Hey guys...I was wondering if anyone has (or could provide a link to) side-by-side pics of both the Takara C-05 and Hasbro versions of Rodimus...I have been searching for a coloring comparison and can't seem to find one...
I have the Takara C-05, mainly because the Henkei's have shown a consistant improvement of QC over the Hasbro versions...and now I am thinking about getting his trailer upgrade from Fansproject and have a problem...the "standard" one does not really match (due to the golden spoiler compared to the standard orange one of the Hasbro version)...and the "crystal" version of the trailer is just plain fugly.
Now, the spoiler is the only major difference I have noticed, and I am not above re-painting it to match his classic orange color if it will match the FP trailer upgrade armor...but I do not know if the rest of the paint job on the Takara figure is comparable (I have seen photos where they are relatively close, and other photos where the Takara version appears much much more "reddish").
Just hoping one of you guys can shed some light on my dilemma...thanks ahead of time and Happy Transforming!

FP's Sidearm comes with golden spoiler parts for Henkei Rodimus. I don't know how hard it is to find anymore, but it's worth the buy if you're getting the trailer.

The QC being better on TakaraTomy items is just a bunch of bull, as they use the same facilities as Hasbro. If anything they just have nicer paint and deco, but bum figures still exist.
Anyway, the major difference between Classics and Henkei Rodimus lays in the shade of the plastic colors, the chrome on the spoiler and headlights, and the flame deco on his chest. Overall Henkei is more accurate to the original G1 toy. Here are some image from the galleries (why doesn't anybody use them?

Djrasmo, there are a few more versions of that particular mold you may wish to consider before committing.
From left to right:
Challenge at Cybertron Rodimus (Asian exclusive), Henkei c-05 Rodimus, Henkei Sons of Cybertron Crystal Rodimus, Hasbro Classics Rodimus, BOTCON SG Rodimus
There's also an American version very similar to the Challenge at Cybertron one except it has a rub sign rather than an autobot sumbol on the hood/chest. Coloration otherwise is the same.

Actually, it just looks like a solid peg for PCC Backwind to attach to, who was repainted into Targetmaster Micron Caliburst.
