I've just noticed you quoting me as Sir Lube, nice touch
Very nice touch!
"Nice touch."
"Sir Lube".

I'm still getting these, because all said and done I can live with the circles (and doesn't look so bad on Bombshell). What bothers me most about these is how unnecessary it was! Remolding costs money, and both figures originally had enough flat space on the chests to accomodate the stupid stickers! What a waste...

Exactly. It's a baffling move for Takara. Why "fix" something that ain't broke? Despite the unfortunate remolding, which may look less drastic in person, as these are blown up pictures we're looking at, not life-sized representations of the figures, I still think Takara-Tomy's Insecticon duo are superior in that they have a matching color scheme, and Bombshell features greater screen accuracy with his gray chest. My hope is that, maybe in another year or two, when they do a Legends Kickback figure, we'll get all three re-released as a gift pack with premium (matching) decos.

The Generations Insecticons. Here is what Takara did to their chest to accommodate the stickers.
Also, I just recently discovered that Takara's original G1 Predaking was all plastic while Hasbro's had the heavy diecast for the legs, making Hasbro's version far superior. To the point that it was that version which was used as the reissue in Japan.

Those are bloody awful, not just the circles either, the colour schemes just seem so flat and bland compared to the Hasbro versions.

I agree with ya, mate. Definitely seem very flat and boring compared to Hasbro's and the chest especially just looks bland.

With Bombshell, his chest was only grey in robot mode. In insect mode, it was purple like the others, and like the hasbro deco. So Neither is superior, both Hasbro and Takara have accurate G1 deco for one of Bombshell's modes.
Wolfman Jake wrote:True, but Bombshell will most of the time be in robot mode in my display, so the Takara version gives me what I'm looking for, screen accuracy in robot mode. However, the Hasbro version will do nicely for army building some Insecticons. I already have multiples of Hasbro's Shrapnel/Skrapnel to get more Reflectors for my display. The Takara versions will be the definitive characters, while the Hasbro versions will be their swarm clones. I've done similar things with Scourge and the Sweeps and Cyclonus and his "Armada."

So, how the hell does an average collector handle troops building?
