Every time I see that list of names starting with Cromar I start thinking shipping forecast. And almost any region name from the shipping forecast would have been better.
Yes, we should rename the Powerdashers as Fitzroy, Dogger and German Bight!
Week F: What is the best Toy on the 1985 Japan catalogue that's been altered from it's US version?
[url=h
Two toys find themselves changed in Japan in 1985: Megatron loooses his chrome and most of his accesories, swaps his blue for red and gains a sword & the ability to fire bullets
Astrotrain meanwhile gets a colourscheme, probably his intended Diaclone colourscheme, of a Black train and White space shuttle:
The picture on the catalogue doesn't exist as a production version - there's no chromed red legged Megatron without the attachment points to be the best of my knowledge....
Original Japanese Megatron, which is also in VSX: grey plastic, blue inner arms, legs & bullets, no fusion cannon/stock attachment points.
Goodbye Megatron gets the chrome, red inner arms, legs & bullets, and cannon mounting point but is mising the stock mounting point.
Reissue 16-S, TFC-06 & Encore-2: chrome, red inner arms, legs & bullets, and BOTH mounting points
The e-Hobby version of these has black plastic for the chrome and red inner inner arms, legs & bullets,
There's a G1 with Movie version which is effectively Goodbye Megatron: Grey plastic, no chrome, red inner arms, legs & bullets, Fusion Cannon attachment but no stock.

Whoa, it would be fun watching Buzzsaw take on Sunstreaker and Skids in a fight. He could potentially win it if the circumstances were in his favour. I'm guessing that box set is cheaper than the other two, but I'm voting for it because it's an intriguing combination, and probably more special for Japanese collectors at the time if they'd not had those toys before.

Little is known about this goblin beyond its dual role as an offensive weapon and teapot.
The three pack seems unbalanced. And can you imagine being a kid and getting Prime vs Megatron only to find Prime is missing two of his three components!!
