The vehicle mode just looks like something is missing.
This has gone order stop at HLJ.... The first UW set to do so
So glad I pre-ordered at HLJ. That Hasbro set looks horrid, IMO.

The more I see the two versions the more I think Hasbro's is half assed.
I'm actually thinking about ordering a second UW Devastator for the individual Constructicons so I get your thinking Trev.
Yeah thats exactly what I did. I have my CW version in combined mode and my UW version as individual bots.Quote:

The only thing that the CW version has going for it is that little yellow dude who Blaster watched get done in.
A nice set of comparisons of the Hasbro and Japanese Technobots, along with images of the characters from the comic and cartoon.
I'm amazed at how the Japanese Nosecone ends up looking a lot like the original toy/comic, and the Japanese Lightspeed just makes perfect sense at replicating the comic version with the spoiler and "windshield" on the chest. I would have preferred a more mustard colour for Afterburner though, as both toy versions have gone for a red deco. Strafe is the one I am still on the fence about, as the Japanese version is probably the closest to the original, but the hollow arms above the wings spoils it.
That is a really good comparison. I have ordered the Hasbro set, but I may end up getting the Unite Warriors set and use the fists and feet from the Hasbro set.
Only problem that leaves me is that I will have 3 different Scattershots :p
I'm really on the fence about which version to get, and the comparison photos aren't helping!
Getting the Takara version might be the only way to get the bike and shuttle moulds in one easy package, but then I miss out on the tank mould. But I've heard the tank mould isn't all that, plus it is relatively readily available at local retail. But the Hasbro version has that cool Scrounge redeco, plus the new hands and feet. It's a really tough choice, especially when aiming for mould completion of the series!
Really liking the unite colors and molds but prefer the fists and feet from CW. They're forcing us to get both lol. It's probably mentioned somewhere but is scrounge only being sold in the cw set or will he be sold separately at some point? They probably won't sell scrounge as part of the unite series considering he was only in the US comic series?
I've also ordered the Hasbro version. TakaraTOMY version seems sold out everywhere. If I happen to get one, I might display the Hasbro version hasN Computron and TakarTOMY's as individual Technobots, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to hunt down a TakTOM version. I'll be in Japan in late Sept/early Oct so maybe if I can still find one then. <shrugs>Quote:

I'm in the same boat. If this version turned into a gun emplacement it would be perfect to display next to everything else.Quote:

That did it. I need that UW Computron:D
Anyone had experience ordering UW box sets from amiami before? Wondering how much postage would be?
My parents are going to Japan next week and I was thinking about asking them to get me UW Computicon, but then of course, I remembered that this toy doesn't come out until the end of August (that's why they're called pre-orders, duh! :rolleyes:). Although I'll be in Japan in late Sept to early Oct, so I might try and see if I can find one then. :o
I don't like your chances of finding one Gok, this set looks like it's either a smaller run or very popular going by how fast it's selling out.Quote:

I would have been happy win this. I was actually expecting it from Hasbro when word leaked they were doing the set.Quote:

Otherwise I'm happy to just opportunistically see if I can come across it or not. :) I'd like to bring back at least one Transformer from Japan (probably more), and I am planning on going to Akihabara and Den Den Town and hitting places like Mandarakes etc. :DQuote:

I hope they don't use that dull colour for the computing effect on his chest, the stock photos look much better:

Yes but check out the nice orange on Afterburner. They've come to their senses and moved away from the red in the stock photos. Home run!Quote:
