Well it is all subjective. The red paint on the + makes the original look really dull by comparison in my opinion. This combined with the improved head and swapping in white in certain areas like the feet made it worthwhile for me. Really didn't like the grey tyres though.

I have the 2nd run of MP-12 so it has the same face as the + version and mine has really good paint but if you only had the first run I reckon the + version would be very tempting. Personally, I thought of picking it up because I love the MP-12 mold (I also have the 3rd release sitting in its box still plus G2 Sideswipe) but I couldn't get past the grey tyres and black back panel. I also think smoked windows work better on this guy.
Having said this, if by some random chance the + version becomes really cheap, I may pick it up.

Yeah sure it can be subjective, I guess for me it just seems like these '+' versions have taken away detail or made it harder to see. Getting rid of the Lamborghini logo and text as an example is something I just cannot see as an improvement. Different, but not better.
I don't want these figures to become overly plain! That recent 3rd party Starscream is more cartoon accurate but the blue stripes on his legs look weird! So now people are making sculpted air vent things to go on there. A new Grimlock or other Dinobots with big blocks of solid yellow everywhere instead of detailed gold and clear plastic would be more cartoon accurate but also super boring! To me, at least hehe.

IMO they are all plain whichever version. The main issue is there was no foundation on how MPs were based.
I find myself liking some over the old ones and not necessarily the new is better either. I didnt like mp-10 because it wasn't "here" or "there" both Hasbro and Takara had missing paint apps. and one reason why I liked the EVA mp-10 because it was well painted.
MP-36 wasn't a + but it sure looks like one. So you see the issue here? Is a big cock up.
Wheeljacks unpainted white made it looked bare imo.
There is no reason why the Lamborghini logo cant be printed. I do agree thats not on. I just wish they have the MP line sorted, there shouldn't a need to guess whether this mp is going to plus that isn't etc.
Anyway too early to say as we seen nothing yet, could be bad for all I know.
