Arcee's and Windblade's new decos make each of them a MUST HAVE!
Chromia I'm not so sure about since her show-accurate deco makes her comic-accurate body less accurate to the source material.

The colours make a WORLD of difference on Arcee. Chromia is a definite maybe. I want her more for toon representation than anything else.
Is it just the angle or do they all have smiles painted on them?

lol Huh you're right looks like they are all smiling... I wonder if this will be on the toys themselves. I'm sure these images were all photoshopped.

Arcee and Chromia are a must have. I dont read comics so I dont need a comic accurate windblade. At a quick glance the only differences I see are the face and the white nosecone.

Something about Windblade's face just seems unsettling.

What, here? Or just in general? I can hardly make out the details here; I can just tell she's smiling too. I think.

HLJ has pre-orders up. About $21 each.

I don't exactly know why, but I agree. Maybe it's because she feels like Thrust's sister...

Thank you! It's not just me then. There's something about the eyes. It looks like her eyes are missing and all we're left with are the shadowy sockets. Add that to the smile and it puts me in mind of this...
At least Takara have made sure none of these fembots are wearing the same shade of lipstick.
I'm really torn as to whether to go for Hasbro's IDW comic accurate Chromia or Takara's G1 animation accurate colours. The all black wheels and painted canopy of Takara's annoys me, but Hasbro's face looks a little vacant and void of life.

Arcee sez: "Make way for my child-birthin' HIPS!"

Damnit Sodan-1, there goes my sleep for the next few days...
The colourschemes are great, specifically Windblade. I understand why Hasbro didnt go with her comic scheme, since it was resembles a bit of Starscream.

I think I like the takara Windblade? it's better-ish? Takara Arcee looks to dull, and no, I don't care that it's cartoon accurate. Takara Chromia makes for a better Prid Arcee than IDW chromia

... why are we getting the more IDW accurate Windblade from *TAKARA*? Do they even HAVE the IDW comics there? T.T It's like they're mocking us D:

Yes they have the comics in Japan.

okay, makes more sense now, but still, their windblade is so much more comic accurate it almost looks like a different figure! Also I like that it doesn't lose almost all the red in alt mode like the US version does

Takara knocked it out of the park. Especially on Windblade. Dear god the extra red makes all the difference.
I'll definitely be going with Takara for any of these.
Also glad to see them smiling and actually competently posed. They look so cute!

Yeah, Windblade may have to be my first import 'mainline' since ..uh.. ages ago.
