The base model for the custom was a recent Hasbro release, where as the comparative model is an original Hasbro release from a number of years ago. Another difference I notice (that pisses me off just a little) is the gold chrome claws on the dino legs/robot arms is beautiful on the more recent release, but a poor, slightly dull gold painted on the earlier Grimlock. Other than that, the earlier one has generally better paint apps.
Wasn't the first Hasbro release the only one with the tampo'd stripes on the robot mold shoulders too?
