It looks like someone's got new guns as well if you look at the guns attached to his thighs. Assuming Computron gets a proper face/head, kudos to Takara!
Don't forget to check out Betatron and Scattershot's galleries also! Because I know how much everyone wanted to see Betatron!!!

I think someone did mention that those look like big Groove's guns on his legs.

My only comment on this at this junction is simply, what's up with that lone wheel on afterburner in arm mode!

*just a guess* if you look at pics of UW Groove...though he is a leg for Defensor in most pics, if you choose to use him as an Arm, I think it will make more sense.

I've been thinking about it and I'll probably get both, keep the limbs I like and sell off the others.

Unfortunately I probably won't make much money back. Strafe and Nosecone will probably be different enough for my brain to convince me to keep both versions

True...now that I think about it, I'll probably just display the best limbs as the gestalt and the best 'bots as the team.

The rear wheel splits into two and rests on the forearm.

That, and the front of the cycle is mistransformed - of course

I really need to see the complete image of this. I definitely prefer the Wheeljack design as Lightspeed, but I have doubts that Blast-Off will make a better Strafe than what Hasbro is using. The same goes for Rook-as-Nosecone if that turns out to be true. Also, we have to give up the new appendages and Scrounge.

Yup, probably your one and only chance to get Scrounge

I thought it was just Takara trying to get the G1 look with the wheel up on the side:

It think Will is right. mistransformations to allow for that sort of thing would definitely be Takara's thing

Just answering the guys question, as it does indeed look weird that way - a little too 'out in the middle of no where', it's almost in space

Yes but I wouldnt call it mistransformed. Its what Takara has chosen as their official transformation.

Well, I didn't put 2 & 2 together, just haven't seen much of comps to know that

Hence the choice/option to secure the Hb version of Computron. No biggie. Computicon might(?) have a new head (maybe a 90% probability given that TT actually designed new molds for Groove and Blastoff), a new weapon (?) etc. Not sure if the new fists and feet in Hb will be incorporated into this.

So the way I see it, both Computrons have something unique to offer:
Hasbro
-------
Scattershot w/ proper color scheme
Scronge as a bonus figure
American release of the Groove mold
Dedicated hands and feet
Takara
-------
New Computron head
New combiner gun
Different molds for Lightspeed, Nosecone, and Strafe
The way I see it, I'll go with Hasbro on this one. I can live with Computron's head not being retooled if it means he gets ankle tilts.
(Unless you buy both and you mix and match)

Yeah, I'm probably going to be getting both versions. I don't even plan to sell off any of them either.
I think I might try to use Takara Lightspeed as Sideswipe assuming it is made from Wheeljack/Breakdown. That might mean a "less accurate" looking Lightspeed using Hasbro's version though. However I'd rather a Sideswipe that looks similar to Sunstreaker and my soon to be Tigertrack than I want a slightly better looking Lightspeed.
I might go with Hasbro's Strafe as I really like the look of it so far and I like the Scrounge integration.
I might go with Takara's Nosecone as even just from that silhouette, it looks amazing.
Unless there's something that we're not seeing, there isn't (and probably won't) be much of a difference between the Afterburners. So I'll have to wait to see more of each to decide.
Again, unless there's something more than just the head and weapon that we're not seeing, I'll have to see more of these two new Scattershots to make a decision on which to use. I know for sure that the current single retail Scattershot will NOT be my Computron Scattershot. That doesn't mean that I don't still want it to complete Betatron though as I'll obviously have extra limbs around.
For Takara Strafe and Hasbro Nosecone I might use them and a repainted Smokescreen (or the second Lightspeed if I don't use it as Sideswipe) as the Powerdashers. Because they need some love too.
If there's nothing I can do with the second Afterburner or the third Scattershot then I'll probably just keep them in the boxes as I would hate breaking up either set and the slight monetary return in selling them wouldn't really be worth it in the long run. I'm sure I can find something to do with at least Afterburner by digging up some Transformer who needs either an update or a figure in general.
