As far as I know, this figure was never released in Japan under the Galaxy Force name. At least not as the supreme size. Is this true? It was proposed I believe, and was maybe going to be released as the USA Edition or something, but it never happened right?
I realize GD-03 was the voyager starscream that we never got, but in turn did Japan ever get a Supremem Starscream? If they did, can someone provide pics?
Please say yes...

You are correct. His color was extremely dark red if I remember correctly.

Are there any documented differences between the two? I would assume they are identical other than packaging, much like Primus was.

Wouldnt surprise me if they just stuck stickers with the relivent information on the packaging like hasbro does with the SWTFs in the UK (we get a sitcker about Hasbro UK over the hasbro US details).
diablien wrote:So let me pose a question:
Does being released as a USA edition in Japan constitute a new release if the figure is identical, packaging-wise and figure-wise, to the USA Cybertron release?
And who is the manufacturer at that point? Hasbro or Takara?
Keep in mind Hasbro probably manufactured the piece, but Takara released it...

As he was a remold, you can be sure Takara did him first (and Im pretty sure I've seen the Takara version available online). With the last line I dont think any remolding (of new or existing figs) was done by Hasbro, only Takara (which then by n large went on to be sold by Hasbro too, Hasbro's Armada repaints I beleive went on to be USA Editions in Japan).

Actually there was no Galaxy Force release of Arm Bullet (Dark Crumplezone) released in Japan. The mold was released only in the Cybertron line.

I stand corrected. Is that cuase of his relativly late in the day apearence in the show? (Much like what happened with some of the Giant tfs)?
