Hey Nemy D. I do not have TAV-21. I was very interested in him, but I'm always hesitant to get to many OP toys. I really dug his compatability with the warrior class figures. I missed out on all the discounted pre-orders from Japanese e-tailers. So I figured I'd figure it out later after knocking out some other priorities.
Then Takara showed TAV-33, and that's all I needed to see. An awesome deco to differentiate him from other Primes. All that chrome is super slick. He comes with all the weapons plus that giant chromed sword. And then the minicon integration. That set the hook in this fish's mouth.
Also an important difference is 33 doesn't have the quick draw gimmick that 21 has.
I don't know if one is better than the other, but 33 was the one for me.
It's worth mentioning that for the first time all year I found there was no real advantage in terms of price with ordering this fig direct from Japan. After shipping, he ended up being the same price as BBTS, so I just went that route.
