Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

What's the difference between Takara and Hasbro animated releases? Is it the same as with the CHUG lines in that the Takara ones have higher quality/better looking paint apps?

Or are they much of a muchness?

All depends on which line you're looking at.

CHUG there's the obvious paint app difference.

TF:PRime there's the build-it-yourself micron toys that come with the Takara releases.

ROTF had the famous Takara-release Leader Class Buster Optimus Prime who had sick silver paint apps and his awesome gun.

Japanese versions often had some shiny parts to them, like the United toys.

In my experience TakTOM Animated Blitzwing also has better quality plastic than Hasbro's. Blackout was a TakTOM exclusive toy, as Hasbro's version got cancelled.

That's good for Armada, but not for "and beyond".

Unicron.com is building up more recent series but still has some big gaps.

The Hasbro website also hosts a lot but it's a pain to search.

thanks paulbot.i'll be bookmarking each site for the future.

I've added a page in our resources section, with a list of links to Transformers Toy Instructions, for future reference.

Is it possible that Hasbro AU may be skipping the Grimlock/Blaster wave, because it's seeming very likely to me and I'm not very fond of that?
Hopefully we'll get them eventually...
