It actually all depends on what version/preception of it you are going buy.
You'll notice that homages fall under one of two catagories.
Comic/Toon and Toys.
The Comic Cartoon adaptions/homages are usually done by those that Favor the cartoons or comics over the toys and same with the people that love the toys.
In more recent cases comics usually follow the Toy design more then the cartoon adaptions because they work with hands on referances.
I'm betting, like myself, you are more about the toys then the toons.
I Like the Silver chest toy version more because I do think all vehicals should have some sort of metallic coloring. If you wanted more cartoon accurate but still be faithful to the toy you would use a dull coat glaze over the silver to flatten it out to a silver/gray.
If you wanted toy you would Clear Coat glaze it to keep the silver's metallic shine.
I prefer the metallic shine but I would go with a light grey to highlight his face with the eyes painted silver and then a coat of clear red on top of them. It gives it that red glowing eyes feel that you would like to see simulated in machines. I do the same for light blue.
In any case, I don't understand why you just didn't wait for the two pack comming out at Target and just make the changes you wanted then but without having to worry about the black paint chipping.
Looks good but there were so many other options that you could have had that you know we won't get.
