Did Cyberpath post a Galvatron comparison chart? I assume I missed it way back, so if someone could post a link I'd greatly appreciate it.

Just for you. ;)

Looks like Takara is going with the preliminary shade of purple while Hasbro is going for the final shade, which I like better. Though I do wish Hasbro painted the head, especially the crest. I'm kind of surprised Hasbro didn't go with the toy colors, but I'm glad they didn't.

I just watched Emgo review our favorite unstable leader and find myself wishing Hasbro had spoken with him first because that face crest plate thing needed to extend to the arms to have any attempt at cohesion.

Also, I think the chest might get retooled to have an actual head for a platinum release a few years down the road. I can't imagine one of the companies not doing something for some anniversary. I don't think they would release it again with the Titan Master gimmick at that time. But I could be wrong.

ザ・ヘッドマスターズはTFが国内と海外で異なる展開を始め、マルチバース展開的な考えが本格的にスタートした記念的な作品で、色が違えば別人から、色も名前も同じだけど別人といった多次元的な考えをシリーズが呑み込んだ意味深いシリーズ、かな？

So does it mean in short form, one character with two different perspectives at presenting the character on both sides of the Pacific Ocean?

Anyway, the Cerebros head is just as cool as the JP version....I hope someone sells him separately in ebay sometime in the future (reason how I acquired both Encore Master Swords for my G1 Fortmax ( I love you ebay .......sometimes)

If you read those translations out loud, quickly and confidently, as if they were actual English sentences, instead of slowly and laboriously, trying to decipher some cogent meaning from the absent syntax, it makes it all the more hilarious to the ear.

I really need both of those chromedomes. That headmaster is just so beautiful compared to the hasbro version and I don't mind swapping the face out.

[MGrotusque]

Fortress maximus is such a terrible disappointment. The only thing I really want from this release is Cerebros. I know it's the only thing i care about. Too bad it's going to cost me 200 plus bucks to get even the Hasbro version. Forget aboot TT's version.

[Cyberpath]

[Evil Eye]

Blurr looks awesome. He really knocks the Hasbro version into a cocked hat.

[Bronzewolf]

Hello Seibertronians! Once again, TFYuki has shared some Takara Legends product shots via Twitter, this time of our favorite fast-talking fighter and Boombox 'Bot, LG25 Blurr and LG27 Blaster! What are your thoughts on the different Decos? How do they compare to their respective Hasbro versions - Blaster and Blurr?

Along with a link to their TakaraTomy Mall Pages, Yuki also shared this:

Translated by Bing:

Brusca say what summer favorite is good but also blur you handsome!　No, this man is so cool as well! > Transformers legends LG25 blur

And

Tomy(takaratomy) Mall, and still remains, the prototype image... the LG27 broadcast of the upcoming new base transformed into mode also spread play wide and twirling and head master and weapons available, sold separately, etc..!
Broca, Nice!

Take a look at the images below!









Have these additional shots swayed your opinion on either of these figures? Talk about it in the comments! And, as always, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com, for the best Transformers news anywhere on the net!

I like hasbro's blurr better. Takara has too many different shades of blue going on. They have a gray gun where hasbro's is painted

Takara's has exactly two shades of blue and Hasbro's gun is gray as well. If you like the Hasbro version better, all the power to you... but this doesn't really make sense.

Actually Hasbros gun is silver, the gray on Takaras is my one and only gripe about this figure. Not enough to stop me from getting it though.

[grimdragon2001]

ok, so it looks like the Takara Twincast titanmaster is actually blue. nice touch

[Delicon]

I really like both versions of Blurr because they finally do 1986 Blurr justice. The Blurr that came out a few years ago with the IDW head isn't a bad figure but it's a horrible G1 Blurr. The Cybertron Blurr at least got the head right.

This is a rare instance where I hope to end up with both the Hasbro and Takara versions of the same figure because one nails the original toy appearance and the other looks just like the Sunbow cartoon.

[ToaSunkist]

Considering I am making a modern cast collection of the 1986 movie, Japanese Blurr is a must. Kinda iffy on Blaster though.

[MGrotusque]

I reckon Blur is the best of the bunch and this Takara paint job is making it near impossible to resist buying one.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Since I am having to wait on these new figures anyway, I might as well buy the Takara Blurr.

[frogbat]

Usually don't care for takara's extra paint apps but this does make an excellent figure even better.

[KVO Prime]

Takara's Blurr is the ultimate definitive non-masterpiece version of that character.. Looks gorgeous. Just wish those dark blue parts in the shield and such were the same blue so they could be flush.

[Hellscream9999]

Legends Blurr is gorgeous, easily the Blurr we deserve (which of course means hasbro isn't going to paint theirs worth a d@mn)

[Bronzewolf]

He's the Blurr the fan base deserves, just not the one it's going to get right now.
