Outside of Selects, Sunstorm has received multiple figures since their eHobby origins, including a Masterpiece, so I fail to see why him and/or Detritus being eHobby exclusives originally matters, unless there's some legal nonsense or something that I don't know about.
I specified "not based on a Diaclone or Microman release". The ones that do like Deep Cover and Tigertrack are taking priority over e-Hobby-original decos it seems (to be fair, Bug Bite's white may have been based on a deteriorated video tape that showed his yellow as white). Given historical significance, I can see why.
