I say United wins Jazz and Optimus by miles. Thunderwing to, but only just. Straxus is a draw. Didn't he have both colour schemes in the comics?

The Optimus gallery has confirmed what I suspected: my figure has a shabby paint job.

The front grill isn't completely covered, and it's not paint chipping as it came out of its package like that. Oh well. When I get back to Italy I'll repaint it.



Nice work as always, Ryan! :APPLAUSE:

The Generations deco is a mixture of all the colors he's appeared in. The United deco is more specific, namely his second appearance in the Marvel comics, "The Bridge to Nowhere"

Wow, I'm not sure which impress me more, the toys or the quality of the photos/ the background composition! Even with my Canon T3i DSLR, I can't even shoot like that :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN: Somebody gotta tell me the trick, hehe

Excellent pictures as always!

I wasn't too keen on Hasbro Straxus, or even the Straxus mold, but I had no idea United Straxus looked so good! I might just be tempted to get him after all.

I still have UN Jazz and UN Optimus MOSC. I actually also have Hasbro Jazz (and Hasbro Tracks) MOSC, but mosty because I can't bring myself to open them considering how bad they are compared to their UN counterparts, and I want to sell them somewhere down the line.

For Jazz and OP I like the Takara versions better. Jazz benefits from the silver paint, and OP looks better with clear windshield, darker gray body and blue sword.

But I prefer Hasbro's blue and gray Straxus to the blue and blue United version.

For Thunderwing I'm 50/50. I like Hasbro's purple better than Takara's lavender, but I like the torso colors better on the Takara version.

I'm so glad I got UN Jazz. Laser Prime looks better too but I don't care about the figure enough to care that much. IMO the Hasbro versions of the others look best. Excellent galleries as usual!
