Which Hasbro photos are these ones being compared to?Wolfman Jake wrote:I would ask, then, if the colors were purposely skewed on the Hasbro stock photos to show what Takara intends to do with the figure, hence the much darker looking gray plastics. They did alter the photos of Hasbro's Tailgate to remove the blue detailing on his alt mode, after all.

Takara is using different stock photos of the Hasbro versions than the original Hasbro stock photos, which are what many websites (such as the one you linked to) are using.Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Which Hasbro photos are these ones being compared to?Wolfman Jake wrote:I would ask, then, if the colors were purposely skewed on the Hasbro stock photos to show what Takara intends to do with the figure, hence the much darker looking gray plastics.

I'm comparing them to what many websites are using for the Hasbro preorders, such as this one. I'm not sure if these Takara mock-ups are re-uses of Hasbro's stock photos or if Takara made their own stock photos from the Hasbro versions (and then maybe altered them).

Yeah, but that version had its black windows to provide color contrast. The silver/gray windows on this figure blend too much into the white body.fenrir72 wrote:His car mode (Tailgate) was all white in the G1 series so maybe a homage?

There appear to be no differences between the Hasbro and Takara Brainstorms.Madeus Prime wrote:Brainstorm looks meh, Hasbro's is more IDW accurate.

It's weird. The first pics we got had text at the bottom that said that these were the "foreign versions", yet here we get big sized official pics that look exactly the same.Wolfman Jake wrote:So, wait...aren't these still just mock-ups digitally altered (at least in Tailgate's case), of the Hasbro production units?

But the Nebulan mode doesn't look that great... size limitations perhaps? On the other hand the head and the Autobot look pretty good though.
Wonder if he can transform without removing the head.. probably not?

Either Takara's figures are no different from Hasbro's versions (barring Tailgate's blue flames being removed), or something's up here.
