Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

blackie is right.

ohh theres one in the capitol square. ill have to have a look for it next time in there. Top level near all the photo machines?

Yeah... but away from those machines. When you go up the escalators take a left. Not sure if they have any G1 reissues there or not. Oh, you may notice some toys that look like G1 reissues near the Gashapon machines but don't be fooled - they're fakes.

too lazy to find out , when will all the big announcements and presentations on new toy info be made @ Botcon?

What has a better paintjob out of TakaraTomy and Hasbro ROTF Sideswipe? Hasbro's looks kind of dull, Takara's looks cool but haven't seen any pics aside from official photos.

Here's some comparison pics. I'll likely go Takara with this one. Otherwise, Sideswipe and Sideways' colors (and names?) are too similar.

Cheers Jay. Takara it is.

...I thought your question was about Sideswipe, not Sideways. ??

Anyway, here's a picture of TakaraTOMY's Sideswipe (right):


And here are some photos of Hasbro's. Took me a while to find some undoctored images! (grrrr)

Yeah I figured they'd be similar colour-wise to what Jay linked, I haven't seen any out of packaging pics for the Takara one though and figured it was just a prototype. Cheers mate.

Whoops. Sorry enforcer.

There have only been two 1st wave figures that I've heard have differences between the Hasbro and Takara versions, and they are Sideways (as shown) and Breakway (again with a darker color). I have seen nothing directly said or shown about Sideswipe or any others.

Hey what do we think the likelyhood is of japan getting a better version of ROTF leader prime before we do? i.e some sort of premium version

I don't have my old G1 Scourge anymore, but now I have the targetmaster version. Any differences between the two bodies? I can't seem to notice anything or maybe I'm just a noob.
