On second thought -- definitely not feeling an $80 price tag for him either.

Come on Ryan, there's got to be some way to buy figures for the site as a business expense and write them off. You have to have him to do a proper comparison for the good of Seibertron.com members and guests!
Since when is Seibertron.com a business?

Proof that the Takara releases are not always the superior ones.
Not with the movieverse they aren't, since almost each figure is the exact same as the Hasbro version.

First of all, for those who says it's better to have the logos - you're telling me that Leadfoot actually looks BETTER with a bullseye painted on his chest? Yeah...
Second, "42" has a very negative superstitious connotation in Japan, just as "13" has a negative superstitious connotation in European and European based cultures.
Finally, is this about the figure not having any logo, or just the fact that all the American corporate logos (including the Impala logo for the car itself, strangely) are removed? I'm thinking it may be former because it is SUPPOSE to be a stock car and they normally have corporate logos brandished all over the car. If it's the latter, well, yeah...oookkaay...

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Collectors are just as likely to pick it up as being "cool" as westerners are to seek out the number 13 for the sake of irony.

It's not the 42 that's the problem, but the 4 itself, which sounds close to the word for "death" in Japanese and Chinese. In extreme cases one speaks of Tetraphobia.

There's more to it that just that. Look up "42" on Wikipedia.
