- Color Scheme:
- The main difference between this toy and the original BM Scavenger toy is the color scheme. In this case, the entire toy has been repainted into an awesome purple and green scheme very similar to the original purple and green of the Generation 1 Scavenger from the Devastator gestalt/combiner team. Fortunately, IMHO, these colors are more subdued than the originals. While I love G1 as much as the next guy, the bright green and purple of the original toy could be a real eyesore. Not so for this guy. Some orange from the original plastic can be seen because the joints were not painted. Other accents were painted, though, such as the orange claw tips were painted gray.
- Gimmicks:
- Not gimmicks so much as cool changes and additions. The coolest one is that the Vehicon spark crystal has been changed to a Decepticon crystal! COOL! The other cool addition is the faux rub sign. This looks so real, I was trying to get it to show up until I was told that it was non-functional. It looks JUST like the real thing, though. ;-)
