The difference seems to be mainly in Tailgate using a darker tael and removal of flames, while Swerve hardly looks the same aside from Phaser.

Edging closer and closer to Legends here.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)

Takara's swerve is a darker shade of red, and it has a black "square" on the hood to mimic the G1 toy as well. Also, there is more white paint on his shins. Hasbro's version uses a much brighter shade of red, lacks the black hood detailing, and has much less white paint on the shins.

Not bigger, backwards, and it looks so much better for it. There was some speculation in the CW thread that this could be done and it looks like it can be.

It's also a good look at how his shoulders are outward articulated. Not nearly as stiff looking as the Hasbro photos.

Ha! The arm canon does rotate. I knew it.


But is it just me or is that an alternat head sculpt on the takara version? Long thin face, based on the G1 toy head. Hasbros looks thicker and more triangular with some dashes of IDW homage and wider jaw.

Frankly, I can't see any differences between the Hasbro and Takara versions of Megatron, unless Takara's Megatron has darker silver.

Agreed. Could it be a case of Takara using photos of the Hasbro version for early solicitations, though? Didn't that happen a little while ago with some other Legends reveals?

It did. But some cases have used Takara's toys. Guess this is another tedious "wait and see" case.

Not so fast, Sabrblade. There is a difference in color, but very insignificant given how it's gone unnoticed by almost everyone. The plastic strut on tje front of Leader Megs' leg is light grey on Hasbro's release where as in these pics fron Takara, they are dark grey.

So there is some darker gray on Takara's.

I guess Hasbro's is Daytime Megatron while Takara's is Bedtime Megatron. :P

Yes, but it seems to only be those parts on the front of his legs that were changed and all the other grey plastic, such as the bit on his knees and the tread wheels, is the same light grey used on Hasbro's. Like I said, very insignificant color difference.

I really don't see how it's any better looking than the Hasbro version, considering that the differences are few and minute.

Yeah, I guessed you were just talking about the mold itself.

And Sabreblade, as you can see from a few posts above (or the page before) I couldnt tell the difference either. It's like when I was looking for a difference between the roadbusters. Actually, this one is even more minute. Part of me would have preffered a greater difference. Like Hasbro being in matte grey (like we first saw), homaging the show, and Takara being in silver, homaging the toy.

Not sure about Legends Swerve & Tailgate, but I'm all in on Megatron. Both versions.

Remember how Takara Brainstorm didn't look any different than Hasbro's in initial promo pics? I expect we'll see some more differences as actual in-hand versions of both Megatrons inch closer to their release dates.

s'what i was thinkin ;)

my entire view of leader megs (in relation to MP's) hasnt skewed my opinion of the figure itself. i actually like it a lot, and think its a phenomenal take on the character. i indefinitely plan yo buy him, whichever version looks best. and that says a lot since i dont plan to use him as a replacement for my united megatron in my C/G display.

But are you sure he has extra bling? Because the Hasbro version seems to have just as much.

It's either or with Tomy wj88 with regards to Megatron, I'm expecting this to have the G1 toy color theme...........shinier.

As for Tankor, I need some convincing to get the figure now that you mentioned him. Based on your posts, he looks great. Easy buy (cheaper than RB and Whirl)but TF universe wise, this is BW and, not too much into him.
Mind you, I've got much uglier figs like Straxus, henkei Galvatron and Octane.
