Hey guys... took these myself from the current dengeki hobby (sorry tetsuwan, had to have a quick peek:))

Henkei on left, Universe on right (not that you can't already tell!). They say specifically the colours match on Sunstreaker, and that Prowl will have a more solid white coating. New to me was the japanese style lights on Prowl's roof.

btw i'm not sure of OTCA's magazine scan/photo policy, so mods please remove if necessary!

Awesome, Takara seem to be keeping the color yellow consistent, something that Hasbro has failed in both Universe Sunstreaker and Deluxe Animated Bumblebee.

That was more the defining factor for getting Henkei Sunstreaker than the chrome, a car alt mode looks ugly if you have different shades of the same color on it.

Henkeis definitely look gooder to me. I prefer the Japanese style strobes on Prowl since he is sporting Japanese police car colours! :)

I prefer the Hasbro strobes on Prowl purely for personal taste, but it wont make me buy it over the Henkei!

My Classics Bumblebee is the same shade of yellow throughout. Are there releases which aren't?

Edit: Never mind, I checked again and there is a difference in color although much more subtle than Animated Bumblebee and Sunstreaker. It also helps that the yellow on that figure is largely broken up by the white paint apps instead of one solid color like those other yellow toys.
