I'm... not sure what the differences are? Probably not enough in this case for me to want to get them instead, but definitely do think it's a little ridiculous how quickly they're changing what Hasbro's putting out this time.

Thanks.

Wow. They look a lot better!

Still don't think I'd want to pay for just those differences, but yeah I see the appeal.

They're basically trying to make the heads as cartoon-accurate as possible, and I like that.

I can’t wait to see what they do with Powermaster Prime, they might go beyond just giving him a new Headmaster because of Super Ginrai. Maybe they actually retool him into a Powermaster and make Ginrai a Godmaster engine.

Yeah, as good as the Hasbro Prime looks I'm all for getting as much Masterforce detail out of him as possible.

I like that Takara are getting in on this early so I don't inadvertently lock myself into any preorders I decide not to keep.

I had no intention of getting Powermaster Prime, but maybe I will keep an open mind for what Takara might do to it.

That's certainly a good point.

Nice! I didn't even realize he was on the horizon. Entertaining video, too.

I'm relieved that the paintjob looks so much better now, last week he still missed fur on his head and around his chest which made me think if that's who he’s gonna look in person. Glad I'm wrong, the updated paintjob looks fantastic. I hope he goes up for pre-order in April.

Fantastic! But I don't see a release date window or a new MP number... :sigh:
