    If the Hasbro Sideswipe looked that way, I would buy it. However, it's not enough for me to import (nor are the rest as cool as they may be). The galleries are nice on these, though! I'm really glad to see additional images on the TakaraTOMY versions :)

    For me...

    Breacher: The slight change of shade is not worth the 2nd purchase. My Hasbro version stays.

    Sidearm Sideswipe: It's drab but better than the Hasbro deco. I wished they kept the colar red to break up the sea of silver in robot mode. Takara version for me. They should repaint/retool this mold to movie Tracks.

    Seaspray: I like the brighter yellow but hate the darker gray. My Hasbro version is fine but if I get a chance to get the Takara one for a fair price, It'll be part swapping time.

    Have to say that Sideswipe looks like crap in the Japanese release. All those panel lines really stand out on a solid grey body. They're not as obvious on the US one due to that red flame deco.

    The TakTom Seaspray is a must for me. I'll be picking him up for sure. Looking at the Hasbro version at retail, something just never clicked for me on wanting to buy him. Felt like something was missing or off somehow. But the TakTom version nails it up and down - I love the yellow to death. It really completes the look for me.

    Probably just stick with Hasbro's Breacher... if I ever freaking find one, that is, lol.

    Can I get a news credit for posting links to these pics Friday at 6:36pm - I just didn't think at the time it deserved a new thread & instead dropped the links in the review thread.

    I will just wait for the next movie version of him. I'm sure they will retool him again and incorporate his blades to give him a more accurate movie representation. I also don't like that they keep changing the window colors either. for the next movie even though they made with no top, i hope that for the toy they give him his top and just retool him somehow
