    This just makes me mad. Really? Varients? Don't you already get enough on my money on actual repaints or the multiples of identical awesome toys I buy just "because they were there".

    Transformers is not a toy line I want to see varients from. So in the future hasbro please leave varients to star wars and marvel super heroes. So you can stagnate those brands instead.

    oh lord, i almost choked when i read that, good one deathonacracker

    hmm, is it my imagination, or are the darker ones also packaged at a slightly steeper angle? was staring a it, and just realized that. anyone else agree? or is my medication making me see things (sick-bleghk)

    Yizhi just confirmed there are indeed 2 different colors. He says the darker variant (the one I have) is new.

    It looks like they even darkened the packaging art head too.

    So here's the question.. which one will be more rare and command ******ed prices on the secondary market?

    They couldn't have gotten rid of the red robo-gut while they were at it?

    I don't personally see much difference, so I'll take yizhi's word.

    I was thinking that if it's a "running change", it's somewhat surprising since the lighter gray version hasn't made it to stores yet (or will it ever?).

    Pst ... if this is indeed a variant, it wouldn't be the first Transformers variant.
