Pointblank - Hasbro TR Hod Rod w/ Siege on Cybertron Metalhawk's head
Sureshot - Full-Tilt w/ Quake's head

Japan got the Hasbro TR Kup mold in the same Amazon exclusive Transformers Tribute set we all got, just with some stickers on the box and a TLK designation. It's also still in stock and dirt cheap at only 2,330JPY. And of course Skytread was in the Headmaster box set as Flywheels.

That "Orion Pax" is currently sporting TR Perceptor's head and representing Crosshairs on my Classics shelf.
There is a toy of that. As in, it is itself a toy. It's the original 1992 toy come to life with a bunch of other toys in the comic, all Toy Story-style.ExciKaiser wrote:
Takara, you're not allowed to show this without a proper toy in preparation.
Rattrap and his friends watch as Majin Zarak continues its unstoppable rampage across Neo Akihabara City and are almost destroyed themselves before suddenly being encased within protective barriers by Big Convoy. The Maximal introduces himself as one of Rattrap's toys, revealing that all Transformers toys in the Legends World are living beings as toys across the world become real Transformers to protect their owners from the Zamojin army. Katsu Don attempts to destroy the newcomers with his telepathic power but is defeated by Overlord Tera, who has mastered that same power—now identified as Shinchōkon—and informs him that it is no longer monopolized by the Zamojin as it exists within all living beings.
With Majin Zarak held back by the army of toys, Scorponok hurries Mindwipe to place the Targetmasters-turned-bombs near the proton energy reservoir deep underground, getting Metroplex out of the way of the cave entrance by deploying Kickback clones to swarm him. By now Weirdwolf and the Decepticon Targetmasters have had enough and turn on their leader, and while Weirdwolf is defeated taking on Scorponok, the Targetmasters depart to try to reach the bombs in time, an act that is mirrored by their Autobot counterparts. Meanwhile, Alpha Trion and the Jumpstarters have made a plan of their own: by using Twin Twist's Drill Base to amplify Trion's repaired ultra-drill, they can banish Majin Zarak to another dimension without killing him and undoing his fated showdown with Lio Convoy. Scorponok is confident that his creation won't be pushed through the portal so easily, only for its engine room to be damaged by a team of Beastformers who snuck into Majin Zarak following its construction, allowing all Transformers in Akihabara the opportunity to pour their combined firepower at the beast. Majin Zarak is forced through to some unknown place and time and while the Beastformers, Skullcruncher and the Sweeps make their escape in time, Scorponok goes down with the ship, furiously screaming vengeance at Fortress.
The threat isn't over yet, however, as Mindwipe is still activating the Targetmaster explosives... but not out of his own free will, as Devil Z has revived in control of his body and intends to finish what Scorponok started! He is blasted out of Mindwipe by Slugslinger, but warns him that any attempt to meddle with the Targetmasters will cause them to detonate and, after a failed attempt at inviting Slugslinger to join him, retreats to a safe location to absorb the energy emitted from the Legends World's destruction. Slugslinger informs Megatron that there is only one way to prevent the Targetmasters from exploding: by killing them. He explains that while remodeled into bombs, they remain living beings, so if they die they won't detonate, but Megatron vetoes this suggestion and instead tells Alpha Trion to evacuate the entire population to the G1 World, leaving the Legends World to be destroyed rather than having to sacrifice any lives. Thanks to the Drill Base, portals are opened up across the world and everyone makes the journey thanks to their floating barriers or Transformers who turn into transports, and the employees of Axalon Trading Company go recover Optimus Primal before departing on a ship given to them by the Dimensional Patrol.
Megatron asks the Jumpstarters if they can recreate the Legends World in the future, and while they believe it difficult without proton energy and Zamojin assistance, they have faith that they can do it with the help of their leader, Dai Atlas. Meanwhile, all six Targetmasters have gathered at the bombs' location to act on an idea of Megatron's: simultaneously expelling all the plasma energy contained within their partners into the proton energy reservoir, which will still destroy the world but allows the Targetmaster partners to live. The plan succeeds, and all twelve of them successfully escape through a portal as the Legends World explodes behind them, though the shockwave sends the Axalon and crew off course. Rattrap awakens to find their ship crashed in a rocky landscape where he discovers the crystallized figures of White Leo and Tigerburn, seemingly frozen in battle with each other. He is greeted by the Monsterbots, with Repugnus claiming not to have seen him for a long time, and realizes he and his friends have ended up on the planet Beast.
