    Default G1 styled movie-verse figures

    I've been wondering how many movie-verse figures there are that either are blantantly based on their G1 counterparts (Guzzle) or have g1 themed decos (Cannon Force Ironhide) or even better are in some way a mix of g1 and movie-verse (Evasion Mode Optimus Prime)
    so I'd like to know what figures you guys know of that look somewhat G1-ish from the various movie toylines

    On top of the few you mentioned I can think of:

    ROTF: Dirge
    ROTF: Mindwipe
    ROTF: Bludgeon
    ROTF: Ravage
    DOTM: Rodimus
    DOTM: Laserbeak
    DOTM: Powerglide
    DOTM HA: Whirl (a mixture of both worlds)
    AOE: Various Dinobots
    AOE: Hound was at least a green coloured army vehicle
    AOE: Galvatron was a grey reincarnated Megatron


    Repaints
    Various Cliffjumpers
    Various Thundercrackers, Skywarps & Ramjets
    Pretty sure there were a G1 coloured Starscream & Ratchet (not the HFTD one)

    *Sideswipe was a sports car
    *Skids was a mini-van/hatchback
    *Optimus was a truck
    *Bumblebee was a car
    *Ratchet was an ambulance
    *Starscream was a jet
    *Hound was an army vehicle
    *Brawl was a tank
    *Mixmaster was a cement mixer
    *Jetfire was a jet
    *Long Haul was a dump truck
    *Scavenger was a digger
    *Scrapper was a construction vehicle
    *Slug/Slag was an outer-space dinosaur
    *Grimlock was an outer-space dinosaur


    Oh, and ad to the list I did in post 2 - DOTM HA: Drag Strip - definetly G1 inspired

    There's a number of counter-examples, too, such as Bumblebee becoming a Camaro-styled car in IDW G1 after the movies, or Optimus' design in Prime.

    ROTF Breakdown for sure
    Autobot Alliance Seaspray too

    ROTF Beachcomber, Dead End and Nightbeat too but a bit fuzzier (as just repaints of other toys)

    Same goes for Classics toys sold in Movie packaging: Breakaway, Crankcase. Big Daddy too.

    They had repainted Jazz and Starscream from the first movie in G1 style colors, I think Starscream in G1 colors was a Target exclusive or something, I have Jazz in G1 coloring and skipped on the original Silver/gray release coz I thought it was too plain. Then there's also this thread...which you can prolly say which ones look like their G1 counterpart and which ones went away from the original namesakes...we haven't updated that thread actually.... I didn't get much if any from the latest movie so I won't be able to add much to it

    Oh neat, so there actually is quite a few.
    I was just fiddling with evasion Op the other day and it made me wonder if a shelf of Movie styled G1 characters (or vice versa) was possible.

    adding answers to my own question there is also that G1-ish AOE/DOTM Wheeljack that came out recently with the matrix for a head.
    Arguably Movie 1 Wreckage could almost pass for a G1-Movie hybrid megatron too

    Hoist (ROTF I think) was pretty similar too. He came in a 2 pack with Mixmaster (already mentioned).
