Well, they haven't messed up the Mastperpiece decos.
In your opinion perhaps, but every one I've seen was less G1 cartoon accurate than what Takara gave us, at least in the new line so far (and most of the previous ones besides Grimlock and the first release of MP-01).
...Takara gets all the decos right?
The very first release of MP Starscream (by Takara, ironically enough) begs to differ.
Seriously though, all the MP releases, whether they've been Hasbro or Takara, have been faithful to the character they are homaging. What MP release wasn't accurate to their characters? The only differences between Hasbro and Takara releases are subtle deco differences (for example, Hasbro's MP10 was colored more like the original cartoon, whereas the Takara release emulates the original toy).
Look at MP-11.
Hasbro's MP-10 was NOT colored like the cartoon. Go back and look at any episode of G1 featuring Optimus Prime. Hasbro's colors emulate the brighter colors that started with the Michael Bay movie franchise and the likes. In G1, the blue was always about as dark as on the toy.
