TFU doesn't let you hot link. Its best if you give us the pic URLs as most of us can't see the pics unless we have them already in our cache.

Does anyone know whether there are any major differences between G2 Megatron (large green tank) and the Japanese BW Megastorm version? Things like decals, sound effects, accessories etc... ?

[GoktimusPrime]

+ Mould: identical except for copyright stampage. G2 Megatron is made in Indonesia whereas Megastorm is made in the Republic of China (Taiwan).

+ Stickers: The sticker on the mid-barrel which reads "Eat This Autobots!" on the right and "Big Stick" on the left reads "Big Stick" on the right and "Peace Through Tyranny" on the left. The bicep stickers which has the G2 Decepticon insignia and "81766" on Megatron instead has the Predacon insignia and the word "Destron." All other stickers on Megatron are absent on Megastorm. The "M" sticker on Megatron's solar plexes with the sticker indent has been replaced with a Predacon rub sign. Megastorm has a green sticker covering the battery compartment.

+ Sound: Megastorm has no sound gimmick.

+ Colours: Megastorm's green is nearly the same as Megatron's, but not quite as bright - more of a "grass green." The camouflage pattern ('spots') on Megatron are purple but on Megastorm they are brown. The tank wheels and caterpillar treads on Megatron are dark green but on Megastorm they're a grayish black. Megatron's "eyebrows" are coloured black but the rest of the face is purple. The upper part of Megastorm's face is coloured black - with the tip of the nose and lower part of the face being purple.

+ Accessories: same. Megastorm's missiles and gun are a more grayish shade of black like his wheels/treads whereas Megatron's are straight black.

I can help alittle with this 1

#For toys that combine into a character (e.g Superlink Superion Maximus , does the new character get an individual tech spec?)

For G1 they do, ie stunticons/Menasor gets a tech spec of his own.

[GoktimusPrime]

Differences vary between toys - a lot of them are cosmetic paint differences, but some figures are the same. Depends on which toy you're talking about. The early Armada toys suffered from lazy paint apps on the faction symbols, something which Micron Legend never had.

#do the Hasbro Street action mini-con team come with indidivual tech spec cards?

Hasbro's Armada toys don't have tech spec cards. Their tech specs are printed on the back of the package and they come with stickers.

#Does the takara Street action mini-con version come with tech spec cards , are there any paint app. changes?

They come with a tech specs card - one card for the team. The regular version doesn't have any cosmetic changes afaik but there are some limited exclusive repaints such as the CD exclusive animé colour version (has show-like colours) and X-Dimension version.

#What toys came with human companion figures ?!!!?

There were no human figures in Armada/Micron Legend, only in Energon/Super Link.
The standard version of Takara's Kicker was sold individually and there's a chrome anniversary edition that was sold with Anniversary SL Grand Convoy (also chromed).
Hasbro's Kicker (which is vastly inferior to Takara's IMO) came with Highwire.

#For toys that combine into a character (e.g Superlink Superion Maximus , does the new character get an individual tech spec?)

There's one tech specs for the actual gestalt robot, not for the individual members.

#For toys that combine into a character (e.g Superlink Superion Maximus , does the new character get an individual tech spec?)

For G1 they do, ie stunticons/Menasor gets a tech spec of his own.

I thought the question was about Super Link rather than G1. *shrug*

Is there such a thing as French exclusive G1/G2 constructions? with unique paint apps or something?? or did i just dream about it, along with amy winehouse

[jacksplatt11]

...did i just dream about it, along with amy winehouse

So, you had a nightmare?

[dirge]

Is there such a thing as French exclusive G1/G2 constructions?

Yes. There are similar to the "European" Constructicons (that you love so much), although the grey elements were yellow and they _can_ combine
