I prefer the Takara version as it has full sized smoke stacks. Paint apps wise nicer too IMO, though Hasbro's colours can vary depending on which version you want. Check out online pics, or better yet, other people who own the toys - and decide which one you'd like for yourself.

I think the truck mode looks nice enough (remembering that it's not officially part of the Binaltech/Alternators line anyway). The truck mode has a lot of details and neat features too. I like how it has proper headlights (whereas the original G1 Prime just had the wrist holes) and it also has 'working suspension' too. The inside of the cab also has seats, which is pretty neat considering that the chest is not hollow as it has the Matrix chamber.

It remains my favourite of the MP moulds. (:
