Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

What's the clear red Megatron that comes with MP Soundblaster supposed to reference?

Nothing comes to mind in terms of the cartoons (based off the two times I've watched/rewatch Headmasters). Seems like it was just handy to use the same colour plastic as Soundblaster's energon cubes. Since Soundblaster did not interact with Megatron in the cartoon, maybe they felt that it didn't fit the scene for him to be holding Megs.

Hate plague Galvatron? Since he comes with a red Energon cube, maybe it's an Energon weapon.

The other releases of the MP Megatron gun all are obvious. MP-01/MP-04 are Megatron, MP-02 is Diaclone Megatron. The MP-13 version is Megatron again, but is a slight remould of the MP-01 version to basically make it a little more sturdy. This red Megatron is just out of left field.

Megaplex colours might've been better. :/

I've noticed the 5 digit alpha numeric code is NOT punched on a few of my TF box packaging. Are these unauthorised production runs, or worst still KOs? Or have I got nothing to worry about?

Which figures in particular and what was your source for them? Some of us might have the same ones and can check. It's not something I've ever looked for on packaging, I've seen it but never taken much notice.

My JP Encore 01 Optimus Prime and Encore 03 Soundwave doesn't have the 5 alpha numeric digits punched on the box packaging, whereas the rest of my Encore series have. That's really strange.

I'm not absolutely certain where I sourced these two from, but I think Encore 01 Optimus was from a forum member and Encore 03 Soundwave was from an Asian (HK or Japanese) online store. Don't hold me to that though. And I don't use eBay.

Don't you remember that episode where Soundblaster did that thing with the stuff? Then had a clear red Megatron like gun that he shot some Autobots with or something.

And then they had energon cake.

It references the laziness of the Design and production team at Taktom to come up with a legitimately original accessory to come with MP SoundBlaster.
