Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

[griffin]

I've had a suspicion a couple months ago, leading me to check a youtube review last week, but now that I finally got one in hand, I now know for sure... the QTransformers crossovers toys are not based on an existing QTransformers toy (specifically the Gen1 Optimus figure). They (the crossover ones) are all the same mould with different heads, but Hello Kitty was the first with that mould and all the ones since are based on that toy, not a pure Transformers QTransformers toy.

They don't even transform the same, which I feel stupid about. The Transformers QTs stay facing up when transforming them from car to robot mode with the top flipping back to reveal the head, while the Crossover QTs are actually facing down when in truck mode with the back splitting in half to reveal the head.
It's one of those things that was probably obvious to others, but they are all so small and look so similar.
(I've updated the Checklist now, to fix up that mistake.)
