1	* ExecutiveMeddling: When Shout Factory! has the license to release the series, along with ''Headmasters'' and ''Victory'', Hasbro had some of the names changed in subtitles. Which doesn't really make sense, since most of the characters are being referred by their Japanese names. While it would (sort of) make sense with ''Headmasters'', it doesn't here when Cancer's name was in "God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?", yet being called Squeezeplay. This would lead to WhoNamesTheirKidDude territory.
2	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was supposed to be two characters, named [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Shinichi Shinkichi]] and [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mayumi Mayumi]], who are on opposing factions (Shinkichi on Autobots and Mayumi on Decepticon's side) are to merge with a transtector that would become [[TheMole Clouder]].
3	* YouDontLookLikeYourself: The designs seen in ''Masterforce'' are altered to varying degrees compared to the American-produced toy commercials featuring their counterparts (presumably because neither team[[note]]Toei handled most of ''Masterforce'' in-house; while [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers cartoon]] subcontractors Creator/TMSEntertainment and Creator/NakamuraProductions [[StudioHop handled]] the Hasbro and Marvel commercials from here on out[[/note]] was sharing the same model sheets as the other), of particular note:
4	** Optimus Prime in his Powermaster body is considerably thicker than Ginrai, moreso when they're combined with their trailers.
5	** Landmine's Pretender shell is depicted as a fairly burly brunette, instead of the glasses-wearing blond Lander's is.
6	** The Decepticon Pretender shells have various differences too -- Submarauder has a much leaner build and larger mohawk fin compared to Gilmer, Bomb-Bust's fur is grey and his eyes are more squared off compared to Blood, and Skullgrin's horns extend well past his shoulders instead of the more ram-like (and toy accurate) horns seen on Dauros. It should be noted that these design traits ''are'' more in line with their appearances in the Marvel comic series.
7	** The Autobot headmasters are mostly identical save for Minerva becoming Nightbeat, while the Decepticon headmasters have more robotic-looking beast modes in their commercial compared to their anime appearances. Ironically, the Decepticon Headmasters in the comics look even more organic than even ''Masterforce'' in monster form.
8	** Dreadwind and Darkwing are more monochromatic in their color schemes (Blue/Teal and Grey/Teal respectively) compared to Hydra and Buster.
9	** Getaway has an orange face and a mouth while Lightfoot has a black/grey face and a mouthplate. The toy ironically goes both ways by having an orange face and no mouth.
10	** Even disregarding the PaletteSwap, Quickswitch is, for better or worse, a more accurate translation of his toy compared to Sixknight, who is taller and less blocky.
