    Cyclonus is too lilac for my tastes... although it is still a significant improvement.

    Hound is definately my pick of those 3. There's a real chance I'll have to skip the Hasbro one for this... it's that much better. Wow

    Cheetor... I still don't quite know how I feel about these Beast Wars figures and I'm not positive I'll be getting them. In any case, I see advantages to both figures across Hasbro and Takara. I can definately see myself getting Takara Dinobot since I imagine they'll do a show accurate paint job.

    Why is it so hard for hasbro to do a show accurate paint job or at least true to the original toy?

    Cyclonus: Man I'm now glad I preordered that. Proper grey! Silver face! *fan-gasm* 'cuse me, I need to clean up.

    Sure the main purple could have been a little darker, but oh man that freaking rules.

    Hound: It's amazing what some yellow paint can do. If that gun can shoulder mount, he'd just pass in acceptable for me in robot mode.

    Cheetor: Looks very good as a robot.

    These Henkei'ss are far superior to the Hasbro version IMO, definately will pick these up instead of local release

    Swindle is something Hasbro would jump in to repaint for sure. However I am not sure if it will work without remolding as Hound seems rather 'friendly' in his look.

    Scary possibility: I hope TT isn't doing promo shots like Hasbro now.
