I'm already sold on the Hasbro one. That chrome hits the sweet spot. I'd be surprised if there was anything on the United Perceptor to make me change my mind.

We've already seen that the United one has a complete paint deco on the vehicle mode, including the sliver striping on the sides. It also appears to use a less muted "red" plastic in favor of a more vibrant deep red in the same way that Universe Ironhide and Henkei Ironhide differ.

Hey CP will the United version have the chrome chest plate? or be painted silver? just curious. leaning more toward the United version, especially after you seen the differences in IronHides as you mentioned and another great example is Infernos as well.

Ah, that does sound nice. Do you mean this one below? Originally I assumed that toy might have been the Hasbro version. Cause either way, I personally prefer the one with chrome.

Counterpunch wrote:I think that pic is of the United version and that the white/gray/silver parts are just the un-chromed plastic. I doubt very much that Takara would pass on an opportunity for chrome.

I have the Japanese TF Generations book and it shows United Perceptor with chrome plus nice trim paint. The United version makes the Generations Perceptor look very bland.

You should know some photos are of Hasbro figures, not TakaraTomy's.

If he's talking about the book in the photos I posted he's probably right. The picture I have there makes it hard to tell if it's chrome, but it's definitely the Takara version.
Edit: if the Takara version has blue eyes instead of yellow that will seal the deal for me.
