Again, that wasn't their intention. They made this toy to resemble the IDW comic Hoist.

Maybe it wasnt their intention, but they nailed it to the G1 cartoon shade of green and I love it. :D Ill take care of the head myself.

And IDW style or not, it appears Takara was shooting for a shade of green that resembles the G1 toy, rather than the comic/cartoon color. Or do IDW comics get sold in Japan ?

They do not.

Which is ironic since the Takara Deluxe Megatron toy looks way more comic-accurate than the Hasbro version (minus Takara swapping out the Hasbro toy's translucent purple plastic for translucent red plastic).

Hope you like Hasbro Trailcutter better too since the Takara one comes with the Takara Hoist.


Yeah good point. I don't see too much difference in Hasbro vs Takara Trailcutter. I think the Hasbro versions come with a IDW comic book too.

Indeed.

But, since I've done it with Bee and Hoist, let's see how Trailcutter compares. ;)
