Takara Transformers Unite Warriors Computron Colour Image

It's glorious...

It's stupendous...

Sadly, Takara gets a points deduction for keeping with the regular Combiner Wars hands and feet while Hasbro gets the new extremities.

That said, I still think I have to go Takara on this one, the first time I've ever picked up a Takara release of a mainline Hasbro product. Deco aside (I don't usually find the Hasbro decos to be all that bad), I like the extra retoolings on the Takara better than the Hasbro.

And assuming that the Hasbro release will be $99.99 as with the other Combiner sets, $134.99 isn't all that bad for the Takara. Worth it.

Disagree. I like the custom feet and fists, but I don't like how they can't be integrated with the individual figures the way the HFG can.

Crap. Might have to get both.

These two figures are so different I definitely want to get both, just not sure if I can afford to. --There was a video on Youtbe where a couple of fans actually compared all 3 releases of Devastator (CW, UW, and SDCC) --While overall the UW version was probably better for its additional weapons, and additional pose ability, they did show how Takara missed some opportunities on the paint scheme.

This is how I feel about Computron. UW is clearly better. But the Hasbro version hand/feet, plus the two additional members make him worth purchasing. Additionally the mold use differences really make these two very unique.

I'm sold. This is the one Takara gestalt I'm buying. Hasbros is beautiful too but I should get one Takara combiner.

Exactly, now everyone there is just going to kinda roll their eye's during the presentation of how amazing hasbro's computron is and then bombard them with questions about whether the new hands and feet can be sold individually.

I wonder if hasbro picks up on being able to make a decent profit on them if they might make a run of hands and feet in black and white for us to use... I doubt it

Considering the vocal fandom online are a fraction of the over all fandom and the fans who go for Takara stuff are also a fraction of the fandom Hasbros Computron will sell just fine.

Hasbros devastator did just fine. I bought Hasbros, my friends only bought Hasbros and he was always sold out at toysrus. I don't know anyone I personally and physically know that bought takaras. It will do just fine. I'm getting Takara for the reason I posted already. I have not gotten one yet and I feel I should give them a go. If I change my mind, Hasbros will do just fine for me.

Still hoping for an Abominus combiner set that has all new, actual beasts instead of yet more Stunticon remolds.

Still, it might be worth getting the CW Computron just to take the hands and feet, paint them silver, and give them to Bruticus...

I never said it wouldn't sell well, I just said people would be rolling their eye's while hasbro tries to hype theirs, knowing there's a vastly superior version that's been revealed already

Fans have been rolling their eyes since the first forum came up. Who cares what those people think?
