Argos usually have at least 1 wrong TF picture in every new catalogue, so I'm not surprised that they've got the Henkei coloured Silverbolt there.

Then again, it wouldn't be the first time limited run Japanese figures have shown up in the UK.

And waaaay more choice than just 8 Deluxes.

I should know, I poke it to activate the sound effects to reduce the mundanity of my working day often enough.
Also we have four ultra's, not the two it states here. We have Silverbolt, Powerglide, his black repaint and Onslaught.

Correct, for starters the japanese release has the same red for the whole chest including the landing gear, white upper legs and white shoulder armour, aside from that the plastic is overall too dark for the japanese release.Night_Viper wrote:That's clearly NOT the Japanese "USA Edition" color scheme

Samsonator wrote:telltale sign for the jet mode is the missile and landing gear are a lighter shade of red than the button to activate the electronics, on the japanese release they're the same colour. The catalog picture clearly has two distinct shades of red. Also, on the japanese version, the rubbery nosecone of the jet is still gray, despite the jet being white, on the other it's all one colour, this is also true of the catalog pic.
