The first TT release of IDW Bumblebee already has a Goldbug-colored head? Color me surprised.
Easier selling. Note that the Bumblebee is the only single

Yeah, especially given the Goldbug remold coming out later.

That's the one I'll be spending money on. Goldbug never looked so good

hmmmm... wondering if the Orion Pax and Megatron two pack is different enough to keep my preorder. Megatron is looking more gray then shinny.

Takara nailed Trailbreaker and Hoist. Spot on!
Could care less about the other two-packs. I'm indifferent whether I get the Legends anyway, and I prefer Orion Pax and Megatron's Hasbro releases since they're within my budget.

TFSource's listing for TG-25 is slightly mislabeled. It should say "Orion Pax & Megatronus". 
As for Megs look more gray here, it's due to the lighting.
Both are shinier and feature more comic-accurate paint apps... BUT, the Megatron(us) toy has had all of its comic-accurate translucent purple plastic swapped out and replaced with non-accurate translucent red plastic. Orion Pax also has a blue windshield instead of clear.mooncake623 wrote:hmmmm... wondering if the Orion Pax and Megatron two pack is different enough to keep my preorder.

Chara-Net has posted clearer official images of Takara Tomy's upcoming Transformers Generations TG-26 Bumblebee and TG-17 Hoist and Trailcutter. We've mirrored the images below. Although TG-26 comes with a blue head, it is not the remolded version that was revealed at BotCon for Hasbro's upcoming Generations Goldfire.

Is there a real difference ? Can somebody post pics of both Takara and Hasbro Hoist side by side ?

Here's a good question for you sticklers to fiction: what are the chances of Goldfire becoming a character separate from Bumblebee, since we're dealing with IDW?

So where is the preorder for Hasbro Hoist?
Why are we getting preorders and pics for the Takara one first, even if it won't be released until later????

I'm starting to think this BB might be my favorite BB of all time.* Based on what I've seen so far, I like it better than movie-verse BB, Animated BB, Prime BB, WFC BB, Generations Legend BB and even Classics BB.
* I can't really compare it to G1 BB; it's not really fair to either one.

I'm really liking the Takara version of Bumblebee. Although I wish they used a different head sculpt to pull off that Goldbug vibe, he looks weird without the faceplate and visor.
I actually like that idea, seeing how we had Galvatron being a seperate character from Megatron.

Only one I don't like here is Goldbug. Not Goldbug-y enough. 
But the rest of them... damn, wish I had these suckers. I'd love to get my mitts on Hoist and Trailbreaker especially, but with a Deluxe at almost $40, I just can't bring myself to do that to my wallet.

Woah, OK. I'm going to say Takara's Hoist is a definite improvement with it's more vibrant colours. Trailcutter as well, although sinner that I am, I prefer Hasbro's blue visor.
Goldbee is a definite pass. I'm only interested in that mold as Bumblebee, minus all the gold. But Hasbro's version really is quite pale, cheap looking. I may end up skipping this mold entirely. No big loss.

Thanks. But it was actually comparison shots of the 2 Hoists that I wanted to see.

I usually prefer Takara's paint jobs but not this time for Hoist. The Yellow and green seem more G1 accurate on Hasbro. Also Hasbro's has the yellow visor.
