Agreed.

i had actually thought about the yellow eyes being painted over previously clear plastic. but i havent had much luck with nail polish remover in the past. i once tried to turn a ko device label usb cheetor into a steeljaw. removing the spots worked, but if i wasnt careful it left a strange (almost burnt) texture in the plastic. maybe that was just due to the quality of the plastic itself, but i was worried about the hound eyes because ive heard clear plastic is more fragile. so im to worried to mess with it.

Do NOT use nail polish remover. Acetone melts plastics, regardless of type and chemical mixture.

Agreed.
henkei is more representative of G1 for sure. black shins with red on the knees, stars on the shoulders/front fenders, yellow hood stripe (though G1 was gold). the placement of the autobot symbol is nice for the jeep mode, but not the bot mode. cause theres his head... and right under his chin is a picture of a face lol. and if we're comparing to G1, thats where the hood star should be.
specialists hounds symbol has better placement on the hood as it disappears in bot mode. he still has a symbol in bot mode on the shoulder and a military star opposite. and he does have the nice gold triangles on the doors in jeep mode.
and hey, im a sucker for the metallic paint.

However, the Specialists repaint (except for those easily fixable yellow eyes) is much more G1 cartoon accurate with the green shins, Autobot emblem on the front, and yellow triangles on the sides, among other touches. It's a matter of what you prefer in your display.
Also, the yellow eyes and details on Specialist Hound's crotch piece may be an obscure reference to this scene from the G1 cartoon episode S.O.S Dinobots when Hound radios the Autobot base:
