Re: Which PowerMaster do you like better?

Sure, Tak is more G1-accurate, but if I really wanted G1, I could buy G1. Also, sunken chest and strange feet.

The biggest thing for me, though, is that Tak's would look awkward in vehicle mode next to either version of Ultra Magnus.

Re: Which PowerMaster do you like better?

Power Master Prime was my first Prime (besides a white Ultra Magnus) so I'm liking what Takara is offering.

Same here, Powermaster Prime was 1st Prime too. As weird as the feet are, I much prefer the better paint job over Hasbro's version. Plus, Hasbro's dull grey plastic and hollow forearms just kill it for me. I'm confident Takara will eventually give it a proper Apex Armor supplement to fill out the chest and add more girth to the feet, so in the meantime, I'm willing to overlook those criticisms against it.

The strange feet resemble the g1 version.

I do like the Hasbrouck cab. That's why I'm getting both

I think that the sunken cab is the only thing off with Tak's.

Although the feet don't resemble feet they are closed to the original toy and show.

The diff points for takara are

1. Forearms are different and not hollow
2. Hands rotate
3. Forearm flaps are smaller and better hidden
4. Color and paint apps closers to toy and show.
5. A better grey . Hasbro's is more taupe
6. Paint lines and symbol on trailer are smaller
7. Cab closer to show and toy
8. Taller
9. Better paint apps
10. Different or correct feet



Now I do like Hasbro's to ( especially the cab in both modes) . That's why I picked both and bought.

Re: Which PowerMaster do you like better?

What is the poll asking? Which one we like or which one we bought/are buying?

Getting both since they are completely different characters in the G1 cartoon continuity.

It doesn't matter to much like or buy. If you want to leave an explanation why or which that's fine
