UW computron looks better with CW computron hands and feet

Green windscreen aside, I actually prefer the look of CW Afterburner over the UW one. I get that the UW one is more show-like, but I think the toy-accurate colours on the CW version looks nicer. Otherwise the UW figures definitely look better than their CW counterparts.

im always concerned with the feet of these combiners because you need stability when displayed on the cab while sometimes a little one shakes it...Noooo!

Totally agree, Afterburner was one of the few transformer toys I owned as a kid (1 of 6), and I was absolutely gutted Takara went the way they did with him because everything else with UW is on point, and it's the only reason why I never ended up purchasing a Computron

In TakaraTOMY's defence, UW Afterburner's colours are cartoon accurate which is what they're aiming to achieve. It's just that the cartoon colours suck compared to the original toy colours (IMHO). There are many times when the original toy colours are better than the cartoon colours. Shockwave's another good example; the dark and richer purple of the toy is far nicer looking than the pale lavender used in the cartoon.

But we know that a lot of fans demand show-likeness which is what TakaraTOMY typically aim for. And in this case Hasbro have gone the other way and have run with toy accuracy on their version.
