Comparison Images - Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure TAV38 Thunderhoof, TAV39 Quillfire

The Thunderhoof is SO had to choose. Obviously, Takara has a nicer deco. But I dont know if its worth me importing instead of waiting for a discount at TRU or Walmart. For the simple reason that the molding on the chest is all wrong. I dont know I if I am making sense, but what is the use of getting screen accuate deco is the mold isnt screen accurate in the first place?

I dont know, I like the Hasbro version. I preffer the silver highlights instead of the gold.

That third color to break up his color layout really makes the character pop, without the need for a ton of paint apps; too bad they're no doing that on the rest of their warrior figures, as they could really use it (thunderhoof)

That's an astute observation there! 100% agree!

Although, Hasbro actually uses 4 plastic colours, one more than Takara.

Only two more weeks until Thunderhoof and Quillfire are released.

You're right, I hadn't noticed, maybe that's why I like hasbro's enough; but hasbro's thunderhoof is really hurting for some paint apps, shame, he was so cool too, oh well

I think each has their own strong points. I prefer more plastic colors than paint and overall I like the Hasbro version better because of the grey used ont he legs, arms and hands. So basically its a win win no matter which you get.

Courtesy of fellow Transformers fan and Twitter user tagoal, we have a look at the Cybertron Satellite Black Knight Bumblebee from the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, which reuses the same Bumblebee mold as the regular version of the toy, but with the inevitable black additions. Check it out below, in the company of several members of the latest Swarm!

I recommend Hobbylink Japan

I love this mold, and the original Black Bee. But even I'm shocked how good this looks

Meh........nothin special.
