Episode 18, "Escape Velocity" (w/ Episodes 17, 16, and 15 at the end):

Simultaneously, actually. All little guys were Mini-Cons, but those who had larger masters (like Soundwave) they "deployed" from were also Deployers. This was later changed in the RID2015 toyline to label the larger masters (like Drift, Fracture, Overload, and Crazybolt) as Deployers instead of...

They all must have wanted to be the Matrix's Chosen One.

Funnily enough, early Aligned media (primarily the Exodus novel) tried to declare Soundwave's minions as being Mini-Cons in a seeming attempt to streamline all tiny-sized Transformers under a single classification.

Here's some direct comparisons I made years ago (before D.M went and recreated the official G1 cartoon models, so these used the Ukranian fan colors of the Combaticons instead):

Just finished watching both. They sure did pack a whole lot into these two specials. And yes, Greg Weisman's name is in the credits for the first one.

Heh, a lot of good that did since the team up with Lost Galaxy still firmly planted Lightspeed Rescue in the same universe as everything else from before. And, well, having their zord tech being made entirely from scratch made Miss Fairweather all the more impressive as a tech genius.

Why did you post a picture of John Cena?

Cartoon colors.

Speaking of Blast Off, anyone else notice that he's attached as an arm backwards in comparison to how his original toy and cartoon model were attached as an arm?

Heh, I could do that too with all four of mine. 😁

It might have also been residual mentality from the realistic vehicle mode scales of the live action movies, which the first few Bay-directed films prided themselves on making sure all of the robots with real Earth altmodes were to scale with each other in robot mode based on the relative scales...

I got four of them back when they were on sale at Target.

Looks like Takara couldn't trademark Powerdrive's name as is and so have to call him "Cybertron Powerdrive" instead.
