5FDP - you're right, but the back of the 1985 box art has heaps more oddities than just red Tracks (who as Paulbot says, was a legitimate Milton Bradley Euro Transformers release) or even just the weird multiples of characters that the box art used to have.

Topspin is in Diaclone colours (white arms and blue body, like Twin Twist). Twin Twist is also Diaclone with a red chest and blue arms. Also have a look at the Deluxe Insecticons - Chop Shop is in his pre-Transformers Beet Gugal colours, Venom is Beet Zeguna and Barrage is Beet Gadol. Whirl is also in his Takatoku darker colours. And there's at least one 'Canadian'/box colours red Slag.

The Japanese version was more 'accurate':

And funnily enough it also has a blue Tracks as well as the red one (he's on the right-hand side under Swoop.)
