Inside the magazine is a two-page spread of Animated Ironhide (aka Bulkhead) and Bumblebee.

Shiny paint is cool, but that green is rubbish.

Bumblebutt = 5x Better with SHINY. Ironhide/Bulkhead/Gang-green = 5xFAIL.

I really digg the figures... but the $ is not worth it. I gotta swing with Hasbro this time around.

It's shiny metallic paint, not chrome.

I know that, I just meant that I hoped there wouldn't be the "chrome" debates that get raised from time to time due to certain Takara decisions.

I totally understand the sparkley approach. Serious Transfans here in Japan have been buying the Hasbro import figures at massive expense since they came out in America. If Takara released the exact same figures years later for cheaper, their sales would probably be hit too hard.
Mercenary though it sounds, Takara need an incentive for this to get people to buy the same figure twice.
If they produce a better version of Swindle though, I'll buy it so fast my credit card will have friction burns on it.
