaps (Animated voyager class). Henkei comes in blister packaging, but at least they're box-shaped making it much easier to store.

Radnuhm chromez! Greenscream....

Uh..yeah much better >_>

Here are a few more by Takara that deserves mentioning.
Superlink Roadbuster
Car Robots Gigatron
