			: The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find, due to their final-year release well after ''Transformers'' had faded from relevance in Japan, and thus command some hefty prices even with the molds' later re-releases.

Unlike the two prior waves, the entire Team's colors have been ''extensively'' changed, with all-new base plastic colors and new [[Paint operation\|paint applications]] rather than stickers... plus they were sold as Decepticons. Flanker has gone from blue to aqua with gray arms.

			: On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were all-white-plastic, nigh-unpainted "Berserker"-mode [[chase figure]]s with purple Autobot sigils. Even the combiner kibble was cast in white plastic, albeit a little more milky in tone. These toys came in the same boxes with the same instructions as the normal versions.
