I wish I could add anything other than agreeing with this list. And yeah. I still don't get what they were going for with the original MP-Starscream colors.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Probably I'm the minority but I always dislike and avoid Takara versions.
Since Generations Thrust is already being mentioned, I like to mention Generations RTS Perceptor as well.

Great example by the way!

Great list as always Will! I agree with every one of your choices, and your explanation for each was pretty good. A few suggestions for your next list would be Top 5 best Deluxe figures, Top 5 best voyager figures, Top 5 best G1 Headmaster figures, and Top 5 best Headmaster figures post G1.

OOuuu, I like that one very much, and I can already think of my number 1 for that list.

Oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............
Gotta admit that that vehicle mode on United Perceptor is BEAUTIFUL. I do love my cars to be all shiny. Plus that silver highlight make it all better. Too bad all the paint budget went for the vehicle at the expense of the bot mode.
Guess, that if I ever come across a United Perceptor, I'll parts-swap with my Hasbro to make my ideal one.

I prefer Hasbro's 30th thrilling Springer over Takara's one. Though I still did end up painting and modding it.
I have anxiety, depression and aspergers syndrome so my behaviour can be erratic. I don't mean offense to anyone. Just very picky about my Transformers collecting. You're all cool! 
Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron

I agree, the variety of more vibrant colors makes the Hasbro version pop a lot more nicely! It's kinda like a (slightly less intense) reverse of the TR/LG Blurr situation, now that I think about it. Admittedly I wouldn't have put him on the Top 5 list either - the differences aren't quite important enough for that IMO - but definitely a good example of the phenomenon.
