    I was thinking the same thing. Looking at images of G1 Chromia Toon, I don't see Lilac at all.... It looks more like Hasbro did Toon to me in this case.

    Who cares?

    Whatever looks the best is good for me.

    And pre-ordered all three from BBTS.

    Scratch that... Robot Kingdom was cheaper. :cool:

    The same places Takara put their lavender paint apps... chalk it up to poor '80s animation, again:

    Hasbro's is IDW accurate (mostly):

    *shrug* She always looked a shade of grey or cartoon silver in those areas to me. But whatev.

    But...if it was poor 80s animation, then how did anybody know those areas were supposed to be lilac/lavender? :p

    I definitely prefer the IDW accurate colour scheme over the cartoon.

    Yeah now that you mention it Windblade's head kind of looks creepy.

    Takara's Arcee is just beautiful...preordered. I'll just slap a wrecker symbol on Hasbro's version and call it a day...:) 

    I've never wanted a pink toy this bad since ever...well since '86...lol

    What do you mean? I meant poor animation as in the colors kept changing, but she was still fairly noticeably lavander in some shots... Takara probably went with that to differentiate it from Hasbro's and the IDW comic (since they're not a fan), and to make it more "slavishly" G1. Because when you see the lavander you know without any uncertainty it's G1 Chromia instead of any other iteration... at least that's what they want us to think, I assume.
