To go with the various posted lists above, here's a pic...



Back - JP Thundercracker, first JP Starscream, JP Skywarp
Next - Hasbro Thundercracker*, Hasbro Skywarp
Next - Hasbro Acidstorm*, JP Sunstorm*
Front - Hasbro Starscream, JP Ghost Starscream, second JP Starscream*

(as noted in the posts above, the ones with * are the second version, which had some minor changes to the mould & transformation)

Thanks for the help guys.. also found this to clear up my confusion as well (from the wiki link lancalot linked)

Notes

Like many e-HOBBY exclusives, Tigertrack's coloration is based on a pre-Transformers Diaclone variation of the mold.

According to early Transformers media and his bio, Sunstreaker (originally called Spin-Out) should look like Tigertrack. This is presumably owing to confusion between the Diaclone colors and the switched final coloring of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.

This is also the source of Tigertrack's "Electron Pulse Gun" weapon, as that was to be Spin-Out's signature weapon.

This is a great site for all things Diaclone:
http://www.diaclone.net (although the site is in Japanese, it does have lots of interesting photos of various Diaclone toys )
And for anyone interested in Microman I'd recommend this:
http://microforever.com/ (the dude who runs this site's a Kiwi, so it's in English )

Has anyone ever ordered from Hasbro Toy Shop? Thoughts?

Yes. Just be sure you get someone reliable or a cheap shipping agent to order for you... as you can't even place an order with HTS to post to an American address if you don't have a Credit Card that has an American Billing Address.

PriceUSA is a good one, with lots of communication, but can be difficult to order big amounts with, as they seem to prefer to do small items.

Eep. Anyone know of any decent online sources for Generations Rhinox, Skids and Waspinator? (other than eBay of course)
