Calling Armada Experts: Is Tidal Wave's minicon different than Shockwave's?

Weapon: Twin Sonic Cannons
In this corner, I have Armada Tidal Wave, whom I've had for about a decade:

However I've had this guy since about 2010, which I picked him up cheap because he didn't have his Minicon. Presenting Micron Legends Shockwave.

I've decided to find the Minicon to complete Shockwave, however I cannot find any evidence on what the accompanying Minicon looked like. Anything that pops up on a search appears to be Minicon Ramjet.

So is Ramjet the same Minicon for both figs, or is there a difference?

To my knowledge they both came with the exact same version of Ramjet.
Please note: If you think I may be joking, I probably am.

Thanks guys! This should make it far cheaper to find a replacement.

As long as you're not trying to replace Unicron's minicon. I remember something back in the day about there being some production runs with different coloured eyes on Deadend.

Accidentally.
