I really like the metallic reds on the Primes, and TOMY's logos are outstanding and crap all over Hasbro's as usual. The pink highlights on TOMY's WFC Prime are too pink for me though. And I prefer the darker blues and less yellows on Hasbro's Ultimate Battle Optimus Prime.

TOMY's Drift absolutely looks better, especially from a Japanese perspective as the colours more closely resemble those on the Japanese flag. The white looks more pure, which is more evocative of 'Yamato Damashii' (Japanese spirit), and the more vibrant red looks more "hino maru" - like the Japanese sunrise.

Megatron looks more G1-riffic, but otherwise kinda bland next to Henkei Megatron. But the lack of chrome means less stress about chippage (the chrome on my Henkei Megs chips easy ). United Megatron looks less toylike, but the lack of paint apps on the fusion cannon insignia is disappointing.
