Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

The G1 Breastmasters are all male. Just sayin'.

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.

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

Didn't know or didn't remember... the Autobot Deepcover (redeco of Sideswipe) has the ability to shrink to "toy size". Think Soundwave in cassette player mode, but Deepcover can shrink without transforming, as part of his spy function... so if you have the original ehobby toy, you can pretend it is real at that size, if you wanted.

Even though my avatar is of Cybertron Jetfire, he can be repurposed into the G1 character Dreadrock (who is named after the galaxy force name of Jetfire).

Pretty cool to have a UT adaptation of one of the characters being adapted into the G1 universe, especially one that had a different name in the Japanese series.
