He does look pretty good. I like him, I'm just happy with my Magnus so I'll pass

[william-james88]

You guys will find me nuts but with that awesome pic of the three of them, I realize how Magnus would look better with white legs. I might have to buy the Hasbro version instead, even though it has inferior paint apps.

Are you saying Hasbro's deco is much lamer than it might look on pics?

[william-james88]

Oh! Turns out both the white and red legs are comic accurate:

[Sabrblade]

However, Takara's Magnus has much more of the comic-accurate details, like all the little glowing lights on the shoulder pylons and the waist. And the Autobot symbols on the shoulders.

The red thighs are a deal breaker for me too. I got Hasbro's Ultra Magnus months ago, and I couldn't be happier. Those green feet are a deal breaker for me on Springer too. Even though the desaturated green and yellow are closer to the colors on the animation model, the more vibrant green and yellow on the Hasbro version just pop so much better, and I appreciate the two tones of grays to break things up further and create a more dynamic look. In fact, that helps emulate the color layout of the animation model that much better. That Takara Arcee, though, is perfection. She's the definitive version for my Classics collection.

I could not agree more! She is perfect.

Ugh, that Takara Springer.

Good times

Ugh, that Takara Springer.

My sentiments, exactly.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Ugh, that Takara Springer.

I have the Hasbro Springer (on the left), and he looks much better than the Takara one. The colors just contrast better.

In some ways, the Hasbro one looks like it SHOULD be the Takara one, and vice versa. THAT'S how much better the Hasbro one looks than the Takara one.

I agree and I'm usually a Takara stalwart.

Are you also in the camp of Generations Wheeljack being better than Henkei Weheeljack ?

In all seriousness, is anyone NOT in that camp?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Call me crazy, but all 4 autobots in this page are hasbro superior in my opinion. The other versions just don't look as nice to me, Even arcee (but that's cause I like the extra black)

A bit of truth in the statement. Though I won't go to the extreme in the term "lame". Maybe depending on the monitor quality or the picture from the uploads.

The color hue tends to go wacky that when you see the actual item, you go wha?

TT Sandstorm was a good example of this issue. TT Springer compared to the HB, well to each his own preference but imo, the latter would serve as a good base unit for a custom. As it's too dull (the again that's my personal preference).

That or just like people, some figures are more photogenic than others.

Wait, which Springer do you think is "dull?" If it's the Takara Tomy one, I think you mean "the former" instead of "the latter."

Maybe, though I don't have the figure, i looks better in than the other in pictures.

HB, Hasbro. I find that one custom material dull.So the latter. He's like shelf warming all over TRU here in S.E.A.

I've honestly never liked any deco TT has offered (that isn't exclusive), up until Runabout

What about the robots in disguise line? Or Superion?

What I hate about TT is the 6 month wait.

Also, when Canada Post have a HURR DURR moment and send my packet to a post office that is at two bus rides over instead of the one that is just accross the street.

Ya know what? You're right, I've actually liked every deco they released in the rid'15 line; I was originally talking about the generations/legends lines, because it irritated me that they weren't that great to me; and I felt the same way about the hasbro rid'15 line, so the tav line kinda slipped on by
