Very interesting, thanks GoktimusPrime. Up until now, I thought these were leftover original stock. I remember seeing the G1 minibots, Cyclonus, Blaster, Soundwave and others in their original packaging. I still have some cutouts of the artwork from the back. This was around the time the 'Classic' gold packaging reissues were available in Australia. Then in 1993 they brought the colourful G2 stuff. :/
