I'll stick with the Hasbro version that actually looks like the character the toy is supposed to be.

I'm confused. Looks pretty accurate to me:

Or are you saying the Hasbro version:

...better matches this:

In which case, yes.

I just noticed he has his Headmaster stats inside the cockpit. Totally awesome.

Also, darn it, now I need G1 Brainstorm. :HEADHURTS:

He looks a lot better than the Hasbro version, but i still don't like it.

It's too simplistic, a class too big and i really hate those wings.

I also think they could have done a better job with the headmaster gimmick.

The latter.

I never noticed that the cockpit seat folds down to reveal his stats, Thats a pretty nice touch. I'm not really bothered by the colours on either but the takara look a bit nicer to me. The Hasbro will be cheaper though so I'm going with that one.

Yes, because a figure representing her weird relationship with Dan Witwicky totally wouldn't be creepy.

Eh, why not? She will be able to go around giving heads.

Thank you, thank you! Don't forget to tip your waiter.

Yeah... It actually does sound really absurd and quite creepy, now that I think about it. A spandex-clad 12-year-old wears a suit of robot armor and is psychically linked to his two-story-tall alien robot mom? :-?

Fellow Seibertron.com user Powered Convoy has spotted some new stock images on the Takara Tomy website, and they feature the Legends figures (Generations counterparts) of LG08 Tailgate and Swerve with Targetmasters, and LG09 Brainstorm! Check them out below.

Hasbro wins this round in terms of fiction-accuracy.

True, but what sets this apart is the replacement of Flanker aka Sky High with Phaser.

daww, that headmaster's adorable; looks like he wants to be somebody's friend.

Loving that deco on Brainstorm. I'm just getting into MTMTE, which is my first introduction to him in fiction, but the G1-style toy deco really wins out for me. And being in New Zealand means I'd have to import the Hasbro one anyway, so paying a little extra isn't a big deal for me.

I definitely prefer the Hasbro Tailgate, though.

Also I think that when the headmaster's plugged in, it pushes down a little panel in the cockpit that shows the headmaster techspecs readout sticker; which to be fair is a little simplistic compared to the tumbler system in the G1 toys. But hey, IDW brainstorm, that alone makes it worthwile for me
