    I don't care what people say I like the looks of that Computron. The added bonus of Scrounge is icing on the cake. Individually they are equally amazing. Loving the looks.

    I need Scrounge. Everything else is bad. There are four reused heads in this set. And that Strafe alt mode is just sad compared to Takara's.

    Computron looks great, I'm still going with TT Comp. though. I do like the colors on Hasbros better as well as the feet, but the Nosecone alt mode is very awkward looking to me.

    Huh. Going Takara. Already preordered. I think Hasbro's looks great in combined mode but disappointed by the individual modes.

    Yeah no new heads on strafe, light speed, or Nosecone is a bummer.

    Hrm. No robot modes. Scattershot looks great, not so sure about all the white on Lightsteed. Everything else is fine.

    pictures are all really dark on my screen. I was hoping they'd have the figures out in bot mode and alt mode, in addition to combined. But the alt modes look okay, from what I can see. I'd like to see more pictures, though.

    It looks like Scattershot has colors much closer to the original render of him we saw a ways back, before the "betatron" version?

    I wonder why they didn't just use the TT versions? As it is there was double effort put in to doing Nosecone and Strafe and that seems odd to me.

    The pros of Hasbro's Computron are Orange Afterburner, Scrounge and new hands/feet.

    But TT Computron has more going for it.

    They didn't use the the Takara versions, because they didn't exist when Hasbro would have needed the molds for production.

    Preordered TT Computron for myself an 3 friends. It was an easy decision a couple days ago, and would be even easier now.

    I could swear I saw a new head on Nosecone in the slides.

    Also-- screw what the weebs say, I'm getting this set, no question. It's a different but equally valid take on Computron, I prefer the toy colours, and plus SCROUNGE. I was amazed he actually had an accurate new head, and then of course there's the better hands/feet and the articulation that comes with it...no one can say that there's not a lot to like here, unless they're Takara stans.

    That Strafe alt looks more like Strafe than Takara's. Gonna be a tough choice. Love the alts on Takara but Strafe and overall colors on Hasbro way more diverse.
