I very much appreciate the attention paid to the deco. I don't often hate on Hasbro's decos but their Strongarm releases were always pretty trash. Strongarm figures were some of Takara's actual major wins over Hasbro in the deco department. Not every Takara deco was better like some people like to make out but I did get all the Takara Strongarm figures. Or rather, the legion, the Minicon battle pack and the warrior figures.

I managed to find the Takara warrior Strong Arm at a local comic shop in box for $15 about a year ago. The shell was super yellowed, thus the price. Like you said, the deco is soo much better than the Hasbro version. I really like this Legacy version though. The addition of a nose makes her feel more in-universe to the Legacy style.
