So I was looking at the APS-03 Human Alliance Soundwave and Barricade set and it seems a little hard to get information on them. There's no Seibertron gallery, nothing in the TF Wiki. I assume they have an improved paint job, but in what way is it improved? Does anyone have both versions for comparison?

I know Megatronus picked these up, maybe he's got some pictures. Don't remember what he'd said about them previously, but I don't think there's a dramatic difference?

Are these the ones you're referring to (mine are the Asian release ones, Darkside Soundwave AD17 and the Soundwave from the two-pack with Barricade found here)?





Those are just photos I had handy. I can try to take better photos if there are specific parts you want to see more closely.

Thanks for the images Jay5, but I was wondering about the difference between the regular version of the Human Alliance Soundwave that was released in Japan and the Asia Premium Series release of him in a two pack with Barricade. Though I do envy you your two Soundwaves!

The one on the right (larger, gray Mercedes) is the Asian Premium Series two-pack Soundwave. See here: transformers-toy-haul-thread-p1702395.php#p1702310

Don't have my first releases in front of me (at the office, where they are not), but at a glance, using jay5's pictures, and after doing some googling, they look completely unchanged from the previous releases.
