The differences are negligible. Basically, it's all in the eyes. They're light piped, TT's are clear, and Hasbro's are blue (which look black without light). QC might be SLIGHTLY better on TT's, but my advice is grab whatever's cheapest.Carnivius_Prime wrote:Is Takara's MPM Bee different to Hasbro? Did they do it in the nice orange-yellow colour of other Bee toys?

is that a sound chip in that G2 Starscream?
Totally. Even side by side, the Bee's are hard to tell apart. The Primes are have enough differences to distinguish them at least.Carnivius_Prime wrote:Ah ok. I kinda detest lightpiped eyes (and often unscrew the heads of my figures to paint that transparent plastic the appropiate colours for the eyes and back of the head... which I later scrub off carefully if I sell the figure) but way things are going with my current financial situation they'll all likely be sold out and going for silly prices by time things get sorted. Thanks for the info. Sounds much less different that the MPM Prime then?
It does, and still works on mine!Carnivius_Prime wrote:Light and sound. Think it does a gun and jet noise from what I recall.Stuartmaximus wrote:is that a sound chip in that G2 Starscream?

Sorry Will, mine are basically the same. *shrug*william-james88 wrote:Thats very different than from what I remember people saying at first.

Got a few Transformers including RID stuff I really don't think much of, and ANOTHER CW Rodimus (my 2nd one I currently have and 3rd one I've owned in total). Why can't I ever find the true version of this mold in which I mean Blackjack who looks cooler and this toy does not work for me as Hot Rod/Rodimus at all especially since better toys exist for him (like Titans and MP of which I own both). Found me some Mega Bloks figures for my other collection too which I kinda crossover with Transformers cos I think the lil human mini-figures look great for that scale purpose. I have no interest in Iron Man but can customise into other things if I want. Oh and there's a Kreo Optimus mini figure I got just cos it was in the Mega Bloks tray and has his gun.

BlackJack's been kicking about for a while now, you probably haven't been looking in the right places... mostly he can be found in The Original Factory Shop, I dunno about now...but I think he was once in Hamleys, dunno if B&M Stores still have him in too, if you had a store called XS Stock...he'd probably definitely be still there

Nope, he's got Trailer, Spike, Roller, Axe, Matrix. He's complete (Toys R Us actually let me open the box and slide him out in store to make sure everything was there since the box was damaged.), everything was even still strapped to the bubble.
