No, my point was that an organic T-Rex and a robotic one (representing organic and robotic kaiju respectively) would be preferable to a lorry representing a robotic kaiju and a robotic dinosaur representing a biological kaiju.This is what you're saying is better: a T-Rex with a different head. Take away the spines, the humanoid arms and the proportions and the result no longer resembles Godzilla any more than a generic black dinosaur. Grimlock may not be a good Godzilla, but he at least evokes "guy in a suit" better than this abomination.
The Hasbro equivalent of that is J Balvintron, though.Another AMAZING collaboration TF might be coming out from those hardworking peeps at Takara Tomy! Who needs all those film and TV crossover figures from America when we get spoilt by releases like THIS!

They couldn't use Trypticon?
i think it was an "artistic" choice, like how a J-Pop starlet "chose" the colours for a TF too? However, I can't for the life of me remember what figure it was or who it was that painted it.That....is pretty hideous. I'm guessing they were going for a Voltron-esque sort of thing? Like we're supposed to assume that he's the combined form of several separate pieces?

I'd be all over thatIf Hasbro does anything for the US, I still think Apeface and Snapdragon retools would make a decent King Kong and Godzilla.
There have actually been several Transformers whose colors were chosen by someone they were done in collaboration with.i think it was an "artistic" choice, like how a J-Pop starlet "chose" the colours for a TF too?

There have actually been several Transformers whose colors were chosen by someone they were done in collaboration with.
The pastel-colored version of Binaltech Meister's colors were picked by model and actress Mayuko Iwasa.
(Also there was literally only one made and it was auctioned for charity, so odds are the person who bought it didn't even really care what colors it was.)
The Kiss Players cassettes and Sparkbots were designed by the voice actresses from the radio program.
On Hasbro's side, Linkin Park picked the colors for that ugly gold Soundwave.
And I think J Balvin may have chosen the colors of J Balvintron, but I'm less sure on that.
Reminds me of the old Volkswagens in the optional "harlequin" paint scheme:Another AMAZING collaboration TF might be coming out from those hardworking peeps at Takara Tomy! Who needs all those film and TV crossover figures from America when we get spoilt by releases like THIS!

They are. I've said before, most of the "exclusive" boxes sets and single figures, including the majority of the the crossover line, capsules, etc, are not available in Japan. Most of the exclusive did we've had are overpriced "upgraded" animation-accurate recolours of the same character-figures most of us already bought (and have no intention of buying again) or extremely expensive side project figures (like the Missing Link line, MP Ginrai, etc). Also, most of these are available soon after in the US, etc. Coupled with that, we have to wait ages for regular figure releases, which are identical to the US versions, plus most TFs can only really be bought easily online as most shops don't stock them.It feels weird saying Hasbro's doing more high effort stuff, but in this case they genuinely are. Even when their Collabs are just remolds, they're pretty extensive.
I feel like a Takara JP crossover would be just be Optimus Prime with the JP logo somewhere on the trailer.
