    Slightly darker blue on the Henkei.

    How is Hasbro's better, aside from Wheelie? IMO Henkei Warpath looks nicer because of the darker metallic red but the others(Beachcomber and Cosmos) are pretty much the same.

    Don't know why there's two different threads. The other one has the same pics this one does. Anyways, I'll repost what i said in the other thread.

    I love the Cliffjumper and the deep red paint job of Warpath, but overall they are too similar for me to want to spend the money on them.

    By the way, I had no idea there was a 3rd Brawn....with back-of-the-package paint-less wheels....

    Also, umm....you know the Brawn is mistransformed, right? :D

    Definitely like the Hasbro Wheelie better, and I hope Hasbro releases Cliffjumper stateside. Other than that, the color changes aren't enough for me to want these and the Universe versions.

    Also, when the hell did Warpath become a spy? :crazy: 

    EDIT: Or, for that matter, when did Beachcomber join an attack team?

    Wheelie looks like a toy that's been left out in the sun for a week. Poor thing!

    They look pretty good except for Wheelie. Are Cosmos or Wheelie even out in the US yet? I have never seen them but got Brawn and Beachcomber.

    Yup. They've been out for a few months now. Should be able to find them.

    so there's a Legends Brawn variety with green wheels? Are these hard to get, or common, like the Legends Movie Ratchets?

    I have to agree on Wheelie, the Universe one looks a heck of a lot better, but Takara wins the battle on Warpath though, the others are pretty much the same or I dont care.

    Would love to pick up the Henkei but at $30+ CAD per set it's too rich for my blood considering I'm not generally a fan of legends size figures. Will probably just pick up the Beachcomber and Cosmos (maybe Warpath) at TFCon.

    It's a test shot and not an official release.

    Henkei is lighter, Universe is darker. The Henkei is on the left, and the Universe on the right (unlike every other picture they took).

    The Henkei is lighter actually (it's on the left).

    I don't really see a significant difference that'd make any one version superior than the other or worth paying extra for the Henkei versions, besides maybe Brawn and Cliffjumper (since he IS the difference)

    Not to sound like a jerk, but reading some of the posts over the supposed vast superiority of grand toy master Tomy and vile toy abortion Hasbro *sarcasm sarcasm* in this thread is really making me think that some people just like to kiss Tomy's ass or are Japanophiles :c

    I'm heavily considering getting the henkei set with wheelie since I cannot find his legends toy anywhere
