    I happen to agree with you, but can you give us any insight as to _why_ you believe this is the case?

    For me:

    - the red head
    - the "fire chief" details are more G1 accurate

    Having seen Tinyjazz's Henkei Alert I'd have to agree that it blows the Generations release outta the water. It just has a lot more 'pop' factor, especially when paired with that shoulder cannon accessory.

    The one good thing about Generations Red Alert is he sits a lot nicer next to Classics 2.0 Inferno. Henkei Red Alert looked just weird next to him. The lack of bling makes the two a better pairing.

    My preference though is definitely the Henkei pairing.

    I concur. Consistency is king.

    I happen to agree with you!

    - the red head....looks better and more cartoony. Red head also differentiates from his mould brothers a lot more.
    - the "fire chief" details are more G1 accurate...and the Hasbro version writing looks unprofessional. It reminds me of nothing you'd see on a vehicle in real life.

    Overall the Hasbro one feels a little bland. I'm sure I'd like it more if the Henkei one didn't reek of casual superiority.

    Was lookinh forward to getting Red Alert but i must say i'm a little dissapointed.

    The Roof came off as soon as i took it out of it's package and had trouble transforming him due to tight joints.

    Mind you he looks good standing next to Inferno
