Well, the blue bit of his nose cone is in his anime colours. The rest of him is dressed for a Miami Vice convention.

The black Hasbro version looks cool but this is more show accurate. He's a must buy.

Two things: 1) Hasbro version is purple. 2) Can you show me the episode where Cyclonus was lilac? I keep hearing about the show accuracy of this Henkei version, but every image of the cartoon Cyclonus I can find looks light blue to me. I don't think I'm colour blind.

The purple is a little darker in person than in the picture.

Yeah, I've heard a couple of people say that now that I think back. I'm kinda sorta tempted to get him as Cyclonus's embarrassing '80s-obsessed brother.
But it is annoying that the blue on his nose cone really does look show-accurate to me.

Takara seems particularly fond of this purple color. They used it on their G1 Galvatron reissue as well.
Online pics are difficult. The color IS too light for true show consistency, but at the same time, pictures don't seem to show how dark it really is.
I take it Ratchet was not released in tandem?

Im tempted to get it only for Nightstick with a red face and chrome legs, don't like that purple at all
not a big fan or the red all over Ratchet eather, not the shade just the fact that is all over him and in places it doesn't need to be
Red Alert & Smokescreen look to be perfect and you can see Dinobot has that blue on him, what happed? did the guy who normaly sorts the colours and that go on holliday or something?

Yeah, I was surprised that Ratchet wasn't on the store shelves. According to e-Hobby's website, his release date has changed again. Now it's February.
