i suspect.. if we get red alert in the US.. he'll most likely have a black bucket, rather than the toon accurate red head (like i'm certain the takara version will have)
that totally sucks. now i'm going to have to go ahead and pick up the takara versions. it's a shame. clearly these figures are meant to be toon accurate not G1 toy accurate. it's amusing.. takara came up with these toys and what not.. and hasbro creates the cartoon.. yet with the MP's takara gives them the US toon accurate schemes, and hasbro mucks everything up and goes for G1 toy accuracy. i'm getting sick of it. why can't we just get the exact same damn thing?
i mean.. hell, even hasbro's MP10 is a little different than takaras. i've preferred every single takara release over the hasbro versions. especially when it comes to both primes, hot rod, and grimlock. it really makes me angry. i just don't understand it.. are they changing it a little in hopes that people who buy the takara versions are going to want to get theirs too? .. or do they change **** just to change it? i suspect they want takara customers to purchase their inferior looking versions.
it'd be nice if they'd just get their heads out of their asses and release the same damn thing at the same damn time.
oh well, rant over. sorry.
