R.I.D. Mega/Gigatron

Can someone please tell me if there is a difference between the white one and the purple one (apart from the colour)? Does one have more modes? And how tall is he in robot form?

Weapon: Sniper Rifle
Not quite sure about the height, but I may be able to snag a pic next to Classics Meg or something like that later.

As for modes, they can both technically do the same things. It's just that the instructions for RID Galvatron showed how to form 10, while the instructions for RID Megatron didn't... But they're essentially the same toy. No re-tool or changes that I know of.

Thanks, some kind of comparison pic would be great. I don't have any R.I.D. but I want the purple one cos he looks better!

Basically he{s voyager sized. Other than the color scheme I believe its the exact same figure.

He comes with a double sided Sword.

So here is a pic of Giga/Galvatron next to Movie Ironhide for a height comparison:

Nothing different besides color as far as I know. However, Car Robots Gigatron(the original Japanese release) can't transform into the extra four modes that were added to Devil Gigatron's(a.k.a. Rid Galvatron) mold(boat, griffin, single headed dragon, mammoth), but since Rid Megatron is a repaint of Devil Gigatron, he can transform into those modes.

Correct on all points.

As long as you plan on getting the Hasbro release of the purple figure then theres no difference.

The only thing is that your going to need the instructions to the white one if you want to try all the transformations.

Officaly RID Meg's could only change into 6 modes so the instructions only detail 6 transformations.....but the toy can transform into the 4 addianal modes that RID Galvatron can.

The original Gigatron mold was re-tooled for extra modes and repainted and called Devil Gigatron.

But Hasbro didnt use the original Gigatron mold for their RID Megatron figure.

They used the re-tooled Devil Gigatron mold and painted it ti match the original paint sceme of Gigatron.
