>>7928356>Takara: How can we use these alternate toolings that Hasbro made for without remolding anything? What about the most bizarre set of homages possible so long as it looks like the character!And so we got things like G1 Megatron and Brawn out of the GDO tooling of RotF Bludgeon and Prime Bulkhead, Starscream out of Generations Blitzwing, Shockwave out of Whirl, etc.
The only flop of the line in my mind was Optimus who was just Classics Optimus in G2-esque colors. They could have instead used the Hot Spot tooling of Inferno and put it in Optimus colors and then have it be a sorta G1 Fire Convoy tribute.
