I've been thinking the opposite with head sculpt while the rest of him is very nice and clean except for the trigger guard sticking out the back. I just feel that the head looks a bit youthful like it was before the cybertronian war, before the anger started to build.

It wasn't until I saw him beside appolyon that I noticed just how much more battle hardened appolyon face looks in comparison to despotron.
In hand colour test shots might prove me wrong though.
