    The new Studio Series Wreck-Gar is male (since he has a moustache)?? but he also has protruding nipples.
    And from the looks of it, they are actually a point of articulation (two points, actually). Why, Hasbro, why?!?!?
    So this guy wouldn't feel so bad:

    Men have nipples too, which can even protrude when it gets too cold.

    Wreck-Gar doesn't actually transform in TFTM at all. He rides another Junkion who looks like what we assume Wreck-Gar's motorbike mode looks like, given the other pairs of Junkions we see trade rider/bike places after being knocked over.

    We don't really get a good look at that guy he's riding except for when Springer knocks Wreck-Gar off him. It wouldn't be a stretch for the rumoured Studio Series 86 Junkion to be that guy (and a very limited retool of Wreck-Gar the same way the Sweep is of Scourge).

    I'm fully expecting at least a couple of Junkeon remoulds of Wreck-Gar.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    A toy that is basically the same mould but with one or two swappable parts (such as heads) would be great, but Hasbro doesn't do that sort of thing, right?

    Not with Transformers but if you look at the Marvel Legends line they do that sort of thing a lot.

    They released one New Mutants body with two extra heads (and two extra set of hands) so you could make it one of three characters (buy the same toy three times if you want all three on your shelf).

    Legends Overlord says hi.

    It is extremely uncommon though. HasTak are more likely to pre-tool a mould with different parts that are swapped out for different releases.
    e.g. Masterpiece Datsuns
