    So yea, I was just reading over some reviews for him out of boredom, and I notice that a few mention that he only comes with 5 discs, some say 7. Mine happened to come with 7. Why the differenece in # of discs? Even with 7, the space left can fit another or 2 discs, 5 would make it look practically empty:p .

    I'm pretty sure Universe DC came with 5. I don't have mine out at the moment to check.

    Mine is wrapped in newspaper buried in a box, so I can't see how many he has at the moment.

    i'm not sure how many mine came with, but mine was a german release i picked up at the Venetian, in Vegas back in '01.

    I'd say thet he either had a random amount of discs, depending on when it was released, or maybe what country or version he is?

    mm, one of the strange differences in BW releases
    like European Spittor is a Maximal, and European Rampage uses different screws to attach the crablegs (you cannot open those screws, but you can for the US release)

    Did that European Rampage have the screws with the triangular hole in the top?

    The Japanese Depth Charge I had (which also had his name stamped on, not Cybertron) included a large number of discs, probably seven, though I want to say eight. Just don't quote me on that, but it probably was seven, as I remember wondering why other people had fewer with theirs, and his chest was mainly full when all the discs were loaded.

    A review of the U version mentioned that the discs were thicker, therefore one less was included. So thats either 6 discs, or 4 discs, depending on which version the writer was referring to:sly:

    I do believe my BW version came with 5, unless I somehow lost 1 or 2 over the years...

    triangular hole screws are generally used on McDonalds toys/TFs

    So is it true that BW Depthcharge supposed to come with 7 discs and Universe Depthcharge comes with 5 since their supposedly thicker?

    My BW came w 7, but never got to opening U Depthcharge.
