Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Another question. I just had a thought. Which appeared first? The first appearance of Elita One and her crew in the G1 cartoons (US airdate), or the first time Red Tracks appeared on box art on the shelves (probably in the US also)?

Since I'm taking the retconing of Red Tracks into Road Rage as cannon does that make Road Rage the first female Transformer?

TFwiki has the female Autobot's first appearance episode (Search for Alpha Trion) as premiering November 12, 1985. 1985 line toys with that back of box art would have been on sale well before that (Some 1986 line toys like the Stunticons were coming into stores around Christmas 1985) so Road Rage came first, kinda.

With all the goldish and clear plastic on it, what's the build quality like on the YOTG MP Soundwave? Might get one this week since it's $99.

It's very good, I expected it to feel light and flimsy but it is solid. A real surprise when I pulled him out of the box, and at $99 an absolute steal.

Just got my YOTG Soundwave... I have no idea which one is Laserbeak and which one is Buzzsaw, any official images to say which is which?

What does the instruction sheet say? If I had to guess, I'd say the orangey-yellow is Buzzsaw. And the paler yellow is Lazerbeak.

... Linkin Park Soundwave box set. Try & figure which one Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw.

Wait, so did Hasbro actually misspell Laserbeak as "Lazerbeak" in the YOTG set?

Cos TakaraTOMY frequently misspells laser as "lazer" in their MP instructions, which I keep on having to correct as "laser" for Hasbro AP's English adaptations. Then again, I guess that these toys aren't really being aimed at the Anglophone market, and the English words are just there for decoration.

The instructions just have a single entry for both Laserbeak and Buzzsaw, and the spelling is correct, Laserbeak not Lazerbeak. There is nothing on the box or in the instructions which officially says which is which.

There also is nothing that says which is Rumble and which is Frenzy, but they at least have their traditional colours on their arms so you can go with your choice of RIRFIB or FIRRIB.

Apparently funpub is closing down? before I make a thread I'll post it here. I was saving to go to botcon in 2018 but alas that won't be happening
