I prefer the darker colour of Skywarp, as the white shows off too many seams and joins in the car mode. It's a necessary evil with convertable toys to have those joins, but a clean white colour highlights them as the shadow of the joins shows up a lot more.
I think the dark purple doesn't look 'real' enough to work for me, but it seems that the classic colours of those two characters ends up being their main flaw in vehicle mode. I feel that Thundercracker in a dark 'car' blue would be the best of both worlds - realist car colour, and hides the joins.
Ewwwwww......gross! Looks sorta ok in robot mode but that car is hideous!
I like Starscream, repaint of Waspinator with that head anyone
Found some more japanese reviews/pics with the help of my wife's multi-lingual google searching ability!

Skywarp looks better IMO, SS head is ugly! Waiting for thundercracker, like the new colour scheme.
