Energon or Super Link Terrorcons

[Scrapper6]

Just out of curiosity what kind of differences would there be paint app wise between the two different releases for the series? I mean would they stand out if say you were to have one of each type from both Energon and Super Link? Or what?

I'm thinking I'll get five American/Canadian versions of each Terrorcon type except for the commanders and five of each version of the Japanese versions for each Terrorcon type except Forest Type Chrome Horn, Cosmos Type Shadow Hawk and possibly Magma Type Dinobot, because I intend to make FT Chrome Horn and CT Shadow Hawk the leaders of the respective factions of those two since Hasbro foolishly never gave us repaints of Divebomb and Insecticon to use as Terrorcon Generals. I'm surprised the scout class Movie figures didn't get them dumped in considering they used every Omni-Con mold twice except Signal Flare. Of course Terrorcons don't fit in with the Realisim of the line so, yeah.

First of all, there are many more Super-Link Terrorcon redecos than there are in Energon.

As far as paint aps go, I think there's enough difference to warrant getting both, but there's a catch.

To the untrained eye they'll look the same unless they're directly next to each other.


I'd suggest looking through some galleries at the Hasbro and Takara releases before making your decision.

Also, if you want to complete the Energon/Super-Link Terrorcons, you'll have to get Megatron. I mean, his deco matches the other Terrorcons, and his alt mode is somewhat based on a bird (yes, look at the nose-cone) so it fits the whole animal theme of the other Terrorcons.

I've got Galvatron General, but when I get the Powerlinx Optimus Prime Vs. Megatron Energon two pack I'll have Megatron too so no worries. One from Energon one from Super Link and I didn't have to buy the oversized looking piece of junk Leader version.
