Diaclone J59 Jeep:
An interesting piece. In the pre-tf version, the diecast back end had a hole in the back where the back-mounted gun fit into. This hole in the diecast(and the corresponding plastic peg on the gunmount) was noticeably smaller in the japanese and intial italian pre-tf versions. In the Hasbro version, this hole was enlarged. We are still looking for a Hasbro version with the small diaclone hole; some theorise it exists, but like the Powered Convoy head, it may have been changed prior to its american debut. For more information on later-issue Hound mold-changes, visit the autobot section of the site.
Here's some pics of the japanese version:
And of-course the italian diaclone version:
