variants

hasbro has made a running change

the dark breakaway and sideways are now being released by hasbro anyone in perth can find the darker versions please lettuce know!

Paulbot and I thought those two were different colours between the first wave (in an LA Target) to the second wave cases that were at the Convention. The first release of Sideways looked almost as silver as Sideswipe, while the later colour is a lot darker grey. The Breakaway jet appears to have a similar darkening in the later release.
A bit odd that Hasbro decided to change the colour AFTER they already produced the first assortment.
Okay, it's just crazy...

Only got the dark Sideways in New Zealand from the cases I have seen so far. Looks very nice.

Not sure on Breakaway..

I took a photo tonight of the two different Breakaways at Kmart. Even the robot head art on the front of the packaging was slightly different in colouring.

Still looking to find the two Sideways toys in the one store...

I wonder what made them think 'Hmm, you know what it needs? More brown!'. Oh well, at least Gears of War fans will be pleased...
