I don't think the colors between the two Skywarps will match up. Takara's is painted and Hasbro's is dyed plastic, right? I just left my Takara Skywarp without the stripes. I mean, Starscream's teal, why can't Skywarp be solid black?
I can see it now... Masterpiece Blue Ramjet, Botcon exclusive.
As far as I can tell, Takara's SW and TC are just finished/polished plastic. This is pretty obvious for TC... take a look at any parts that wouldn't be finished (like if you pop off the panel on the inside of the tailwing kibble) you can see the sparkles, but the plastic is dull. My SW is bare at the moment, and I think it looks pretty damn good... but I'd love to have those signature stripes, as well as the d-con logo. I've been keeping my eye out for a decal set (waterslide, so it doesn't hide the mold lines and such) but thought there might be a chance that a wing-swap with the Walmart version would look ok.
As far as Greenscream goes, I boycotted that fugly thing. Saw the protos, fell in love, placed a preorder... saw the final colors, balked, and cancelled. Thankfully Hasbro came through with the G1-colored Walmart version.
I just need some airshow stripes for SW and TC... and some Dust-off.

Usually. But some sweet results can be had with just plastic and a little workmanship.

My refund goes to car insurance. Joy. That's the crappy thing with exclusives... you never know which ones are going to stick around, and which ones are going to disappear.
