>>6673650>Hasbro Hardhead is better all aroundI thought this until I actually got the Takara version in hand to compare. The plastic colors on Takara are so much richer and showcase sculpted detail better. The tan parts look way better than Hasbro's signature milky gray, especially the way they're used to break up the arms. I also prefer the Autobot badge being front and center instead of tiny and wedged on the shoulders. The silver paint on the edge of the treads adds a lot in alt. Mode, too. I do prefer Hasbro's headsculpt, which is why I bought the EX set, but the Takara one is still nice. The paint apps on the face are better and don't let the plastic bleed through like on the Hasbro version.
