Nice to re update my own post, I passed in the Hasbro version due to its price set at $129 vs acid storm was at $115.

Instead I went for one of those make an offer deal on ebay and got this guy at $145 delivered. I also had the mp-11 starscream and I prefer this mold over mp-3 hands down as I am not a fan of needing a strike eagle plane while the normal f-15 would have done the job better in both modes.

Overall sunstorm orange pops more with the takara version and the only down side is the decrpticon logo being displayed upside down in robot mode.
Also the stands were removed and you can grab it from chipmungmung if you really need one.
