Just like how the G1 Black Shadow was a retool of the G1 Pretender Thunderwing. The Generations/TAV Black Shadow is a retool of the Generations/United Thunderwing.

Personally, this is one of those rare moments that the Hasbro version looks better than the Takara. Certain paint elements just seem wrong with the Takara release for me.
