    Not sure, since it's remolded, ad the color scheme is mostly the same, just way, way better implemented.

    I think that Comettor may be the most attractive version of the Landmine mold for me. I'll without a doubt call him Landmine instead of his horrible horrible name.

    RtS Cyclonus edges out Universe, by a tad.

    The orange of the Target-exclusive version really makes The Fallen pop.

    And in the same batch of Target exclusives, the accurate colors (white and gold and blue!) make the Leo Prime something I almost don't regret buying. Not much of a mold though.

    I'm probably the tenth person to mention Scourge/Black Convoy.

    I prefer Generations Red Alert to Universe Sideswipe. He just looks more interesting!

    Similarly, Rapido rather upstages Prowl. Prowl should have been amazing but his paint is gross and weird.

    Only ever owned the G1 colors version of the original movie Starscream, but if you're going to be horribly inaccurate you might as well do it in style.

    RotF Swerve isn't quite more attractive overall than Sideswipe, but his new head is excellent and he fixed the chest peg problem.

    Classics Bumblebee's deco is upstaged for me by his "movie-inspired" later versions. C'mon, yellow-and-black, that's a "Bumblebee!"

    ...all I can think of.

    Here's a few I like the repaint's more :

    The Bone white or blue repaints of Beast Wars TM2 Dinobot's mould, Universe Blastcharge.
    Universe Strika.

    There's lots really mostly Universe items I prefer the repaints of.

    I quite like Super Mach Alert and the other repaint Car Bro's too.

    Nemesis Prime

    A unsaid rule of thumb is a given mold can be taken, painted black, and it looks so much cooler.

    Enter Nemesis Prime.

    Now, while Black Convoy/Scourge isn't the same character as Nemmy, it's certainly one of the coolest of the redecos. As much as I like the G2 Prime, Scourge is just way cooler.

    "Bendy" Armada Prime? Check.
    Alternators Prime? Check.

    I could go on, but I don't need to.

    Anyways, this is just one of my favorite redecos, and I love dopplegangers anyways. :)

    Oh, I forgot Darkwind. He called to me, so much that I got the last one shelfwarming for $25. I didn't buy Silverbolt for half that.
