    Henkei Astrotrain for sure. His colors are better than the USA version, and Henkei Cyclonus looks like a tarted-up pansy. Get the Universe Dark Purple version of him.

    Astrotrain for sure. I love Henkei's Astrotrain but prefer the darker colors of Hasbro's Cyclonus. Either way you can't lose.

    Astrotrain. The Henkei version of Cyclonus is utter pants - the Universe colours are way better.

    Henkei Astrotrain. Cyclonus is nice, but the G1 colors detract from his badassiness. He's too bright.

    Get Astrotrain. Cyclonus is technically the better mold, but the pastel colors on the Henkei version are terrible. If you want that mold (and you do - you really, really do), stick with the Universe version.

    I don't have any but I think Cyclonus look mush better in pale lavander.

    He's more show accury and he looks more like a cute bunny [​IMG]

    Astrotrain, he has been out for awhile and many places are sold out or are carrying low stock. The Hasbro version is no longer available at retail while Universe Cyclonus is pretty easy to track down. If you like the Henkei versions better though, try to save up and get both.

    I'd say Cyclonus. They did a amazing job with that figure.

    well, i will end up getting both, but if Astrotrain is winning by 20 votes then i'll get him first :D 
    (P.S. its kinda hard to type when you can only use one hand due to a possibly broken arm T_T)
