I thought this was somewhat worth noting and I didn't see it anywhere when I searched. My friend and I have gotten 4 Electro figures. Both of us have pulled 1 each of a change to the missile.
The first ones we got (at Wal*Mart before Christmas) had clear yellow missiles. The second ones we got (at Target after Christmas) both have the usual solid red missiles.
There is no significance as far as how effective it is in a game. I just thought it was worth noting.
Has anyone found any other variations on booster figures?

I have one Electro with yellow missile and two without. Also, strangely enough, the yellow missile variety came from Wal-Mart before Christmas and the red variety came from Target, you guessed it, after Christmas.
As far as other variations go, I have yet to find any but I haven't really looked hard at my doubles. One of my brother's Magneto has a bit more "lean" in him but that's just a slight difference in plastic, not an actual variation.

Well I also have gotten 3 Electro's 2 black base and 1 chrome all from target after Christmas and all have red missile's. My wal-mart just got boosters the other day so I will have to see if I get one with a yellow one from there.

I was hoping the red missiles were the EARLY ones (since they were in the first boosters we opened) but it may be they are not making any more clear yellow.
So sad :.(

My two are both Yellow, boosters are just now getting into Utah stores, so I can't say whether these were first or second versions of him. I definatly like the translucent missle better than a red one.

I only have one Electro and he has a yellow bullet. I got him in a pack I bought from Wal-mart a few days after christmas. A yellow bullet is the optimal choice for the character's theme, but knowing Hasbro, they are too cheap to stick with the more expensive translucent bullet. I am sure it is much cheaper to pack Electro with a red bullet, especially since they have already produced numerous red bullets. On a similar note, why doesn't Pyro have a fire tipped bullet? Too expensive, even though it would be the ideal thing to do.

So sad :.( I have only pulled the red ones, but all of mine were from Target after Christmas. I am still hopeful that they maybe just ran out and will go back to the clear yellow. Why would they have ever used the clear yellow if it was for cost reasons. I am hopeful it is temporary and that they just ran out. I need to find at least one of the clear yellows to put away.
