The colors are for the least not perfect, they are close. I still have Blast-Off from 1986.
To me he's Quickslinger thrown in mud, I shall call him 'Mudslinger'. All they had to do was give Blast-Off a remolded head and it would have owned.
And because of Takara's obsession with show-accuracy, the robot mode proportions ended up bloated and awkward compared to how they were in the cartoon and to how the Quickslinger mold's proportions are natural-looking and not awkward. Not to mention that this is also why the front end shuttle thruster ended up behind the windshield instead of in front of it where they're supposed to be both on the G1 cartoon model and on real world shuttles.
