I thinkI may actually go for the Hasbro Rewind, his face is painted more like the IDW comics. That said, I may get this one anyway because they both look really nice. Im definitely sticking with Takara Wheelie, he looks WAY nicer. I wasn't planning on getting any of the other three due to lack of knowledge of the characters (plus Blaster and Fort Max are super expensive!) but those colors have really drawn me in with Wolfwire. I'll try to get him once he pops up on BBTS.

With Weirdwolf, once again it's a case of Hasbro going for more toy details while Takara tries to keep it as cartoon accurate as possible. The difference are pretty few, though. Both look great, and the Hasbro deco doesn't look overly embellished, and the Takara deco doesn't look too "plain" either. I think it really comes down more or less to which face you like better.

While I appreciate how much more paint is on the takara one, I preffer how he turned out with Hasbro's "less is more" approach. The paint on the takara face throws me off a bit.

Wow, I see no problem sticking to the Hasbro one for this. Especially since a yellow apeface doesnt interest me. Also, its nice to see that both have a nice mix of colour and paint apps, Hasbro even has the shins painted, nice!

Takara's Wheelie definitely wins the "most improved" award. I knew that sculpt had great potential with the Hasbro reveal, and I am please to say that Takara has done just about everything I had hoped they would to make Wheelie's deco on model with the G1 cartoon. About the only thing they didn't significantly change was the "knee caps," though I can see why, as they'd mess with the look of the front of his vehicle mode.

Agreed. That warmer "beige-gray" on the Hasbro version looks a lot cheaper, especially so on Power Master Optimus Prime. I have a feeling that I'll be holding out for Takara's "Ginrai" version of the figure.

Wheelie and Blaster look better in those photos. Wolfwire still just looks really poor.

I bet you're right WJ, SDCC Fort Max should be cheaper through HTS, but is the only difference going to be that he comes with the sword? Or is it a new deco as well?william-james88 wrote:Me looking at these new reveals:Would the SDCC version from Hasbro Toy Shop be cheaper if you live in the states and want the sword?

I reaaaaaaaaaaaally like the way ALL of the Takara releases look (I am also like "daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn" except Galvatron, I'll stick with Hasbro and the darker color). I just can't justify paying $30 for a deluxe with all of the figures I want to get in the line

Cyberpath, I think you mixed up the pictures for the Hasbro and Takara versions of Titans Return Blaster. The Takara one has the darker grays and the dot on the tape deck window.

As long as we're nitpicking about British spellings, there's also the problem of gray versus grey.

Well, I WAS gonna say "Definately want the Hasbro version of Wierdwolf so I am not double dipping for a proper Apeface, and then Sabr posted THAT.
I THINK it's a wierd coincidence, that robot duppoedly being Brawl's brain and the TakTom Apeface having nothing to do with that. It's Passable, if you need a B.O.T. in your collection, I guess, but I am gonna go with "Happy Accident."
I must be the only one who doesn't like Wheelie's shade of Orange, so definately going stateside. (Who am I kidding, I usually do anyway) Still, I am curious to see what the other Titanmaster vehicles look like and who they get paired with>

Weapon:
Electro-burst Rifle
The Hasbro Weirdwolf is definitely the winner. Does Takara's even come with his rifle?
I am 100%, most definitely getting all of the animal Headmasters. Probably going to stick to original Headmasters for Autobots and Decepticons overall, at least when it comes to deluxes.
Takara's Blaster is a big improvement over Hasbro's, but probably not worth the money. I still want to see a rifle with Fort Max. Really confused on that one. If not, I am sure a 3P will make an accessory pack for him.
I don't care for Takara's Wheelie, too yellow. And Hasbro's Rewind matches the comic better, so I want him.
