Whoops, never mind...it's "Swarp", in other words Swoop.

[Mach]

LOL, what the heck....

Change to Swoop then :p

Nice figures. Is there animated Blurr? o

[Rockdown]

This is great news for anyone who wants animated arcee, between japan and toyz r us, anybody who wants her should be able to easily get a hold of her.

[Trikeboy]

That's it, I will be selling my Hasbro versions and getting these. Why is TakaraTomy stuff always better than Hasbro's (the exception being Masterpiece Starscream)?

[Hard Hacker]

Metalic paint? Cool. But by all means, not show accurate. Animated's colours are matt, not gloss. Hasbro wins!

I'd like to pick up one of these. Just one, mind. I don't think a metalic paint job is automatically going to make the Takara versions superior (As... 99% of you believe). If there were some interesting exclusives though, I might pick up one of those. If I'm interested in it, of course.


Oh! A sidenote. I wonder how many weeaboos are going to insist "Hasbro" ruined "Takara's" "anime"?

[Blurrz]

I'm really digging Blitzwing's paintjob here. The others... not all too much - however I'm waiting on Takara's Arcee. She might have a better paintjob.
