hah, got this from d net..now i am even more dissapointed.. it is indeed smaller. haizz..i was looking forward to it, but not anymore i guess..

Variants, bad quality control, distancing themselves from racial stereotypes...  Take your pick, but Hasbro do both green and metallic teeth so it isn't a Hasbro vs. Takara thing.

Known 'variants' or running changes made so far: (feel free to add on any I've missed)

Skids : Green teeth, Gold & Silver teeth
Mudflap : TRAX licence plate, MUDFLAP licence plate
Breakaway : Light brown, Dark metallic brown
Sideways : Dark grey, Light grey
HA Bumblebee : Sticker on packaging, Embossed packaging
Cannon Bumblebee : Blue painted windows, Blue transparent windows
Leader Prime : Red neck, grey neck (this one is a Hasbro vs Takara thing though).

i am collecting the petronas TRANSFORMER..

They gave RM9 discount from the list price of RM24.90, right ?

if they know OP can combine with jetfire...for sure they will bring it to boost the sales

my ROTF collections so far:

Bumblebee, Cannon Bumblebee, Skids, Mudflap, Sideways, Desert Brawl, Interrogator Barricade, Optimus Prime, IronHide, Ratchet & Starscream.

Left three more which are Grindor, Jolt, Sideswipe and then that's it. The end for my ROTF collections. 

i think Jetfire will be my last target, suffer on buget. >.<

it's a bidding style la bro...the price may increase higher than that

* i think i can manage to get loose but new sideswipe around rm60....anyone interest? 

loose - mean no box. it's never been played or transform before

BIB - take out from box..either have been played before or not..it's still BIB / used

Ah,i still prefer retail as i prefer to look at each transformer's paint job and pick the best out of it.

How much difference between a Takara Deluxe and a Hasbro Deluxe? Other than price and paint job.

Does Takara's one have better joints or use better material? My Skid's right leg is kinda lose now,after transforming twice.

If Takara have better joints,im thinking of getting a Takara Breakaway then.Really like the robot mode of that transformer and the plane mode is pretty thin too.The mold is great overall.

Guys, Any toy sightings on Rotf Leader Jetfire, Voyager Longhaul, Supreme Devastator or Scout Scalpel? 

I scouting yesterday saw 3 boxes of legend class at Isetan Gardens

so many.... no money to buy @.@

My collection

The one with the Mudflap plate

anyone got experience that during transformation some part of it will tertanggal or suddenly drop out and need to join it back again? my ratchet back part of vehicle suddenly drop out and need to join it back.
this is it mean my ratchet is bad quality or this is normal case when part drop out? because this is my first time facing this.

A word of caution to those who have the old uncle...
when u snap the belt strap together, make sure u don't flick it sideways to open it back.
I accidentally squeezed that part...and now it's broken. Doesn't hug OP that good anymore

Anyone went to the TRU sales yet? Anything eye-catching ?

Sorry if this is a bit late guys but did anyone went to the Hasbro warehouse sale ? Mind sharing what is available during that time ? (I didn't go because of PC Fair )

Plent of discounts on transformers stuff ... at least 30%
