Two-tone plastic colors (grey and green); removable energy blast effect (on some variations, though usually fixed) and mechanical sci-fi detailing.
Notable Variations
There are minor color shade variations in the grey and green plastic depending on whether it was produced in 1991 or 1992, and minor mold differences depending on the factory of origin (China vs Macau).
