>>5912783Hi, I'm the OP that posted
>>5911392 and I was in the same position.
The takara one has better legs, the legs are glittery as fuck but apart from a slight blemish on the face in pic related (the other side has a slight miss in paint but you'd only notice if you stare right at it) its quite solid, the takara is much the same just different paint.
If a bigger overall aesthetic is important to you, get the takara one, I ONLY got the hasbro one because we're having a sale here (from $89.99aud to 59.99aud) and the fact the design is clearly intended for hasbro's toy aesthetic (the helmet homages the g1 toy/marvel comics) helped cement that in, its still the same toy.
One thing else I noticed with the takara head, if you look at it it seems the whole lower face is white, the black on mine's head would be white too, and if you love the legs but hate the head its easy enough to drown it in silver paint.
As for soundwave's simerlar argument there, infact a flaw emgo mentioned (yea yea he's shit meh) is the gold paint on the chest panel rubs off on the hasbro version, the takara version adds MORE paint around the sides...I honestly think the takara one is the better figure but if cost is a factor the hasbro one wins
