I prefer the Classics version of Ramjet over the Henkei one which has too much chrome (that looks out-of-place) for my liking.
On a personal note, Classics Ramjet is right up there with my top 5 toys released in recent memory.

Just My opinion, but I prefer Hasbro's releases rather then TakTom, I don't like the chrome too much. To me, it looks tacky and out of place. But that is just personal preference.

How about figures such as Sunstreaker, Prowl, Streak and Smokescreen?Originally Posted by 1AZRAEL1

The darker shade of yellow on Sunstreaker does look a bit better, but I can't get passed the tacky look of the chrome. I haven't seen them first hand, but I think I would still have the same view of them if I did.

Sunstreaker's chrome is very well applied and matches that of the original G1 toy nicely. The yellow is also even unlike Universe which has different shades. If you see the Henkei compared to Universe you do see a considerable difference and not just with the chrome but the overall paint job.

The paint apps on Henkei Sunstreaker is a lot better than the Classics one. Henkei Sunstreaker is the only Henkei toy that I have and it was for this reason that I bought it.
Henkei Prowl / Silverstreak / and Smokescreen look so much better with chrome shoulder missiles as well.
The Henkei versions that I don't like are the ones that have chrome when there was none to begin with (on the original G1 toys) e.g. Ramjet. Just because they can, doesn't mean that they should.

The chrome doesn't really bother me but I can see why it does to others. Fortunately most of the toys with 'odd chrome' are the molds that were released as Classics therefore the Hasbro versions are competently painted for the most part so you do get a choice of two reasonably good toy releases.
