Well, I originally wasn't going to get the Hasbro Computron, but after seeing the mold differences, Scrounge (whom I've always liked as a character), and the hands and feet, I thought "Screw it, I'm double-dipping. Well played, Hasbro." If nothing else, Computron was my favorite G1 combiner growing up, so by double dipping, at least I get the joy of opening his box twice, lol.

In this case, I don't know if I'll write off the entirety of Hasbro's Computron as being garbage, but I will say more could have been done on that front anyway. If anything, Hasbro probably "wins" by virtue of the fact that they have a much wider regional reach than Takara.
