I'm Tryin' to figure out my Trion

[Omegatron]

Forgive the horrible title but I have a very simple question: which Alpha Trion do people think is the better one?

I've been collecting a loooong time and I have a lot of figures. I try to maintain one set of shelves which have what I think are the best available likenesses of each of the characters. When a new toy comes out that I think is a better likeness I tend to buy it and replace the previous one, which then goes into a secondary display with other nice, but not quite as nice figures.

The problem I have is that while its usually obvious, or I have a clear favorite, even if maybe others don't agree, this time I genuinely can't decide. The AFT Titanium Saint (on the right), has been my Alpha Trion for years, nothing has come close, till now. The new Legacy Trion is a nice figure, its bigger and has a good presence. Aft is still good though, smaller but maybe more detailed? I just don't know.

So honestly guys, which do you like better? I know this is kind of an irreverent post, but if you have some time to give me a preference I'd appreciate it.

Tough call.. wonder what legacy trion looks like without all the back kibble.

So, on the one hand (the right) you have a great third party figure with a unique alt mode and a unique weapon staff thing.
And on the other hand (the left) you have a massively overpriced repaint of Scourge with a new head.
In my opinion, keep the 3rd party figure, and don't even bother trying to find the Legacy one.

If you have both, I find comparing the figure against its intended display sometimes helps you decided which one gels better with the collection.

Since you are asking for opinions, I'd say that the 3P looks better, and if I had both, then i would keep the 3P in my main display. But the Hasbro version has a colour scheme that more closely matches the G1 animation, if colour is more important to you.

FWIW the Hasbro repaint is also circulating in stores/hobby shops/wherever right now.

From what I've skimmed, this AFT Titanium Saint was around way back in 2014 (peaugh's review is from that year) and it is/was $114.99 USD from TF Source.

Depends on whether you actually need him to transform. This was always my AT until I got out of that scale and he was the perfect representation of the character.

Just purely from a visual standpoint, the one on the right.
Can’t unsee that blank void between the thigh and crotch on the hasbro one

The non hasbro one looks better

The new one is still too close to Scourge, the other one is a dated 3rd party toy. Needs a proper MP-ish 3rd party update.
