Hasbro's Soundwave appeals to those who prefer toy accuracy whereas TakTOM's goes for cartoon likeness. Although Hasbro's QA on Soundwave's visor isn't as good (re: crazy eye circles). Hasbro's MP Grimlock is also almost the same as TakTOM's. The inclusion of the crown over the brain scanner/waiter kit is a big plus for me as I'm a bigger fan of the G1 comics than the cartoon (but of course TakTOM's is better for cartoon fans, and their limited exclusive version for fans of Nel Yomtov ).
Hasbro Starscream at the time is far better then Greenscream but it still goes for the original G1 toy colors whereas the new takara MP11 colors are much more show accurate same as their Collection 9 G1 Starscream reissue. Both my Hasbro/Takara Soundwave's have the eye circles I think that's from the molding of the plastic as it has 2 pegs that attach it to the head which is what the circles probably are. Hasbro Rumble/Frenzy use white screws/pins which stick out a lot more then the black ones on Takara but it's a minor issue.

Dunno why they're releasing another minor char, I want a decent Skywarp damn it. It'd actually look better in toy colors too, I know they did universe Skywarp but that's the old mold. I guess the Hasbro Sunstorm will sell better since it'll be cheaper maybe it doesn't come with a cape at that price range.
