And unlike Ironhide and Prowl, they don't even have the dignity of their stock photos showing them in action poses, but instead limp and in pain.

** The ''86'' Sweeps are a curious case. They are, justifiably, a minor redeco and retool of Scourge in a lighter blue and with swapped hands, and are meant to be army builders to be purchased multiple of by a single person. The problem is that the Sweeps have never received any mainline toy, and thus collectors couldn't be any patient about it and did the same as any previous mainline G1 Scourge toy: Buy bulks of him to army-build him with a Sweep army. As a result, the Sweeps became notable shelfwarmers, with most people that purchased them having missed on Scourge and using them as replacements.

Wheelie, Spike and the Dinobots didn't have any War for Cybertron toys (aside from Grimlock just having an obligatory Kingdom Dinobot repaint, which isn't really a G1 Grimlock update)

** Several 86 releases for certain G1 characters have been considered marked improvements over their previous figures in the Toys/TransformersWarForCybertronTrilogy.
*** Arcee is generally seen as better than her Earthrise figure, namely for actually incorporating parts of her body into the vehicle and having a more involved transformation, likely helped by being a retool of her Thrilling 30s figure, which is widely considered one of the best Arcee figures for the same reasons.
*** Ironhide and Ratchet are considered vastly superior to their Earthrise figures, with a more solid van mode that incorporates every part into the robot rather than partsforming, better posability, and cartoon accurate appearances, as well as being mass retail figures rather than exclusive releases.
*** Ultra Magnus has gotten positive reception for having better robot mode proportions than his Kingdom figure, and a cartoon accurate vehicle mode that can actually carry other Transformers like his G1 toy.
*** Core Class Wheelie and Exo-Suit Spike are likewise much better received than the microfigures of Wheelie and Daniel included with Grimlock and Slug, as both feature more articulation and can actually transform.
*** For years, fans have wanted a complete and large set of Dinobots, but the problem was that Hasbro and Takara almost only released Grimlock figures without the rest of the team, or none of them were big enough to please collectors. The ''Power of the Primes'' versions were seen as the best official way to earn this, and while Grimlock is a well-sized Voyager, the remaining four being Deluxes with the compromises of being designed as Combiners made them also feel inadequate, with many purchasing oversized knock-offs of these figures to fill the void. The ''86'' versions of the team, however, have finally given most fans what they've wanted for a long while: Big and stocky versions of the team with outstanding articulation and properly-sized dinosaur modes at retail price.
*** The previous G1 Bumblebee toys were generally considered flawed in some way (the Core Class mold headlining ''Kingdom'' in the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' subline was considered better as Bumper than Bee, the ''Earthrise'' Cliffjumper retools have received the same partsforming criticisms as the other uses of the mold, and the Origins Bumblebee, despite having better reception, is still noted for flaws in quality control, namely the clear plastic panel for his alternate mode and his leg panels constantly falling off over time), and have been borderline ''impossible'' for fans to find, either for acceptable price ranges or ''at all'', given they were all ''exclusives''. The [=SS86=] release, despite having it's own complaints, is still considered superior, as not only does it ''not'' parts form, it's made ''completely'' out of opaque plastic and is also available at general retail, with one of the biggest announcements Hasbro made regarding it is that the toy will be part of the new "A-Level" distribution system, meaning that there will be ''entire shipment cases featuring nothing but copies of Bee'' to ensure that fans will have a better chance at procuring a copy at retail price.

** Moreso than Rumble above, Sunstreaker came out as a bigger surprise, as while on the least Rumble could be excused as completing a new set of cassettes for the ''Bumblebee'' incarnation of Soundwave, there were no reasons to believe Sunstreaker would ever show up, less so with no indication of his brother Sideswipe existing in the same universe[[note]]That said, the ''War for Cybertron'' version of Sideswipe was his wavemate[[/note]].

** The recently-leaked toy for the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersOne'' design of Optimus Prime, which while still deemed decent, had slightly divisive reception from fans; the primary complaints pertain to the ''very'' noticeable hollow leg parts and the fact that it looks ''yellowed''. Lastly, it was a mainline Optimus Prime at the ''Deluxe Class'' pricepoint, which most fans preferring a larger figure took issue with.
