Yep.
Miscolored a bit, though.

Mindwipe didn't exist yet (this is from the start of season 3).
Though, all the Combaticons did have earlier designs that were closer to their toys than the final ones were (except for their heads, which in these earlier designs appear to be completely new heads instead of anything like the toy heads):

What I mean is, if a casual fan asks you, "do you have any toys of G1 characters?" you can just point to the CW figures.
I don't consider them toys that represent every specific iteration of the Primax characters, but I do consider them toys of the Primax characters in a general sense, at the very least.

I had to dig out my weapons for the Aerialbots. I was mistaken in the video, they are reused weapons. Sorry for the confusion
Actually, it IS new. It has a hole on the bottom of the foot, used to plug in to the top of Brawl. You can clearly see there is a peg to flip up from the back of the turret that the foot can plug into like the one on top of Rook.
Also, I am in utter disbelief that the torso would not lock into place. It looked like it wasn;t clicked back far enough.
I have to second this. Are we
absolutely sure that it doesn't accordion in? It really looks like it should...
The original post was talking about
Blast Off's gun, not Brawl's.

i was told that fortress maximus was so huge that he was way bigger than metroplex but some how cerebros was about the same size as optimus prime that would make for a tiny head, right! unless you forget scale
so some how everything just magically fits together. maybe blastoff is a regular size space shuttle and some how magically fits as an arm for bruticus if that's how it is so be it!
The same applies to things like Megatron and Soundwave being full sized giant robots who transform into human-sized handheld objects (a gun and a tape player). Characters grow and shrink in size while transforming all the time.
