>>6412547>Hasbro Hardhead has proper grey and Takara's has that fucking hideous brownI disagree. Hasbro's gray is still "muddy". You seem to just have an issue with the color itself and not the quality of the color. The brown on Takara's version catches light and shows its sculpted detail better than the Hasbro gray, in my opinion. That goes double for the green they used, SO much better on the Takara version. Even though there are fewer color variations and apps on the figure as a whole, the plastic colors manage to showcase the sculpted details so much more. I find this is true for every Takara bot I bought, besides Chromedome. His Takara color scheme is just too bland in both modes, although I still think his plastic quality is much higher. I ended up just popping his wheels off and swapping his red plastic bits because I felt they both looked better.
But whatevs. Agree to disagree. I own both, and while I like both decos for different reasons, I prefer Takara's. Also, the silver details along the edges of the tank treads make the alt. mode look miles better.
