Hasbro and Takara are really knocking these Beast Wars figures out of the park. I would pay nearly any amount if they were to do all of the original fourteen Beast Wars characters.
Please, Hasbro. Please.
I believe you meant to say "Hasbro is" but ended up putting "and Takara are". Takara has yet to put out an accurate Beast Wars paint job in the Generations line.
like others have said.. takara's rhinox looks more accurately colored than hasbro's does.. but again, we'll have to wait for unofficial photos to find that out for sure.
and.. if you're saying "generations" meaning the entire classics/universe/generations/etc lines.. then i'd HAVE to point to takara's dinobot and say that you are absolutely 100% dead wrong... otherwise, there haven't been any new mold beast wars figures to come out since dinobot and cheetor. so, until both hasbro's and takara's figures can be shown side by side we don't know which are more accurate.
but.. right now, judging from photo's of hasbro's and takara's rhinox and seeing comparisons to stills from the show, i'd say that takara's is closer. especially when you throw the guns into the mix.

Optimus Primal - Optimus Prime (Duh)
Rhinkx - Ratchet (boring medic)
Cheetor - Hot Rod (young upstart)
Dinobot - Starscream (Imfamous traitor - seeks leadership)
Megatron - Megatron (duh)
Scorponok - Soundwave (Loyal to megratron)
Terrasaur - Another version of Starscream
Taruntalas - Shockwave (scientist with his own lair)
Waspinator - ??? (Ok his personality is unique as well)
wouldn't rattrap be considered a bumblebee type character? .. i mean, i think he's as much of a bumblebee as dinobot is a starscream..
to me, starscream and dinobot have VERY little in common.
i never looked at rhinox as being a ratchet.. but rather an amalgamate of ratchet and ironhide.. i mean.. you'd never see ratchet with gattling guns like that.
i mean, besides primal, megatron and cheetor.. most of the characters personalities are rather different. you can point out small aspects of each of them that could be similar to other characters, but i think you could point out things about everyone that are the same as someone else.
(this is if we're talking about the G1 cartoon.
