You should probably include the SDCC version.

Also, huh; shame. I was hoping Takara would paint the guns at the end of Brainstorm's front end thingy like SDCC.

I totally agree, though what I preferred on takara's was the painted gun and the all that paint on the titan master. But the lack of paint on the shoulders jut makes it look so bare. I did a double take and went to check the Botcon images because I was thinking "if Takara's looks this bland, how bad was the Hasbro one?

Also I noticed that the crotch on the Hasbro version is transformed differently than on Takara's

One LG39 please...'nuff said!

I can't quite see it; what's different about it? I'd look again but I'd feel uncomfortable looking at Soundwave's crotch that much.

The Hasbro version above is missing the cover with the buttons on it that are shown on the Takara Tomy version. The Hasbro version does have it, it's just an issue with the one on display.

Dang it Takara. All of the feels.

The Takara-head looks good, all it needs is a faceplate. It looks like it's got indents between his face and "sideburns".. maybe enough to tab a fan-made faceplate.

Mold-wise, the wings on his shoulders look goofy, good thing they can be swept back though.

It would be nice if the wings could collapse a little. I'm actually surprised they don't! A little double hinge in the middle of them or something.

Also, as I've said before, I needs the faces! No faceplates for me. Unless it was supposed to have one. In what I'm referencing the figure to in my head

Cyberpath wrote:Yeah, another hinge would have looked good and closer to the cartoon.

*dat boombox snip*

Agreed. And that is really the only reason I want Blaster, break-battles between Metroplex and Fort Max. It's gonna take a while to get the poses right, but it'll be worth it.

Not really interested in the comics tbh. Logan made one though.

Doesn't matter if you like the comics are not. It's what it's based on. His entire head is based on IDWs head and the colors are as well.

It's like posting a comparison of apples and oranges and saying "I know I should compare an orange with a clementine but I don't like clementines"

I wonder if he can bend his arm enough to perch Blaster on/over his shoulder like a true 80's hero on the street would?
