That's it, I will be selling my Hasbro versions and getting these. Why is TakaraTomy stuff always better than Hasbro's (the exception being Masterpiece Starscream)?

Metalic paint? Cool. But by all means, not show accurate. Animated's colours are matt, not gloss. Hasbro wins!

I'd like to pick up one of these. Just one, mind. I don't think a metalic paint job is automatically going to make the Takara versions superior (As... 99% of you believe). If there were some interesting exclusives though, I might pick up one of those. If I'm interested in it, of course.

Oh! A sidenote. I wonder how many weeaboos are going to insist "Hasbro" ruined "Takara's" "anime"?

I'm really digging Blitzwing's paintjob here. The others... not all too much - however I'm waiting on Takara's Arcee. She might have a better paintjob.
