lesser-known G1 features

It took me a long time to figure out Perceptor's tank mode and even longer to realize what that giant slot on Ultra Magnus's head is for.

 

Does anyone know of a list of odd design features of the G1 toys?

 

I always wondered about the chest/ship on Superion as well as on Bruticus. It seems to me that there are a lot of official features that never were really spelled out.

 

And I never did figure out any real benefit to the gestalt locking tabs on Metroplex.

I believe several are diaclone features that were worked out better. I know that Metroplex (And Trypticon) can connect to the base forms of the gestalt leaders.

Those are for Metroplex literally powerlinking with the smaller Arialbots on the shoulders and the knees. Metroplex also can incorporate the Arialbots in city mode. IMO I have no idea why Hasbro did not include the instructions like Takara, very stupid guys. :tard

I actually modified my Silverbolt with the help of a cheap knockoff to give it the launch mechanism again. It works great and adds so much to his base/ramp mode.

So that is all those parts on Metroplex do? I don't know what I was expecting, but for some reason I think they just look silly locked on there.

 

The tab on Ultra Magnus's head locks it onto the jet/chest plate so that it looks like a large gun when the thing is acting as a small jet for diaclone drivers (whose feet I can't get in there anyway).
