Looking at the two of these together, Takara on the left, Hasbro on the right, which do you think looks better?

It's kinda hard to say, I'm more partial to the darker yellow on TakaraTomy, but the Hasbro yellow also has its charm. How do the shades compare with other Bumblebee figures?
Top 5 Priorities:
1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)
Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

I prefer the darker, less transparent yellow of the Takara one.

As usual the Takara version is much, much better than Hasbro's IMO.
Just out of interest how do they compare to the new TF Prime RID version?

The RID version is somewhere between the two, but looks awful in its own way by not matching the yellow paint to the yellow plastic.
The Takara FE BB is straight up more show accurate. The Hasbro version has a hint of transparency to the plastic.

Sure thing. You know me, I'm just bluntly honest about this stuff. I don't fanboy for Takara or Hasbro. It's just whichever is actually better.

Well it is Prime BB so I could honestly care less because nothing short of being a completely different character would make me like him. For the sake of an opinion of which here is better though... well I'm still kinda annoyed by a color argument about shades of yellow that I've been in recently, so I'll say the Hasbro version looks better.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

don't take that to mean I'm a killjoy just because I can be, though...

The darker one looks a little better, but based solely on that photo, not different enough to worry about.
Is there a similar pic of them in alt mode? That might make a difference.
