Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Sky Shadow]

Hi People. Whats the deal with the g1 ultra magnus with the silver painted face as opposed to the no paint face. (besides the silver paint)
is one rarer than the other?

Ultra Magnus is one of the most variant Transformers ever. Generally the ideal variant combination would be the one with painted-face helmet and painted antenna, painted small head, rubber wheels, 'glass' windscreen, long smokestacks, short missiles, metal toes, chromed legs and gastanks.

Also, my friend has a box of transformer cards ( he's thinking of selling it hopefully) I can't find any pics on the net.
It's stamped 1986
The box is pink, i think
It has 60 card packs in it
They have bubblegum in them too
seems to have a pop up display with optimus standing ,gun in air, in front of a tf symbol.
It's still sealed/wrapped.
Thats all i can remember, I'll try and get a pick of it up soon.
Any idea of the type of cards inside?
what might he expect to get for it?

If the box says Transformers Action Cards, your friend should get a lot for a sealed box. Definitely in the hundreds.
