Is there a list of all the figures they've screwed with anywhere?

And this, my friends, is why we all ought to buy the ridiculously high priced Takata re-issues. All of the missile-launching launchers actually launch. That's why I love Soundwave, Smokescreen, Blitzwing, Perceptor, & PM Prime. Gotta love Takara at some point, although I already did since MP Megatron was announced!

And the missiles are beautiful, aren't they? They launch, they go far, what more could a TF collector want?

If i buy a transformer figure i expect it to have working weapons not something that is only for show. Takara gives the buyer what they want while hasbro does not

I actually prefered if the missils didn't launch. I always hated accidently hitting the button and seeing the missile either disappear to where I can't find it or hitting me square in the face. Another thing is I don't know why Hasbro didn't chrome some of the weapons/missiles on some of their reissues like Prowl, Silverstreak(Bluestreak), and Jazz.

Does this mean the blasters should fire real energy blasts, too?
Sorry, I just find it a rather humorous reason to pay 2-5 times as much for an infinitessimally greater enjoyment.

Just out of interest, has anyone noticed that the missiles on Classics Jetfire shoot really far? I thought that was surprising.
