    Default Henkei Sideswipe, Tankor, And Bluestreak Pics

    http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...ak-pics/13662/

    They look awesome to me and I like how the gun has been incorporated into Sideswipe's shoulder and added detailing to his robot mode chest to break up the red.

    When it comes to Octane I am a little dissapointed that it isn't much more different to the Hasbro version. Its good that they chromed the weapon and the handle of the Tanker blade but they should have chromed the body of the tanker itself. I will still be getting it as it is better than Hasbro's by a small margin but if you already own the Universe one, it doesn't seem worth getting Takara's.

    Bluestreak also looks great! I like the chromed weapons and rear spoiler.

    Maybe TakaraTomy should teach Hasbro how to transform their figures properly...

    It goes to show that Hasbro does not give a damn about the end consumer as those pics are not for the stores.

    The store marketed pics are the packaged ones and if you look closely they do make the effort of making them rather glamorous because the stores are their main target. They don't care what happens to the figures after that or if Johnny was upset when he removed his figure from packaging and its legs fell off.

    Ah good, they removed the air dams on sideswipe and shouldered his gun. I'll get that one now.

    The fans in the US boards don't seem to agree:

    What is it with Takara and that chrome? Those chrome bits on Octane/Tankor just look terrible. It looks like someone took the guns from a different toy and stuck them on there.
    lol

    There is no comparison, the pictures are of different quality. The only way to really compare is to have both versions to look at in your hands.
