While the look is more like the show, I feel this is kind of like Quillfire where Hasbro's is simply a different take on colours but not inferior. Especially in Scorpion mode where I preffer the Hasbro version
Hasbro on the left, takara on the right
Takara would have been far superior if it didnt ue taht dull grey plastic.

I prefer Hasbro's Scorpion mode but Takara's Robot mode.

So I got the new battlepack Strongarm Friday. When this figure was revealed I was quite happy because the Warrior class did not impress me and I really like the character design. But the deco on the Hasbro version was lackluster so I went Takara. This figure does not disappoint. The transformation is simple and pretty basic but it gets the job done. Both modes look great and are accentuated by the deco. The minicon is also neat and kinda adorable. The armor bits are also a nice extra but I don't find myself using them much.
My only problem with the figure is a lack of thigh swivels, but there's enough scpace with the ball joint that lets you get a little swivel. Recommended if you like the character and/or the design.

I'm not saying this ofthen of the TAV line, but for once, the Hasbro version have the superior deco. Mainly because Starscream is really "surging" and not just boring normal.

A thing to note about Sideswipe: the full name of the set is Windstrike Edge & Sideswipe Hayate Armor, 疾風 hayate indeed translates to "gale".
And why is he translucent? For that matter, why was Sideswipe chosen to have a second armor to begin with?

Takara finally noticed Sideswipe's hair and started singing this song to him:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:And why is he translucent? For that matter, why was Sideswipe chosen to have a second armor to begin with?

They probably didn't want to release it in the "Power Up" colors and thought the white version wouldn't sell

I don't like the green armor on Saiyanswipe. I think a more smokey-grey plastic would have worked much nicer.

So besides, of course, the poker chip insignia; what's the differences between TAV Black Shadow and Generations Sky Shadow?

A few paint apps. The difference is negligible.
I can't remember the specific details off the top of my head, but I remember doing a compare and contrast when he was announced.

Aah, so as long as I tear off the poker chip he's basically the same thing? Been thinking of getting him since not only does the mold look fun but the new head and colours make it look so damn cool.

Great mold, AMAZING head sculpt. Evil as all get out.
Go for which ever you can acquire cheaply and easily.

Yyyyyyyes and no?
The price on him fluctuates a lot, and I mean A LOT. He's 27 quid now but the next day he might be 30 or 21. Same goes for Slipstream, Nightbird and Rumble/Frenzy who I also have wishlisted.
