I'm pretty sure the Takara one has battle damage as well. I think the only difference is an insignia on the nosecone.

Takara did away with the weathering paint scheme jay. A lot of people had fanboy whinges about it on the boards when the then US Walmart exclusive G1 colored MP version came out. A lot were annoyed with the darkened wing joints and wotnot. So takara instead had theirs in silvery light grey and not so much that Screamer looks like hes a burnt toast. I have the Takara version. Its one of the factors I considered when I was buying him coz I had a look at a loose Hasbro version one, didnt really like the "battle damage" Hasbro had going - much like the MP prime they issued with the same random dark paints here and there, totally unnecessary IMO.
Wanted AM partner Vanguard, Myclones Dirge, G1 Victory Leo, e-hobby Dark scream ( the black version), e-hobby Magnificus
Parts- AM partner Basher-side guns, G1 Actionmaster Elite Windmill's blades[I][B]
Added Cybertron Deluxe Unicron (aka Unicron Jnr) today courtesy of an eBay purchase arriving from a few weeks ago.
Still think I'm going to have to get the full size one to do the character any justice though!

From the post office this morning I picked up 6 x Silver Alternity Megatrons, 1 x Encore Bruticus and 2 x Encore Tapes Vol 2.
Took advantage of the TRU Universe Voyager Sale, picked up the following this morning:
Leo Prime
Treadbolt
Blaster
Inferno
Overload
Heavy Load
Sorry for post-whoring, but had the day off so went trolling around for TF toys and also found Universe Onslaught, Superion and Bruticus Maximus at Kmart marked down, so added those guys to today's haul.
I think that will be all my purchases for the foreseeable future (until Sunday's Toy Fair that is)
Here's a pic of all my pickups for today:

ROTF Legends Mudflap & Grindor (thanks to a tip-off from the Stompmeister).
I thought the decals on Grindor were going to be a hawaiin print but it turns out it's just a boring techy sorta pattern.
