well that depends on the series. for Rotf, there seems to be very little differences(minute details). for other series, the the difference spans from construction material, painted parts and some safety regulation issues. the mold itself however, in terms of articulations, transformation and overall design is 99% the same.

I already have TFTM OP and Nightwatch (Leader) by Takara, should I buy a Takara ROTF OP also ?

p.s. Got my Legends Class Megatron from Petronas last night

The mold and overall appearance is quite different between TFTM and ROTF...

TFTM OP is more on the bulky side whereas ROTF OP imo is more lean and movie accurate

I would say it definitely worth to pick it up.

However I am waiting patiently for a premium version with TakTom's chrome bling bling

My actual question of whether I should collect Takara ROTF OP or Hasbro ROTF OP since I already have 2 Takara TFTM OP

How does it look like ?

So no one has had problems with HA BB's door not closing properly? Oh boy, I must be really unlucky

Dude, rotf optimus can be say as the best optimus you can get. Watch the comments in youtube review.

I am definitely getting a ROTF OP in my collection of Primes... but should it be Takara or Hasbro. I already have 2 Takara TFTM OP Leader

Pardon me,What is the meaning of TFTM?
Btw do you have any clue where to the the LC OP?
Anyone knows,please help.

Yeah, mine doesn't close too well either. Seems like the fit between the door and the rest of the panels is a little too snug.
Got to kind of force it in to the door frame to get it to close properly most of the time.

Ronnie : Both r quite the same. its also been discussed about the differences of both. if u like the 'takara' sound on ur optimus brand, its up to you. we can decide 4u, its ur money.

BeeOhh : TFTM = TransFormers The Movie (first movie)

as mentioned, the difference is just a minute paint job, not much else. worth it or not, it's your call. for me, it's not.

Which Petronas are you going to? The ones I visit still only have Bumblebee - and LOTS of it!!!
Even Starscream isn't on their shelves till Sunday...

It doesn't!
Neither Hasbro nor Takara have said there will be a 'Premium' line nor have there been any whispers about one.
Hasbro have even gone on record to say there won't be the same kind of repaints done for the RoTF line...

My advice is to get whichever you can lay your hands on. There is about 0.5% difference in the toy for about 10% difference in the price.

Where can pre-order the Takara OP ?

Then your Petronas station is following the marketing dept's rule to the word.
I bought mine at Petronas Bandar Kinrara, Puchong.

BTW, no fuel/Mesra shop purchase required

ermm..sorry..what the difference LEADER CLASS AND LEGEND CLASS..i thot LEADER CLASS the highest one..i bought OP ROTF LC last sunday..got swords..but no gun..juz waiting for JETFIRE to combine wit my OP ROTF

Leader Class is many times bigger than Legends Class

Well, I know XL-Shop got a new shipment in a day or so ago so you could try there if you don't mind their higher pricing.
ToyWiz have also been bringing them in but not sure if they'll be getting a restock on Takara ones or sticking to Hasbro now.


They are indeed.
I drive past that station quite regularly. Might have to stop by and see what they've got over the weekend.
Thanks!

Ghoyle, where is XL-Shop?
