I was just going to post that myself... it's a very nice touch, if you have it displayed somewhere with a darker background. It ends up looking like more like Nightbird than an Arcee mould because of the "disappearance" of the backpack.

What's with the Leader Megatron? Looks like a Dark Energon version released by Hasbro Asia (TF asia) with lighter grey and purple...

Takara's Defensor looks kind of meh, beyond maybe First Aid's more white alt mode (which I prefer).

The fembots are pretty cool. I was expecting more matte colours on Slipstream , but they do look good in metallic. Blackarachnia's nice, as is Nightbird. I might pick up Blackarachnia, if Hasbro makes one.

I'm liking all 4 lady bots.

TakTom Menasor and Defensor don't really do it for me, Grove or not but then neither do Hasbro's version. Superion seems to still be the best of the bunch, and the Japanese one is the best of the two.

Ninja mind tricks!

The ongoing project to create a human-sized transforming Transformer has reached another stage, with a 4 foot (1.3 meter) version now being shown off at the Toy Show.

Thanks for that, after seeing the decos, imo, Defensor is 3/2 in Hasbro's favour - I prefer Hasbro's Hotspot, Streetwise & First Aid, while Takara has Groove and a very nice deco for Blades (as nice as the Hasbro one is, it's very red)

Looks like I won't need that Botcon Slipstream after all.

Oh another exclusive but Darkness Megs on the left still looks better than Nightmare on the right
