I have memories of a 3P add-on kit that gave the Classics Prime mould a solid piece adapter to hold the wind vane like a shield, but I couldn't find anything on a quick Google. So I had to improvise. Adapt. Overcome 😛
I know it's unfair to compare Ken and Cammy to Ryu and Chun-Li because the latter two had actual game designers work on their Ranger looks while the former two didn't... but still. Standing Jada Ken and Cammy next to their Power Ranger figures really does show how behind Hasbro is on the six...
Dark/Black Rodimus is, admittedly, going to be pricy because he's a limited run exclusive.
There are a few Cyberverse repaints that fit the scheme.

There's also DotM Rodimus. Who isn't a black Hot Rod with the orange and red detailing...
I've always wanted to use the wind vane on this mould as a shield, but you really can't manage it without some finagling, and even then it's not stable.
This is specifically Knight Ginrai though, and because of that it just felt like the shield had to be made to work.
I futzed around with a...
It's very possible that had the toy been made the colours would have shifted for the final production run.
Since the figure was cancelled shortly after the prototype stage, though, that pink and orange colouration became crystallized as the G1 Arcee we never got. Regardless of what may have...
It's not so much an animation deco being inevitable as much as it is a second colour scheme being inevitable.
Optimus has the toy deco and animation deco.
The minibot mould has Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.
The lambo 1.0 mould has Sunstreaker and Cordon.
So it tracks that they'll do two...
The orange kinda has to happen, because that was the original G1 toyline colour scheme layout before it was scuttled. So since the goal is "what we never had" they have to do that
Now that being said, if the rest of this line is any indication we'll probably get an animation accurate option as...
It's from a recent event, just surfaced today. T-Spark Zone 2025

It's also a coloured model, which is a step up from the grey static models the earlier event showed off.
Ginrai got SS '86 Leader Springer's spare sword. I like my Springers to have their swords formed from their rotorblades, so the extra static sword was going unused.
Super Megs is using SS '86 Leader Snarl's sword. I got the Noneff add-on set for Snarl, because I wanted him to have a red sword...
Thing is Ken and Cammy aren't from the games. Ryu and Chun-Li had the benefit of having their looks worked on all through development. Ken and Cammy were basically Hasbro going "ok what else can we milk out of this?"
That goes a long way to explaining why so much of their look feels kinda...
The Last Knight vibes...
Masterforce pals...
...plus Tigertrack
Tigertracks
it's just a really good mould
Yo, listen up here's a story
About a little guy
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just blue
Like him inside and outside
Blue...
