Really?? Hasbro wins for you?? nothing about the Hasbro version looks better :/ The only thing I could say thats better is my Hasbro version can actually hold his guns lol and a few other QC issues but that it cant hold a candle cosmetic wise.

To each is own I guess, but I'm also digging the hasbro's version better (aesthetics-wise), I can't stand the black lower legs of the Takara
Although I wish the hasbro one had the fore-arm paint apps of the takara....so if they were both the same price and there was a buy 1 get 1/2 the 2nd one sale at TRU I would've gotten both versions, otherwise its hasbro all the way for me from now on..... ;D
besides with all that money saved going hasbro you can paint your MP any which way you want

the hasbro version looks ok, although i would prefer that the dark grey the gave him for the hands and face would be a bit lighter. perhaps maybe like that Grey Plastic that the RTS Laser Prime has, is not dark enough but is not lighter enough, is just ok.
also i find it out of place that they made the lower legs red but the feet are black as well his butt panel that they made it black instead of leaving it red(seriously i understand the change of the lower legs, but the butt panel left me like "wtf?").
but i cant argue that the price for this version makes its more affordable than its Takara counterpart although that version is a much nicer looking and more accurate. but then again, Hasbro version is only more affordable than the Takara version because it does not bring the trailer attachment.
IMHO, i would prefer to buy the takara version because is more complete and accurate but since is to pricier then the hasbro version is a better choice for been more affordable plus it fix some of the QC issues but i think ill wait till it gets a price drop later on because as it is, the hasbro version is in no way should cost $60, maybe $45 to $50 but not $60.

I like the colour scheme of the Takara version better but the Hasbro version is not bad either. I will still get it though when it is available in my local toy store or from Ebay.

price wise Hasbro is cheaper but less the RV trailer..... ;D nice pics Mike.....I think if the RV mode was incorporated in the transformation similar to what hasbro did to the 6" Diecast Titanium version then its worthwhile considering a version with it. But as it stands its just a filler that transforms into a "base/station/whatever like OP's trailer so the RV is a big "meh" for me personally. --------------------------------------------------------------- OT: You know you could buy diecast long smokestack replacements for your hasbro MP OP? .......I saw a couple for sale during the TFcon, I was actually tempted to get a set for my Takara MP Prime but I wouldn't know what to do with its original stacks...so I passed.

Points you get from buying certain TF Japanese releases. I believe its printed on the box somewhere. You need to buy quite a few to get 10 points. If I remember correctly, MP Rodimus gives you 3, 2010 Unicron and Primus give 2 each.

Well I still don't have the Hasbro MP Rodimus so I decided to email TRU Corporate to let them know about the issues. Here's their reply: These are the days I wished TRU did go bankrupt a few years back ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png)

did u email back a response after this... Yeah I cursed like a mofo ;D j/k I kept my cool and sent them a link from their own website announcing the TRU exclusive Rodimus. He replied that he is escalating it to a "Specialist" and would have an answer in 5 days. Such a comedy ;D
