TRANSFORMERS JAPANESE COLLECTION: SUPER-GOD MASTERFORCE DVD BOX SET
The Long-Awaited Japanese Transformers Series Available in North America for the First Time! Following their victory over the Destrons (a.k.a. Decepticons) at the end of the Headmasters series, the Cybertrons (a.k.a. Autobots) depart Earth, leaving behind only a small group to protect the planet from any future menace. But when the powerful Destrons return to an unsuspecting planet, the Cybertrons must come out of hiding to defend their human friends once again – only this time they’ll be unable to do it on their own! Super-God Masterforce is the unofficial Season 2 of the Japanese Transformers series, with Headmasters acting as Season 1. Packed with value for Trans-Fans, this set features all 42 episodes of the series on 5 DVDs, presented in the original Japanese language with new (and improved!) English subtitles. Also features a Transformers art gallery and other bonus features.

I wouldn't mind that Jazz from the gift set…but all I want from it is the Jazz lol…maybe I can find him solo on ebay later…
Thundershot
At SDCC the green is darker on KO, which definitely helps solidify him as Wasp.
At least on my shelves.
Tman978
The only way I would have bought the dark energon Megs is if they painted his Cannon right but they missed the boat on that. Why, Why do they change certain things like that?
Josh
Yes! Combat hero prime has a red faceplate!
Anyone wanna go in on a set? The only one I want is prime, if someo e wants jazz and the others
UltraPrimal
When these first popped up there was actually promo images of Knockout with clear red instead of clear green.
Although they quickly made the switch to green. Why, I'm not sure. The red looks a lot better IMO. With the green I want to say he's either homaging one of the Spychangers from RiD or a Japanese exclusive repaint of the Skyboom Shield from Armada. That's if they're homaging anything.
WhiteMocha
I can see why people are saying that, but I think it's a stretch. After poking around TFU.info for a while, I came to the conclusion that Knockout isn't really homaging anything in particular. If anything, he looks sort of Constructicon-y. But I think they just went with an "opposite" deco… instead of red, yellow and white, he's green, purple, and black. Someone set me straight, though, if there's a clear homage I'd love to know!
Shockwave9227
Some people are calling the figure Wasp, so I guess that's what it's homaging.
Kouri
Goldbug, Skywarp, Slicer… anyone want to clarify the green Knockout homage for me?
DecepticusPrime
Have we seen a clear pic of these supposed new faction symbols?

damn i really would like to get the DARK ENERGON VOYAGER SET OF 2. It looks pretty sick!
