No, Takara's is better. They got the deco right, whereas Hasbro did the door wing decos and the head (and a few others that haven't come to the top of my head) differently.

Yet, with Takara's reputation of doing typically gorgeous decos, this one falls flat by using stale color hues with dull, faded tinting. Both Hasbro and Takara especially fail to realize that Smokescreen is silver, not bone white.PrymeStriker wrote:There's a difference between less paint when there's enough paint and less paint when there's too much. BH Smokescreen looks like a box of crayons with a head. Red, Yellow, and Blue when his color scheme only requires red and blue. Takara's Smokescreen has blue eyes, a sliver face, a red headcrest, an Autobot insignia, red shoulder stripes, checkered doors, utterly clear headlights in vehicle mode, blue stripes on the door, blue paint on the legs, and accurate knees; everything the Hasbro version lacks. It's clear which one is painted decently and which one was colored by a 7-year-old at a sit-in restaurant; the paint dial-back is for the better here.

a google image search for the term brings up a lot of Transformers pics. Many of them not dragons at all. Care to enlighten those of us who're not aware of every facet of your mind?

Smokescreen seemed like a metallic white from episode 43(?)-56 for me, therefore do not care if he's a dull white. Regardless, I find Takara's paint job much better than Hasbro's bull. At least this time I don't have to paint anything on him because of his gross lack of show accuracy (aside from th crotchplate, which can be easily fixed with a silver sharpie)

Show accuracy be damned.
