I updated your story to be about the Japanese versions of these figures instead of the U.S. versions. I saved your story so that I can use it for when I launch the U.S. versions later this week. There's a lot of differences between the two sets from Takara and Hasbro.
Thanks for posting this though. I'll give you credit when I post the news story for the Hasbro Dreadwing set.

Maybe Buster and Hydra should have their own entries in the VSD, since they are completely different characters from Dreadwind and Darkwing and are different colors - they have nothing more to go with each other than Bumblebee and Glyph. I can get you translated writeups.

Headmasters toy line still had seperate names for the robot and its partner, which was ignored in the cartoon in favor of the simpler "larger lifeless" body. The name of the larger TF is the name of the smaller robot in that case. The next series Masterforce had that both in toy line and cartoon.
An exception is Doubleclouder (Doubledealer): his actual name is Clouder, for both engines, since in the cartoon he has two suits instead of one.

There are? The only difference I know is toy-wise, the Japanese versions are red where the US versions are teal. Character-wise, I guess they're very different as I've never heard on this Transector thing. All I know is Dreadwind is a gloomy goth and Darkwing is the kind of psycho that likes to hurt kittens.

As I mentioned above, there are some major changes in the works with VSD that will accommodate this scenario for figures like the Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors.
