Generally for TFTM and ROTF. From what we've seen of DOTM, I'm not too hopeful. Of course fingers crossed for a better Leader Ironhide.

Is Takara's version of Sen Prime look more Red than salmon color or pinkish red? I'm hoping he's more red or dark red, since Takara is noted for the darker colors.

Takara and Hasbro movie toys were nearly identical when it came to the main line for TFTM and ROTF minus figures like Black Arcee, Black Incinerator and Black Soundwave. So saying Takara is better for Movie toys is a farce. It was only the Autobot Alliance toyline in 2010 that started to deviate from the normal trend, and even then there weren't many differences. DOTM hasn't changed either, sans three characters, Arcee, Vortex and Air Raid.

Normal retail version is identical to Hasbro's. The Movie Masterpiece will be much nicer.

That's great news ! But, is there any factual proof that both Ironhide and Sentinel will be re-released as Movie Masterpieces. I really value the better look and paint-apps from the MPM line, so I think it's worth to wait as long as it really happens :-)
