hi there.. first post.. hope im actually putting this in the right place..

i was curious about my cybertron ransack's planet key, something just seems, odd about it..

ill try not to prattle too much, but..

its a speed planet key, yeah, makes sense..
and the code on the back checks out... but the only silver paint on it, is the speed planet symbol in the middle..

the excellion ive got, and the ransack GTS i got for a friend last christmas,.. the key's have silver paint round the edge on the detail (gauges, dials, that bit)

does anyone know much about this? ive looked online for galleries of ransack and i think tfu.info's had the same key as mine... but the rest ive seen had one like excellions...

thanks for putting up with that if youve read this far.. hopefully someone can stop this bugging me so much

Welcome to Seibertron. Please make yourself at home and have fun. Beware of the nuts

And indeed, some first wave Cybertron toys had the borders of the keys unpainted by mistake. The toys in question are:

- Ransack
- Vector Prime
- Optimus Prime

The Japanese versions had the borders painted, no mistakes there.

ahhh... i wasnt sure, ive got cybertron optimus and, as you said, his planet key is infact unpainted (as opposed to his box art)..

dont know about vector prime, ive got the galaxy force repaint, his keys painted.

but many thanks for your help and hospitality
