Oooh, that does look nice.

The Ukrainian fan-colored models strike again:

I think you mean Ladybuuuaaaagh--I mean Lady Cliffjumper. :p

Here's the animation model for comparison:

Energon Optimus was probably the biggest deviation at the time for what Optimus's default form got to look like, being not a primarily red and blue truck but instead a primarily black, white, and silver truck with only some highlights of red and blue (and not even the traditional shade of blue...

Geewunners: "But his altmode doesn't NEED to fly! He can already fly in Robot Mode, remember?!!!" 🤓

I never saw Megatron Megabolt at any KBs near me back in the day. I wouldn't get to experience the mold for the first time until buying one at BotCon 2010. Presently, he sits snuggly on the body of a much more to-scale figure than the G1 Fort Max mold:

Ask and ye shall receive.

New digibash request:

He just drove through a deep puddle and hasn't had time to go to the carwash yet. Give 'em a break.

The green form appears in more than just the last episode of BWII. It's also in a few episodes of Neo and in the Selects manga.

So, according to this, the Masterpiece Movie Series line is getting renamed to Masterpiece Movie Next: The first items of this new line will be, as pictured above, MPMN-01 Sideswipe and MPMN-02 Sideswipe G1 Red.

If Takara were to do their own release of Hound (besides just selling this MTMTE rerelease as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive), it would likely be in one of their own collector-oriented redeco lines like Dramatic Capture Series (in which he would need at least two other figures packed-in along with...

He really shouldn't be so surprised considering how much more expensive Transformers toys (even the normal retail ones) usually are in Japan when compared to the rest of the world.

Which was itself recycled from the original Diaclone package art, as well. Maybe there were plans at one point for Hasbro to keep his sword silver, but then paint costs forced them to switch it to red.

You know, it's actually kinda funny that they went with the silver sword for the toy-accurate deco instead of giving it to the cartoon-accurate deco not just because the original toy had a red sword, but because Grimlock never actually had a sword in the cartoon at all and so the cartoon deco is...

Heh, I'm also one who deliberately skipped out on Cosmos. I just didn't feel the need to get him. I'm not obsessed with recreating the entire lineup of 1984/1985 bit players.

If I'm being honest, Hound has never really ever struck me as being a "main" character outside of like, Episodes 1 and 2 of the G1 cartoon. Sure, he was always around throughout the first two seasons, but more as a side character than a main. A recurring one, but he always had such minor...
