I initially wanted to get the TakaraTOMY version, but my wife was pregnant around the time of its preorder - and I was already saving my money for Revenge of the Fallen toys - so I skipped it. But as someone who's always been more of a fan of the G1 comics over the cartoon, I'm glad I did, since Hasbro's MP Grimlock came with the crown instead of the brain-scanner and serving kit! King Grimlock > Butler Grimlock! And yeah, my MP Grimlock is always red-eyed too.
