If I would be interested in picking Computron up, I would go with the Takara version. Because for one I don’t even know if the Hasbro boxset will ever be released in Germany and if it will it’ll be the same price as importing a UW boxset anyways so... not a hard decision.

Also, I fully expect that Hasbro's set will have no new tooling whatsoever aside from Strafe. Like, maybe they have the new head on Afterburner just because they also have the rest of the new parts, but the rest? Don’t think they’ll get new headsculpts. The Brawl-mold is also pretty bad IMO, so getting a Rook-remold is much better.

Takara's set just has so much new tooling and extras that it would be hard for me to settle with the Hasbro version, even if I would get it cheaper. The new hands and feet are nice, but they don't really matter to me.

But that's just me. I won't buy him anyway, never cared much for Computron or the Technobots.

The color varied in the cartoon, he was orange-ish in "Grimlock's New Brain" but completely red in "Money is Everything":



Takara decided to use the red color-scheme apparently.
