The chrome makes me wonder if it's United as opposed to Generations. If not, good on Hasbro for chroming it up.

I'd say it's Hasbro's doing, considering they used chrome on the recent ROTF Ravages that they released. Who knows, maybe Hasbro will be going with chrome with some figures that deserve it now.Originally Posted by jaydisc

It's possible that it could be Hasbro's release, if so then that's very good.

From what I have heard / read, they (Hasbro) have been experimenting with the chroming process with figures such as Generations Thrust. Apparently they encountered a few issues but seem to have ironed things out therefore we should start seeing more toys with bling. I for one am in favour of this.

I'm for it as well, as long as it doesn't look tacky. IMO, a number of the henkei look tacky to me with the chrome. Perceptor with the chrome chest looks great. Even the Ravage they released looked a tad tacky to me.

Agree with you 1000% on this. Henkei Jetfire just looked wrong with so much chrome on him. Just because they can doesn't mean they should. IMO Henkei Sunstreaker was awesome because the chrome was very well used and resembled G1 Sunstreaker even more so than the Hasbro release.

Isn't it only chrome on his thrusters?

Yep, and it's too much. Chrome does look good when it's placed appropriately and this just looks out of place.Isn't it only chrome on his thrusters?

THe bot mode is goodlooking, but Im still not sold on the alt mode. Why does a truck have treads for rear wheels? I know its more of a homage to G1 Perceptor having tank treads as well but it just looks weird and trying hard for me.
It looks like he's missing a plow to make the alt mode look more... acceptable in having those rear wheel treads. Still Im getting this.
