Any pictures of Jet Vehicon and regular Vehicon side by side?

IIRC my Skywarp and Zombie Cliffjumper just say Takara, but I'll have to check later.

I am, however, 100% positive that my Arcee just says Takara on AM and both on RID.

Well I'm looking at them right now and they do in fact have the Hasbro stamp on them.

Man ... it just looks disappointing. I'll order one for the sake of having a Jet Vehicon, but I don't think I'll troop build.

They were both just repaints from pre-existing FE molds, Starscream & CJ. Just because the repaints never made it to the US doesn't mean those molds didn't in some incarnation. If Jet Vehicon and Breakdown only say Tomy, it's a good chance we won't get them over here.

Yes which is kind of my point.

Really I was responding to the claim that ALL AM releases only have Takara Tomy stamps which they clearly do not.

Not bad, but the janky knees (on top of the janky elbows) is a bit disappointing, not to mention the hot pink coloration rather than purple. I suppose AM Skywarp will make a good air commander for the Jeticons and I'll keep my preorders for two of these guys for now.

Glorious! Looking forward to getting mine.

I'll get one to through between my two regular Vehicons, but the robot mode is an ugly kibbly mess.
