So that dark blue rectangle, the only area where I like the Hasbro Blurr more than the Takara (cos Hasbro has it same colour as the shield so it doesn't sick out so much) is for a lil landing gear-like strut thingy for a lame sled? Oh well, I still love the general look of Takara Blurr.
Scourge looks better in the Takara version too. It's just that extra mass on the head that puts me off it. The alt-mode is certainly the best Scourge has ever had.
Shockwave doesn't look particularly great in either version. Just a very mediocre-at-best design. Prefer the Hasbro colours cos I like a dark menacing Shockwave.

Are you referring to Scourge? Because Hasbro's still going for toy accuracy and takara's still going for cartoon accuracy there, right down to the colour on the sides of the legs and wings, placement of the Decepticon symbol and other little painted details.

The front of the vehicle, which is used for a shield, can also be flipped over to become a smaller vehicle for the Titan Master to ride in.

The Takara version gets it almost completely right, with two tones of blue in all the right spots, his "wings" darkened on the inside, all the paint details in the right places, AND by painting the Headmaster kibble behind his proper head white, it helps hide that extra bulk that is too obvious on the unpainted Hasbro version. The ONLY thing missing is some red claws on his finger tips. This shall be my definitive "Classics" Scourge, and I'll buy a trio of the Hasbro release for his Sweeps. I'm loving that Shockwave too. I just wish he could be deluxe or even voyager sized, though.

That sled feature is kind of funny... when it's used Blurr is either a headless robot or a hoodless car, no?

Also, to everyone who says Hasbro is going for the toy deco, it doesnt look it. Its more like they went with minimal paint apps and that happens to fit some aspect of the toy. In any case, since we already have the G1 toy, I feel this is a great chance to actually have a Blurr that has the deco fo the show.
