>>6081147In my case, the correct toy homage would of given kup a grey helmet at least, if the head were molded in the grey/teal it uses, I would of been 100% fine with the deco choice as I can say "that's kup" from a distance.
For me its not until you look closer, know marvel comics, or just pop him into pickup mode that you know who he is (bare in mind I like to have collections where casual collectors can spot a figure at a glance).
So, think the surprise is the large amount of black plastic is in use
>>6081149Hasbro have been known to do that, like the blurr mold how it had a space for a faction logo but didn't bother (let alone the rest)
As for the vehicle, while ALOT of tr's alt modes have been nailing the whole g1 perfection to a degree perhaps its the design that limits it, maybe more paint apps can fix it, or perhaps only a mp could do him justice.
Still more g1 accurate than the generations figure, its just the base colors of the hasbro version and the cleanness that keep it afloat, until takara announces theirs I've begun searching for a cheap loose generations one.
>>6081152I don't think even takara's would fix that, I was thinking painting half the windshield but where the lights are would not help it, I'm worried they might just not bother painting it on takara's
