Edging closer and closer to Legends here.

It did. But some cases have used Takara's toys. Guess this is another tedious "wait and see" case.Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabrblade wrote: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?

So there is some darker gray on Takara's.Manterax Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It did. But some cases have used Takara's toys.

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.

I guess Hasbro's is Daytime Megatron while Takara's is Bedtime Megatron.
I really don't see how it's any better looking than the Hasbro version, considering that the differences are few and minute.Cyberpath wrote:Best looking official Megatron toy I've seen so far.

I didn't differentiate it from the Hasbro one.

The canon does look better here.
Bought!

Will you actualy be buying the legends one or the Hasbro one? I feel we'll be paying a lot here for just a few differences.

Nah, I mean the Megatron who wears pajamas and is taken to bed by children to sleep with.Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I guess Hasbro's is Daytime Megatron while Takara's is Bedtime Megatron.
Don't you mean, Megatron After Dark?

Just like Bedtime Bubba:

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.

Legends wj88. Extra bling on Tomy versions and given their penchant for comic/anime accuracy (at least as close to the iteration as possible)
Jetfire= box art (exception to the rule)
Fembot= mix comic and anime
RB and Whirl= G1 toy
And..........gives me time to save.

But are you sure he has extra bling? Because the Hasbro version seems to have just as much.
Also, did you get the takara tankor over the Hasbro one?
