A.W.E. Striker differences?

PatientMental · 03-18-2023, 09:45 AM

Im looking to pick one up so can someone explain the differences if any in the 3 AWE Strikers (vintage/25th/Walmart) versions please?

i only own the Bumblebee one that came out. but the color seems lighter than the original one. but I cant remember what else might be different. and I never had the other 2. but I do have the walmart hisstank and its very nice. so I have a feeling the walmart one might be worth picking up.

The 25th has the mounting point for the TOW/cannon/whatever moved to the rear of the rollcage (it was like this with the ARAHC versions too, IIRC, and may have happened to the mold with the Star Gate version, but I don't know for sure). The Walmart Retro version returned it to the vintage passenger side location. The Bumble-striker has it mounted in that passenger side location too. I'm sure there are slight color variations as well.

Seats are green on the 25th. Retro/walmart is nearly identical to arah/vintage. Footpegs of course (big for arah, small on the other two). Other differences I've seen are too subtle to really notice.

Do the vintage figures fit right in the retro/Walmart version?

On the sideboard footpegs no, but in the seats yes.
