Notes
- A red and black redeco of Sport Label Megatron appeared on eBay in mid-2007, identified by the auctioneer as Starscream. More pictures followed from a different source a month later, but after that, this strange little redeco quietly vanished, never released, and never even officially acknowledged by TakaraTomy. Was it a knock-off, or an abandoned official product? We may never know.
