looking really good!
the WFC figures look greatly improved and the robots seem to be posed less awkwardly.
not sure about Voyager Megs. Eliminates some of the things I wasn't too keen on with Henkei version but also takes away some of the things I really liked. I suppose it's a good substitute if you don't have that version.
and is he just always called Optimus Prime in Japan now as well?

WOW! these look awesome! looks like ill have to get classics BB, Megs and WFC Soundwave to add to my collection.

Now we just need to see Scourge, Kup, Wheeljack and the others to compare side by side pics.

Every one of those figures looks better than the ones we get. Even the packaging!

MAN! I have to get that UN-09 Megatron! That thing is badass. Can you even ship that thing here, since it's a *gasp* gun?

EDIT: Just checked out BBTS for UN-09. I guess you can get one here!

Almost every one of these looks better than Hasbro's version. I don't really like the silver on Bumblebee though. I like the black stripes much better. I wish we could get a Hasbro version of the deluxe Optimus Prime and the voyager Megatron, too. I'm wondering whether to get Henkei or United Megatron.

THat soundwav looks pretty cool! But I'm not putting much effort into the best WFC figs, so I'm happy with the Generations one.

Some of these figures do look better than their American counterparts but some of them look almost exactly the same. Also unless I was a misb collector (whihc I am not) I could care less how they are packaged as long as it cannot be damaged in the package. The front of these United packageges look plain but the backs do look nice. Overall, I would much rather pay $9.00 for the american version rather than $33.99 for these.

I sorta feel sorry for some japanese fans right about now, I mean, they grew up with Convoy, not Optimus prime, I know its just a name, but still. :-(

For anyone who missed out on the Japanese release of Megatron (UN-09) the first time around, I recommend you snap this re-release up NOW. The colours are awesome on him. Highly recommended.

NOW I wish I'd waited for United WFC Megatron... oh well, BBTS prices are too much anyway. Maybe if I see it at a local import store I'll pick it up.

None of them look exactly the same like hasbro version. Is just major diff or minor diff.
Closest to hasbro version are drift and straxus. But they are still different.
Eg. Drift is much whiter than generations version. Hasbro version looks yellowish beside takara drift. And some minor details.

I may have to spring for that voyager Megatron, that is a really nice paint job. Other than cliffjumper & voyager megs i like hasbros versions better.
