Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

whenever I saw pictures of first edition cliffjumper online or watched video reviews of him his chest always kinda bugged me since it barely split and looked basically like Cliff had a big square block for his chest, actually having him in hand I discovered that his chest actually splits much further than pictures had me believe and that if you push the rear headlights up a little further on his chest they are actually molded to push the car roof halvs back at an angle to give cliff a bigger split in his chest and a more angled look to his chest really happy with how he looks now

edit: pics
Before After

Before After

not a huge differance but I feel he does look better now

Does it affect the transformation?

[Firestorm]

not at all, this isn't a kitbash, you just push the rear headlights up a little further to hold the roof halves apart

[GoktimusPrime]

Oh right! So it's a custom transformation. Cool... might try it later.

RTS Jazz has those cool speakers that fold forward from the doors. What I didn't realise is that they can detach from the doors and attach to his gun as well.

Only discovered this when I was looking at the instructions for GDO Wheelie (a reprint of the same mold). What was odd about that is that the instructions have Wheelie's head mold but Jazz's gun, even though Wheelie comes with a slingshot.

G1 Season 3 is set in the year 2010 in Japanese continuity... yet the Japanese dub of TFTM still says that it's set in 2005. This means that five years have passed between the events of TFTM and TF2010, and yet Daniel still looks the same!!

Just realised that United Scourge's eyes are red as opposed to the blue eyes on the Generations mould

Also, whilst re-reading LSotW, I think I've found Animated Lugnut (well, or at least RTS Lugnut) in a cameo in one of the frames! 90% sure, as he's a pretty unique looking bot..
