Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

Didn't realise just how many voice actors have worked on both Transformers and Dragonball!

Yamadera Kouchi is the dub of Bumblebee's radio voice (otherwise the sound bytes would make no sense to the audience).

Armada Airazor was a Decepticon .... Only found out when I was transforming the figure yesterday to pack in storage... yet there it was a big embossed decepticon insignia in her innerback.... geez you think you know a figure...

Yeah, the Dreamwave comic has the four Beast Wars Armada toys/characters be soldiers of Unicron (the four horseman of the apocalypse) . You'd have to look up the tfwiki for the full story as it has been about 11 years since I read those comics.
I guess since Hasbro changed the moulding of those 4 Deluxe Transmetal Beast Wars toys to add in the minicon ports, they changed the moulding to add in a sculpted Decepticon symbol.

For those curious, the four Deluxe Transmetal Beast Wars toys were Airazor, Cheetor, Terrorsaur and Rhinox (each with a minicon)... with Voyager Megatron (with two minicons).

Atleast that Armada Transmetal Megatron (Predacon) didnt have the GPS that the Beast Wars version has...

I believe all the above figures were just fillers as Hasbro didnt anticipate how popular the Armada line was going to be and needed extra figures.

Random discovery of the day. There's a packaging variant for legion RiD night ops Bumblebee.
One with his default character art. And one recoloured to match the toy



I'm assuming it's just a variant and not a packaging error
Either way was a random find

[griffin]

Yep, it's a running change that some countries didn't get.
A lot of the RID redecos in different size classes were lazy with the recycled art on the packaging, but eventually had some of them changed to reflect the actual toy in the pack.
