Picked him up @TFCON.
Notable Differences (Hasbro vs. Takara)
I don't own the Takara version - just based on numerous video reviews I've watched- Missing paint apps on Hasbro forearms
- Chest flame app missing black outline on Hasbro
- Red and grey lower legs on Hasbro
- Tail lights lack grey paint app on Hasbro
- Spoiler lacks orange centre piece on Hasbro
- Lack of chrome on engine and wheels on Hasbro
- Lack of clear plastic on Hasbro pelvis piece
- Glass is darker on Hasbro
- More paint apps on Hasbro accessories
Gripes With Hasbro Version- Offshoot is pretty crooked in gun mode
- Rodimus can barely hold Offshoot in gun mode
- Arms in alt mode don't fit snuggly when tabbed in and exhaust pipes are aligned
Looks like the problematic shin piece has been changed. No problems thus far.
His chest clips together more tightly and has not come loose from moving his arms.
His visor will stay hidden easily as well.
Hasbro version has a different elbow joint which uses a strange plastic piece that can be separated from the upper arm.
