Transformers Power Core Combiner Huffer Variation?

That's weird. I bought mine in July at a Toys R Us in Austin Texas and it turns out I own the variation.
Looks like the variation has been out there since July.

Got mine (the european version) a couple of moths ago. The bonnet is in same color as the rest of the body.

I just got Huffer a few days ago, and mine is matched on the hood. I live in New Jersey, and the Walmart where I got him still had ROTF Voyager Megatron, Stratosphere, and The Fallen shelfwarming, but they had HFTD Backfire and Oil Pan, so maybe this is a updated version of Huffer just being released now.

A nicer variant would be if it came with a normal gun and didn't have the baby blue connectors.

Just sounds like a running change.

I'd say the same thing. Europe usually gets the later (corrected) variant when they're first released here. Scalpel was an exception, as i have the long antenna variant. Now that I think about it, we had both light/dark variants of certain toys in RotF as well.

Nothing worth buying another for. If they'd changed the entire paint coloring to be closer to G1 Huffer's, THEN I'd drop another $10.

Bought mine at the end of July or beginning of August in central MO and it has the orange hood.

Like others I prefer the orange hood. With it being a clearly separate panel and having a little black trim, it looks like a deliberate aesthetic choice rather than an error in production.

I got mine from TRU when they first came out, and he's orange-hooded.

I wouldn't mind having both, but I'm not spending $10 on him when I've got a Leadfoot to buy and repaint.

If I had had a choice, I would have chosen the one-tone paint job, but the two-tone one never bothered me. Plus, I've got him in bot mode or core mode most of the time anyway.

Which one is more rare and collectible ???

The earlier ones, as they're phased out over time.
