No.

Ok thanks, but so the review wrote by philippines here - http://www.cybph.com/archives/312 - is absolutely wrong ? Cause they write about a die-cast chest....bah ^__^ anyway thanks again !

I have the TakaraTomy version. Absolutely no difference. The upper arm is also misassembled like the Hasbro version.

 

The die-cast thing was just an rumor started by some folks over at Seibertron.com who thought that a Jap toy magazine article mentioned die-cast. It now seems they misread that article.

yes it is wrong, that toy is identical in every way to the US release, right down to the rubber smokestacks.

What is the UPPER ARM fault, and is there any fixes online? Isnt there a difference in the paintjob on the foreams?

thanks to all friends, you've been of great help :thumb

Minor problem. The right and left upper arm pieces were swapped. The screw on each arm should face in rather than out. Not very noticeable but easily rectified with a screwdriver.

 

There are no paint differences on the arms or anywhere else AFAIK.
