I think it's better without the extra paint that Takara offers, because it looks more cartoon-accurate, if you're into that.
The only difference as far as I can tell, aside from the weapons and white outline around the symbol, is that the Takara version has red cuffs on its boots; a longer red stripe on the chest and some black in the knees.
Personally, I would have omitted the red cuffs on his sleeves, too.
If you want to be OCD, the paint apps on the Hasbro version (especially on his chest) is more cartoon accurate. Tomy's has those to extended extra red stripes making him more packaging accurate (take a look at the IDW art work in the 30th Jetfire box).
Btw, as I previously mentioned on the complaints about the extra cost, read the Parable of the Merchant and the Pearl. Religious connotations aside, it is apt for us collectors whether the extra price is worth it.
Also, Jetfire is already pre ordered. I'll keep the Hasbro in Jet mode and Tomy in bot mode.
Arcee and the other fembots are next (will be skipping the Hasbro Arcee and Chromia for theses babies!).
Is that a first for officially-released -Master figures?
