Hey all,

So I recently acquired a Dranzer MS and I read on the Wiki that earlier versions of the TT version had a more fragile AR and later releases of the product had this 'fixed'.

Is there any way I can determine if the Dranzer MS I bought is the new version or the old version? Mine is blue, btw.

Sup,

Is it brand new in the box or preowned?
If its brand new then i cant really tell you then,
If preowned, then its the tips of the heads you should be looking at to see if its reinforced or not.

Heres some pics of my reinforced hasbro version

I know its the hasbro version being compared but when hasbro released their dranzer they released the one version with the reinforced AR which TT fixed.

For a direct comparison, heres a video comparing a hasbro and TT sonokong versions.

Notice how on the tt sonokong ver. the head is kinda thin, while the hasbro looks alittle thicker.

Theres also some Takara black dranzer ms videos out there showing that that version is the also a reinforced version.

Hope this helps!

That helps yeah, I think I have the older version then. I cannot see a protrusion like on your picture.
