Yeah, Sea Spray and Bludgeon are surprising ommissions.

Lugnut and Drift should also be included in the list, as they are G1-verse (which is back up by fiction appearing in 'Generations', art by Guidi, script by Furman, which clearly shows both operating in G1 Classicsverse).

We've also got Bludgeon appearing in IDW in what is essentially the same form as the ROTF toy, and IIRC Sea Spray appears in early TF Ongoing issues in his new form. Again, both 'canon' fiction sources, not fan-fic.


I see far more reasons to include them then to exclude them, particularly with Sea Spray. Add to that, IIRC, there was no equivalent Voyager line for the 'Classics' figures at that time, only deluxes. This was the only way to release them.

If you can sort through RTS to work out who's G1 and who's not, it's just as easy with SeaSpray.

EDIT: And why potentially downgrade Grapple? The G1 version was retooled from Inferno (or vice versa), so is this one. No different. Plus it was given the G1 cartoon accurate paintjob by TakTom for Japan, same as all the other Classicsverse figures at that time, really.
