UK yellow Constructicons

[Tripredacus]

After noticing the TFW2005 1993 article mentions the non-combining Constructicons, I needed to verify the information. And it appears that the wrong year is used for them on Shmax:

According to my records, these were released in 1991 and not 1992.

What is the concensus on this?

Originally, I had 1991 as the year of release  for the Constructicons (from Rob Jung's list that he maintained back in the day) when I kept track of my stuff in the old days.

It does seem that 1992 is the date that most sites are going with now.  TFwiki also seems to back this up, as does the TFW2005 article.

I do know that some of the release dates used on Jung's (I think that was his name) list for some items have been found to be inaccurate for some things (European Beast Wars), so perhaps this 1992 date for the Constructicons is something that has been verified in recent years.

Yes I can see it is difficult to really know for sure without having distribution lists like that old Diaclone one. As an aside, this other Scrapper I recall was a December 1992:

My resource in "the old days" was those text files that Steve-O Stonebreaker had made.
