Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Agreed.
IMO these United versions look terrible. Patchwork metallic-painted parts combined with exposed grey plastic do not look good. I think I'm just not a fan of metallic paint except in certain applications, such as for silver or gold parts. Otherwise, all or nothing. It looks really bad having a big metallic area broken up by bare unpainted plastic.
The only things I like are the fender details on Perceptor and the yellow flames on Wreck-Gar. Otherwise, Hasbro superior, Takara inferior. Hasbro's Perceptor looks far better with the chrome, and I actually like the yellow windows, and I like the shades of red & orange used for Wreck-gar much more.
I'm pretty glad the only United figure I've had to pick up so far is Jazz. Maybe Tracks.

Just remove the rub sticker and replace a Reprolable's small size Autobot insignia, if you have a spare. Which I did and it's far better.
