Asian Convention version Metroplex & Shockwave

[griffin]

An image has been released of the Asian convention exclusive of Metroplex, which differs yet again from the Hasbro version, the TakaraTomy version, and the SDCC version.

Similar to the SDCC version and the TakaraTomy version, this one has chrome parts and two guns.
But this one comes in the SDCC box, and, has the 12 SDCC figurines... although, the figurines in this one are gold and silver - the SDCC ones are red and purple, like the Gen1 Decoys.

There's some chrome to the hips/thigh when you enlarge the picture (not sure if takara/sdcc has the same chrome). Think this is the one i'll be after more so than sdcc.

the sdcc has the chrome as well with the chrome face .... i think it should have more chrome as only them two places look funny ...
So the only thing that different is the colour of the extra figures ..?

here the sdcc pic link..

im just getting the retail one and then probably re-paint him ... if the SDCC one had more chrome then it worth it but 100 difference is abit too much for me ...
I wonder if the Asia one has a coin that come with it??

I don't think Tomy's version has chromed thighs.

Nope, you're dead right dude - The Takara version doesn't have chrome thighs, only the chrome face.

I wonder just how 'available to us' is the Asian exclusive?

Not sure eh, might have to keep our eyes peeled in the direction of RobotKingdom, Chimungmung and the like - Takara's is (Was) available at RK, HLJ, Amiami etc. as far as I know.

Something about the white on the ramps on his legs looks weird on the Takara version. I'm happy with buying the Hasbro version at retail.

BTW, does anyone think the chrome face makes his face a bit busy and hard to see? It may just be the light but I can't seem to make out his face.
