It's also ugly. Seriously, I really don't understand Hasbro sometimes. It's as if they try to choose the least aesthetically pleasing color schemes possible. As contrasted with the Henkei line, the plain ugliness of some of these Universe toys really jumps out at me. I'm not saying that slavish G1 colors is the only option, but just pick something that doesn't look awful.

Maybe it's a Galvatron fan thing, but Hasbro's Galvy doesn't look any less like Galvatron then TT's Galvy.

And aside from Megatron and Ironhide I've yet to see a Classics/Universe figure that's distinctly uglier then what TT's given us.

 

Anyway, both Henkei and Universe versions look like they have a Galvatron-ish paint job to me, but Henkei! has random chrome syndrome to the point of going beyond randomly annoying and into KO territory. So IMO Hasbro wins this round.

What's really sad is that we're talking about a figure that's essentially crap on a stick, regardless of what colour you paint it :tfemo

:argh for great truthiness

 

I do think that the orange bits on Hasbro Galvatron are majorly icky and SWTF-ish.

And thus for arguing over a toy I will never bother to buy I've become all that I hate :emo
