I'm not saying this ofthen of the TAV line, but for once, the Hasbro version have the superior deco. Mainly because Starscream is really "surging" and not just boring normal.

A thing to note about Sideswipe: the full name of the set is Windstrike Edge & Sideswipe Hayate Armor, 疾風 hayate indeed translates to "gale".

And why is he translucent? For that matter, why was Sideswipe chosen to have a second armor to begin with?

Takara finally noticed Sideswipe's hair and started singing this song to him:

They probably didn't want to release it in the "Power Up" colors and thought the white version wouldn't sell

I don't like the green armor on Saiyanswipe. I think a more smokey-grey plastic would have worked much nicer.

So besides, of course, the poker chip insignia; what's the differences between TAV Black Shadow and Generations Sky Shadow?

A few paint apps. The difference is negligible.
I can't remember the specific details off the top of my head, but I remember doing a compare and contrast when he was announced.

Aah, so as long as I tear off the poker chip he's basically the same thing? Been thinking of getting him since not only does the mold look fun but the new head and colours make it look so damn cool.

Did you find him for cheap or something?

Yyyyyyyes and no?

The price on him fluctuates a lot, and I mean A LOT. He's 27 quid now but the next day he might be 30 or 21. Same goes for Slipstream, Nightbird and Rumble/Frenzy who I also have wishlisted.

Ugh, that price. Try to shop more!

If you want the girl trio, this could be a nice way to have them all one shot. Great store BTW.

But... but the one I found seemed to be cheaper than all those. Doesn't even have additional shipping.

And that is absolutely extortionate for the three girls. Besides, not exactly wanting Blackarachnia... her head sits way too high.
