    Good work! You're also missing the RtS Starscream "white head" variant, though that's really more of a lack of paint aps.

    Yeah I was never able to track that one down? I assumed it was from the leaked factory samples only because Gold Bee's RTS deco changed between sample and retail as well if I remember correctly.

    "Gotta Catch 'Em All."

    I never really realized just how many times they've re-released/painted this mold in NA.

    No, it definately made it to retail. There was one revision case that had one starscream and he had a white head. I had one till I sold it on eBay recently (for $1 plus shipping, unfortunately). I saw at least 5 at a 5 below (they had probly 10 cases, and 15-20 regular ones).

    What's the difference between the early 2012 OP and the late 2012 OP aside from the sword?

    Thanks!

    I found these guys at a Big Lots in Georgia last week. I think it was the black logo Bumblebee.

    There should also be "early 2014" versions of Optimus Prime and Starscream which are basically the "late 2012" versions without the weapons.

    Also, "unpainted head" RTS Starscream is definitely real:

    Thank you so much for these comparison shots. Is there a difference between the TRU exclusive and the early 2014 ? I can't really see the autobot logos clear enough to see a difference.

    Don't forget these all got some sort of release via the EZ series in Japan too - and some of those they are crazy for reissuing Like Optimus and Prowl.
    The Japanese G2 Optimus is quite nice.

    thanks. There's simply too many of them with very minor changes.

    For OP:

    EZ Transformers Chronicle Vol. 1 G1 Optimus Prime
    EZ Transformers Chronicle Vol. 2 G2 Optimus Prime
    EZ Transformers Chronicle Vol. 2 G2 Optimus Prime - Metallic color
    Transformers Go EG01 Optimus Prime
    Transformers EZ Collection 30th Anniversary Convoy Clear Version

    did I miss anything?
