The Takara ones are true to the original toys. The TRU ones had their weapons altered a little bit. They were not chrome painted, just all black. And the missles don't fire for child safety reasons.
One huge dissappointment was the TRU ver. of G1 Prime had his smoke stacks cut off short, again for child safety reasons. Soo stupid. When we were kids we never had to worry about Prime's smokestacks being a danger. I would recommend you stay away from the TRU line, and go with the Takara ones. Don't forget that the missiles were also much bigger. I never minded the shorter smokestacks, but the enlarged missiles look a little silly. Another problem with the reissues is Jazz's face got a little messed up. There was some deformity with the mold, I remember this being on the Takara Book Style and TRU versions. I replaced it with a vintage head (I think I had to do some modification to the vintage one to get it to fit though) |
