Arcee is his great aunt 
The Takara Jetfire looks sharp and won't be a crumbling mess in 20 years. I'd prefer no chrome and more paint apps I think

I know! I took one look at the Hasbro one at the store then went home and pre-ordered the Takara one. NOT going to deal with another BM Jetstorm fiasco. I can wait til December for it to arrive.

Slightly off topic, why do i have the weird feeling that if Cosmos is released in the Legends line, in might be cheaper than the aftermarket prices for the generations figure.

Is it just me or does Sky-Byte look more like an orca with that paint job?

25 to 30 on ebay, it was about 50 on amazon last time I looked.

The chrome can be removed from Hasbro Jetfire. There's red plastic underneath.Cobalt Prime wrote:welcometothedarksyde wrote:Arcee is his great aunt

I dropped both Chromia and Arcee in favour of these two. Arcee looks much better with the soft grey on black instead of the hard black/white contrast. I like Chromia's translucent blue plastic instead of Hasbro's clear plastic.
I don't really have much of an attachment to Windblade, so I don't feel the need to spend more money on her.

There's not many Takara paint jobs i think are worthy of the extra coin , but they nailed Arcee with this one .
That black neck piece on the hasbro version looks ugly .

That shot with Jetfire reminds me of that episode of BW where Rattrap and Una are rafting down the river on Depth Charges back. Almost legitimizes that digibash of Jetfire into Depth Charge that I saw.

My point is that it probably will be removed eventually, time will take care of that
On the plus side I do appreciate that they made it red plastic underneath. So if the chrome does fail it won't be white or grey underneath. That Legends Arcee looks great

Well, is there any concern that the chrome will disintegrate like gold plastic? With the red plastic underneath, that should alleviate any of those concerns, right?
I do like how looking at Takara Jetfire immediately made me nostalgic for the G1 Jetfire toy.

Chrome flaking and Gold Plastic Syndrome are two entirely different things.

Right. That's what I was asking. Were people afraid that the chrome was the entire mold, or just the flaking. Sorry if I wasn't clear in that.

Just the flaking. Don't get me wrong, structure-wise the plastic is fine, but the mere sight of chrome cracking and flaking... Besides, chrome has to be in a location that makes sense, not in random places like most of the Henkei line.

Even though I have Delicate Warrior, I'll buy the Takara Arcee. For this will be the REAL Arcee. That is, until a MP come out.
