I still own a few TF2000/RID toys. I'll add afew tidbits for you if you wnat to know them.

1. Fire Convoy has a small hole in his matrix that RID prime does not have. They use a deeper shade of red on Fire Convoy as well.

2. The autobot brothers all sport the Autobot logo on the alt modes, but the TF2000 versions do not.

3. The TF2000 Car Brother alt modes have more detailing, especially Wildride. They gave him translucent headlights and taillights that are more realistic than X-Brawn.

4. Black Convoy is better than Scourge.

5. Skybite has minor differences than Gelshark...very minor.

5. Upside down G2 logos are on Valdigus, as they should be because they are represented that way in the cartoon or I should say anime. Black Convoy and Valdigus are actually there own fraction called the Combatrons...hecne the upside down G2 logo on them.

6. Valdigus is show accurate, but Ruination looks more like G1 Bruticus.

7. Gigatron is not the same as Megatron is the same as Devil Gigatron...well at least mold wise.
Megatron has the mold change that Devil Giagtron has to form devil elephant. It does not work with Gigatron, but will work with Megatron. Devil Gigatron and Galvatron are pretty much identical.

8. Most of he rail racer team has minor changes than the JRX team from TF2000.

9.Skid-Z and Two Line have different markings than that of there TF2000 counterparts. The build teams are also not quite as identical as thier perspective counterparts either.

I owned both version of each toy. I prefer the TF2000 version of the Car Brothers and Black Convoy. I do haveFire Convoy and God Magnus too.I got rid of the RID versions years ago. I also owned Valdigus and Ruination at the same time. They fetch for a good penny.

Really? I would think I'd prefer the Con insignia over the upside-down Bot logo.

And I prefer the blood red to Black Convoy's pink.

I like Black Convoy more than Scourge as well. I always considered his character to be more of a Rogue Autobot than a straight up Decepticon. I don't know, that's just the way I see it and the upside down Autobot logos suit this characteristic quite well. Just shows total disrespect to his old Autobot allegiance.
