Variations
Known
- Magenta, no trademark
- Purple, no trademark
Trademarked versions are unlikely I think, because of the variety of examples not having a trademark, found in both early and esp later packaging.
Note:
Although called Reconnaissance =1= on GA packaging, the toys always carry a sticker marking them as =R2=.
