Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[FFN]

Hi can we get someone to post the differences between:

1) Hasbro Universe Silverbolt / Takara Universe Silverbolt
2) Hasbro Universe Onslaught / Takara Universe Onslaught
3) Hasbro Universe Powerglide / Takara Universe Powerglide

Photos of packaging and figures will be greatly appreciated. Tks

Silverbolt
Hasbro
- Light grey plastic on jet, lower arms and legs
- Burgundy torso
- Bright red biceps, landing gear and missile
- Dark grey shoulders, thighs and head

TakaraTomy
- Bright white plastic on jet, arms, legs and head
- Red torso, biceps landing gear and missile

Onslaught
Hasbro
- Green/grey plastic
- Black head with silver decos
- Single pulse siren (defective)

TakaraTomy
- Dark blue/green plastic
- Green/blue head with silver face plate (like the cartoon)
- Siren will now play as long as you hold down the button (fixed)

Powerglide
Hasbro
- Predominantly white plastic with red trim

TakaraTomy
- Reverse coloured, so it's red plastic with white trim


Packaging is exactly the same. USA Edition just means they don't want to make new Japanese packaging.

Oooh! Didn't know that.

Damn. Onslaught is the only one I was prepared to skip, as it wasn't different enough with the colours to me. The sound feature on the Hasbro one sucks though, as I figured it was meant to have a longer sounding siren.

Thanks for the list though FFN, as I saw the request, but wasn't keen on trying to find the answers, or guess at them without having the JP ones yet to compare.

Looks pretty grey to me.

If you're happy with how Universe Onslaught looks and don't particularly care about his siren in the first place, then just get whichever one fits your budget. Unfortunately, the way the dollar is now you'll pay far more than you would have a couple of weeks ago

From what I can tell, the Japanese versions of these toys use more or less the same paint operations, layouts and tampographs (well, other than Onslaught's head), though the colours may be different.

C'mooon! Okay, I don't like Mega's hair cut - and it's not because it's green... animé chicks can look good with green hair.

e.g.:
<--HAWT!

I just don't like the style... looks too much like... Guile!

But she's got a mad bod.

oh yeah gok shes HOT :P

That's what I'm talkin' about! *high-fives*

I don't like her hat though... the rest of her "Hogwarts" get up is okay. d:
You know she had to be in Slytherin House.

QFT!

yo, can you use the robot replica's accessories on the corresponding character deluxe (or voyager) figures.

I saw the barricade rotating wheel and wondered if you could somehow attach it to the deluxe figure, thanks

Looks blue to me?

It's interesting to read about the "fixed" siren on Onslaught. I don't especially care for electronic gimmicks in general, but it's nice to know that Takara either 1) realised that there was a defect or 2) realised the idea needed some... encouragement.
