Its very hard to wait for the Henkei toys, though with luck I'll manage for the deluxe toys. The bigger ones I'm not so fussed over as I think the moulds are pretty average wahtever colours there in. Cheapest will do thanks.

The same thing happened with Universe Powerglide.

Megatron

I don't need to explain this unless there is someone in this Universe who actually prefers the Hasbro version.


To be fair Classics Astrotrain does bear more resmeblance to his original toy versions, I don't think its fair to label him the same as Powerglide who is completely divergent from show and toy. Henkei Astrotrain is clearly way better though.

As for megs he's lame in both versions. The Grey one is clearly better but unfortunately he still turns into a nerf gun. Megatrons Purple and white colouscheme are his punishment for having such a silly altmode. But then again on the other hand if you painted him all black in gun mode he might look a bit like the gun from Blade Runner....

Hmmm...


PS: Universe Sunstreaker looks the same colour as a urinal cake in the photos linked above
