^No...or at least I didn't hear any when I was transforming him...

Bunch of Beast Wars stuff arrived in the mail:

Im guessing these are robot heroes, but they look much better than the ones availiable now so i dont know where they came from.

They're not Robot Heroes. I'm not sure what they are.

They look very similar to the super deformed chibi figures that many lines of figures have (DBZ, Gundam, Ranma1/2, bleach etc)

They look snazzy, better poses than the Robot heroes too.

I believe the ones in the second photo are rotocasts. The ones in the first photo look solid though.

Try inserting his key or swinging his sword arm. If there's no sound, see if he has a battery cover you can open and then see if there are batteries installed. It's possible that the South Korean version you have ditched the electronics like the US one did.

^I did as you said...and there is no sound...

Erm.... the US version does have electronic sounds....

Does it? I only bought the Takara version, so I didn't know. I knew the US version was crippled in some way, so I assumed it was the electronics, but I guess I might have been thinking about the floppy sword and wing plastic.

I have both.

The only differences are in the paint jobs and Hasbro's VP wings being more rubbery.

Personally, I think that Hasbro's Vector Prime is rather good - It's not show accurate but it does have a nice paint job overall.

As Kup mentioned, it's just the paint apps and the plastic used on certain parts... all the electronics remain on both versions of Hasbro's Cybertron/Galaxy Force releases of VP (the gold and the white one).

The only ones that were 'crippled' were the latest Universe redeco (brown/black) version of VP and Botcon Alpha Trion - they both had their electronic gimmicks removed.
