I think they removed a moving part from the toy as a cost cutting measure to balance out the remolded head and crane.

They did, and I think it suffers for it. That and they really got sting on the paint apps. I dunno about everyone else, but I like to see more than 2 colors of plastic and a paint app here or there. Detail is very important in bringing these out of the realm of toys and into detailed robot collectibles. Especially in a larger toy like this. Not that I'd buy it anyways since don't collect Grapples, but still.

You're forgetting they're still toys meant to be played with, by kids

Yeah yeah, I know. Really, they're just not living up to precedents set in the past. There's a noticeable decline in paint apps in each line after RiD. It was tolerable until recently, when they stopped doing exhaust pipes, emblems and tail lights.

All the more for me or anyone else to practice painting skills I guess

Freakin' A man!! The head on the Takara version is tip-top, the chrome hook is cool, and unless I just can't spot the Autobot symbol on the Hasbro version, the Takara version has that point. The only other beef I got with the Takara version is the open hand crap. But with no gun then no closed fist to pry it out from I suppose.
And what is the deal with the symbols not being visible on some TF's in their alt-mode? Is it because of the whole rub being back? Some one let me know...but United Grapple is choice 'nuff said!
