Will's anaylsis above seems to indicate otherwise.

And the butt of the car doesn't bother me. It may not be a complete mirror of the original toy in color, but you can see some of the artist's homages in there. I was mostly referring to the darker color-scheme in robot mode rather than the full color palate comparison.

The problem is that hasbro gave this figure (a highly anticipated figure) a crappy lazy paint job that effectively ruins the figure for a lot of people, especially when it's compared to the Legends version

It's hasbro. News flash they base CHUG color schemes on the original toys and comics. They've been doing it for ten years now all the way back to 2006 when classics started and only rarely would go with a cartoon-like scheme. Get over it already man. Be thankful you have an option with takara and be thankful takara is doing cartoon accuracy with their color schemes. You could be getting what they did with United and animated 4-6 years ago with shiny metallic paint that wasn't accurate or arms micron with 2 paint apps and a sticker sheet.

Take a hint, it's not just me, Kurona and William-James - among many others - have already stated they feel the same way... maybe it's time to just admit hasbro skimped on the figure

It's makes me ashamed sometimes to be part of the fandom with people that do that.
