It's a show that exists because someone really wanted to make it. TV standards were really stupidly strict for whatever reason, ensuring it couldn't possibly be done properly. But someone really wanted to make it. Hanna-Barbera had no budget. But someone really wanted to make it. TOHO had a stupid bits-and-pieces model of licensing at the time, so Godzilla cost money, but his roar cost extra, and his rogues gallery cost extra, and Hanna-Barbera was like "Do you know who we are?" and did not pay extra. But someone still really wanted to make the show. I respect that.

Ted "Lurch" Cassidy-voiced Godzilla is a thing that I'm glad exists.

He also voiced Lou Ferrigno's Hulk.

Got some mild but noticeable AI blurring going on in Cybertread's altmode pic, there.

I'm not normally into clear bots, but that little bit of paint makes all the difference for me. Those are neat.

Still wishing Cybertread had a slightly lighter or greener blue, but both are looking better against a white backdrop.

The white line detailing works out better on Cybertronic. The execution on Cybertread gives him shoulders that look like Super Mario blocks, and an altmode that looks like an in-progress game of Tetris.

Funny Optimus gets the Autobot mold, and Megatron gets the... other Autobot mold.

You'd think they'd use Brunt for the Decepticons.

Guess they wanted to go for that classic "land vs. air" motif.

They also might have just not wanted to have 3 tanks in a 4-bot capsule.

 

[LordGigaIce]

Also Sixgun's head is vaguely Decepticon insignia shaped as is, and doing it up in translucent plastic with that highlighting really emphasizes that aspect of his design.

 

[Sabrblade]

And it allows Metroplex's two little buddies to fight it out with each other.

 

[unluckiness]

They wanted a plane made of grape candy and purple happened to be the designated bad guy color

My thoughts exactly.

Brunt in clear purple would be a pretty lateral move from Brunt in regular purple. He could get the blue and Slammer could get the purple, but that doesn't solve the "the Decepticons didn't get the Decepticon mold" situation.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Fasttrack in clear purple could've been cool.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

I would have liked Slammer to be a Decepticon, as a clear purple tank weaponiser got Megs would be "on-brand" for him. Optimus using a "flight/jet pack" with Sixgun would be appropriate too, perhaps.
