Now that they're next to each other, I notice more of the differences than I did before. I might have to pick up the new one if it's as structurally sound or better than the PoTP version. The colors look good on both, but I like the toon/comic-accurate chest and head even better.

Yeah, and the Twitter comments mention that Takara also kept some of the toy sticker-based paint apps of the Hasbro version so as to keep the Takara version from looking too plain.

For one, Sinnertwin and Cutthroat are mistransformed in leg mode: Sinnertwin's shoulders are supposed to be swung back like in monster mode, then have the feet peg into the back where the robot mode legs are (same for Snarl btw), while Cutthroat's arms are supposed to be straight down along the body like in monster mode. Not that would make the latter any sturdier...

Guess they're gonna start comparing them one at a time, now.

Three more to go.

Cartoon-accuracy. It's Takara's thing.

Yeah, I know all about that, and I'm all for it. I just don't see how the stickers take away from that.

It's detail that wasn't in the cartoon models, so from Takara's view, it doesn't belong.

I keep forgetting about that mode. So I guess that makes him a 7-changer.

I count 6
1.Super megatron
2.Ultra Megatron
3.Megatron Omega Perfect mode
4.Super Jet
5.Ultra Tank
6.Space Artillery

Im counting Megatron Omega under Ultra Megatron do to being the exact same just with the alternate face instead of the normal face

The manga considers Megatron Omega to be a separate mode since its power is increased from Ultra Megatron.

For whatever reason, screen accuracy is less important to me for the characters from 1986 on.

Same, I'm perfectly happy with the potp versions.
