Okay, so, I was never too interested in Hot Shot to bother looking into getting him....so what exactly differs between Universe and Henkei Hot Shot structurally?

If it's the Henkei version, I will go from "meh" to "pee my pants with joy". The deco, especially in vehicle mode with those sweet tampographs, has really grown on me. And he will actually really nice standing next to WoH Kup.

If they do get the Henkei model, it will be instantly better. If the guns are included even more so.

I really don't know why there's hope for the Henkei version version to be used. Has TFCC ever gone into Takara's jurisdiction and used one of their molds? Regardless of whether it's Uni/Henkei HotShot, Dion is still going to be that color scheme. I don't think guns and missiles make or break a figure.

No, but the shoulder changes do.

In this instance, the Henkei mold is actually genuinely better.

It has a cut-out section which allows for the guns to be exposed in vehicle mode. These cut-out portions are not only fuctional for the alt mode, but they provide just enough clearance to make the shoulders fuction much, much better.

And I would like to add that I think the paint scheme is badass.

My understanding is that Hasbro and Takara were using the same mold, then Hasbro changed it when the guns didn't fit the budget.

Nah, you got like 4 polite corrections in a row.

Transformers fans with manners, it's more likely than you'd think.

Seibertronians are generally a well mannered species. Just don't provoke them with cancellations of highly anticipated figures.

Scandalous Seibertrononians: Caught in the Act!

If you enjoy the action of "When Animals Attack" or the fun of "Girls Gone Wild" then brace yourself for the DVD you can't miss this holiday season!

You've never seen anything quite like this! We've taken our cameras, from Conventions to Toy Shops, Swap Meets to Megamarts, to capture Nerdrage like you wouldn't believe.

Shock! As adults grab toys away from the grasping hands of children!
Witness! Epic arguments of which continuity is best, who got better paint aps, and what Hasbro and Takara did wrong this time.
Sulk! As uber-collectors tell you why you will never have the toy they wave in your face.

And the party doesn't even get started until we ask people if RIRFIB, and watch the reactions judged too hot for television. (note: certain clips may have previously been shown on SPIKE TV)

Hours of Ownage. Dozens of Facepalms. Grand displays of Geekdom. All this and more can be yours for 3 easy payments of just $29.95 (plus shipping and handling) Come on, we seen how much you pay for toys, you can afford this!

Order now and get an amazing limited edition Mini-con (note: Mini-con may be the same as store releases)

They put that kickass Autobot symbol on the door, but then ruin it by being too lazy to paint the hinge...

1) it's still a mock-up.
2) The hinge may be unpaintable.

Did you hear that OTFCC?

Botcon 2011 put in in Cabo San Lucos or South Beach Florida. Make it happen so Mkall can have his wish made true.

ugh, hate the colors and tired of hot shot repaints. i won't be renewing this year. i wish they'd do something special, like dinobots, not these bottom of the barrel characters. the seacons were interesting at least.
