You can unfold the wing to better emulate his original cape, you know? That's how I have mine.

Henkei Hot Rodimus is another good one to consider with the G1-accurate flame and chromed spoiler. Do be warned both have been KO'ed, but Prime's a little easier to tell: the doors have been retooled on the KO to split the clear windows from the now opaque doors, on the original it was all a single clear piece painted over.

Galvatron: either Henkei, or the upcoming Specialist one.
Cyclonus: Battle in Space or Challenge of Cybertron.
Laser Optimus Prime: United
Deluxe Tank Megatron: United, could double as G2 Europe Archforce
Ironhide: Henkei, or the upcoming Specialist one. The Hasbro version has a blue face by accident, but nothing a sharpie can't fix.
Smokescreen: Henkei, the Hasbro one's deco is just... bad. Granted, it was the deco artist's first professional work, and he shares our disappointment.
Powerglide: the red Walmart one, the TakaraTomy release has too much red
The rest can be either or

What are some other Takara-Tomy versions of Classics/neo-G1 figures to look into? I already have United Voyager Megatron (he's almost perfect) and I'm contemplating picking up United Tracks and Jazz, Tracks for the better G1 flame decal, and Jazz for the extra paint apps and brighter white plastic. Henkei Optimus Prime is very appealing, but in general, I'm trying to avoid most Henkei figures because I don't care much for the arbitrarily chromed parts on most of them. Henkei Prime's chrome makes perfect sense, though, and looks very nice. What else should be on my wish list for screen-accurate or superior decoed Classics-styled figures?

Jazz
Tracks
Smokescreen
Smokescreen again just to be certain you hear.
Ironhide
Ratchet
Hound
Sunstreaker, OMG Sunstreaker
Inferno
Megatron
Drift (Shocking, I know, but trust me...)
Figures that may or may not be better depending on your taste:
Hook
Optimus
Skywarp
Prowl
Bluestreak
Red Alert
Bumblebee
Figures that are not worth the effort or are less accurate:
Sideswipe
Grimlock
Kupp (but if you use him as TM Kup, bump him up a notch)
Blurr (Same as Kup)
Octane
