HasTak have done a reasonably good job in making Legacy Bombshell look like the cartoon model. The biggest deviation is the chest colour being purple in both robot and Insecticon modes; in the cartoon model it's a grey chest in robot mode, but a purple dorsal thorax in Insecticon mode. Obviously this is impossible for a toy to do. The toy also adds silver on the upper arms and fists, as well as black highlights on the waist.

Overall a very nice "poor man's Masterpiece" toy. Definitely recommended.
