mech9T8 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 What are the differences between these two? I'm not talking about the box, accesories or price. The toy itself, is it basically the same? Same amount of plastic and metal? Same quality? Please let me know. Thanks.
CF18 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 See http://tfkenkon.com/collection/part4/act79/zero_convoy20.jpg Only the US version have short smoke stack. I don't know any other details about the re-issues.
Sebastian Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Same quality, same diecast, same plastic. The only diferences are the price, smoke stack and "weathering". If you are not a TF collector, get the USA version.
estacado06479 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 the only things i have heard are slightly more cartoony paint the the hasbro and short stacks. from reading here. the joints and quality are pretty much on par from what i understand.
Myriad Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Huh? I think he is talking about the TRU reissue that came out a while back. Different packaging, short stacks, no spring loaded weapons or spring loaded Roller launcher.
Godzilla Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 If you are not a TF collector, get the USA version.
usagiz Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 The other difference is that the USA version has a black gun, the japan version has a grey gun....
mech9T8 Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Hey guys, thanks for the quick replies. I didn't mean the 20th Anniversary Prime...I have that already. I meant the G1 reissue but I think Myriad covered it. So material and quality are the same right?
NSJ23 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 The other difference is that the USA version has a black gun, the japan version has a grey gun.... HuH, ok, you guys are confusing things. For G1 Reissue Prime the only difference is the smoke stacks and the lack of spring loaded trailer.

Radd Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Seriously, if you want a G1 Prime reissue, you want the New Years Convoy. http://www.bwtf.com/tfg1/toys/reviews/nyconvoy/ Differences are that the colours are based on the tv show (blue eyes instead of gold eyes, and blue tinted windows), non-castrated smoke stacks, plus it comes with an Action Master Convoy figure, and it comes with the Matrix of Leadership. Of course, if you want something closer to the original toy as it was originally released, get Takara's version, for the reasons other people have come up with. However, if you really don't care, and just want a G1 Prime for nostalgia's sake, then a Hasbro Prime is not bad at all. The missles are longer, and the smokestacks are shorter, but that's really about it. Saves you a lot of money over getting an import, especially the New Year Convoys that are pretty rare by now.
