No, the black is more G1 accurate. Remember that the G1 toy came before the cartoon. The amber head may be more G1 cartoon-like (or 'cartoon accurate'), but remember that the cartoon is based on the toys and the toys came first. Also, Grapple had a black head in the comics too. If you prefer show likeness, then yeah sure, go for the TOMY version. But technically the black head is G1 toy and comic accurate.
