Armada
Micron Legend (japanese armada)
Energon
Superlink (japanese energon)
the japanese ML one is purple like in the show, but armada has more green. I've never bought the energon version though. you're best bet to know for sure is to go to http://www.tfu.info/2003/Decepticon/.../tidalwave.htm | |

I didn't think there were any variances between the two of those... 
It can be theorized that the constant knife-edge pressure has gradually gotten to Punch, and that part of him has been lost, possibly irredeemably.

As cool as the ML version is, I think I have always actually preferred the American release. The grey and sea green (combined with the US sea minicon team, rust colored) just has a more nautical feel than purple and black-ish grey.

IMO most ML toys were better than their Armada counterparts. This wasn't as true with Energon/Superlink though.
Time for a change...
