Yeah but the Commemorative reissues came out before Encore. It's not too surprising that there would be some mould degradation with Encore Skywarp and Thundercracker considering that it would be the third time those moulds have been reissued.

That's subjective. Powerglide's name is written as パワーグライド (/pa'wa; gu'ɾa'i'do/). Although commonly Romanised as "r" the Japanese consonant /ɾ/ is not the same as /r/. It is a apical postalveolar flap undefined for laterality and is quite similar to the "r" phoneme used in Korean (reference).
