Variant/error check: Robots in Disguise Legion Class Groundbuster's instructions

While updating TFWiki, I came across a note regarding RID 2015 Groundbuster's instructions, and found this:
Butter1r.jpg


The name is spelled "Groundbutter", with a double "t", in the instructions. Also, it's lacking the "Decepticon" prefix from the packaging.

I'm currently trying to find out how widespread this error is, or rather, whether it affects the entire production run (i.e. is there a correct version of the instructions at all?).

Therefore, I'm calling out for all owners of Legion Class Groundbuster to verify how the figure's name is spelled in the instructions of your copy.

However, in order for this to be as organized as possible, I'd like to make a distinction between four versions: US/worldwide packaging versus European packaging, and green ("Mini-Con Weaponizers") packaging versus red ("Combiner Force") packaging.

If your packaging says "Age Edad Idade 6+", it's US/worldwide; if it simply says "6+", it's European.

Even if you don't own the packaging anymore, it should be possible to tell which version of the instructions you own, since the age recommendation is repeated on the instruction sheet. Also, the "Combiner Force" instructions have a different color and feature the "Combiner Force" logo.

All right, I did manage to find a photo of Groundbuster's instructions with a correctly spelled name.

This is the US/worldwide "Mini-Con Weaponizers" version. With TFW2005 member Gingerchris being a UK resident, as well as the lack of a trademark ™ behind the name, I assume his copy is a European instruction sheet?

EDIT: Here's Combiner Force Groundbuster's US/worldwide instruction sheet. Also "Groundbuster", no "butter".

EDIT 2: Here is another "Groundbutter"... and it's the European version again.

EDIT 3: Another US/worldwide original release with "Groundbuster".
