The most important one is that the Takara release has a molding defect that gives her lopsided eyes, a defect that the Hasbro release fixes. There are several small [[paint operation]] changes between the two; the Hasbro version loses the silver on the boat mode torpedo racks, makes her silver upper chest armor a single application (the Takara version splits this in half, leaving her collar unpainted), and adds brighter lavender to the circular details on her chest and boat-mode. And of course, the Hasbro version adds a [[Cyber Key Codes\|Cyber Key Code]] to the back of her Cyber Key.		: There are several small but significant differences between the [[TakaraTomy\|Takara]] ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)#Takara Galaxy Force toyline\|Galaxy Force]]'' "Chromia" and the [[Hasbro]] ''Cybertron'' "Thunderblast" versions of the toy.
