The new Takara version with cartoon colours has the burn marks around the thrusters. I prefer this one out of them all but figuring I can just get the Hasbro one and do the weathering myself and save costs.

So beside paint schemes is there any difference? Does the Hasbro one have more plastic than die-cast as with the Binaltechs/Alternators?
If there is no diff I might as well go with the Hasbro versions and save myself a bit of $$!
