Only four of the six formerly lost molds were released. The purple car and the jeep were not used, probably due to either the molds still being lost or considered unusable. The rest were first released in RiD as Prowl 2, Spychanger Sideburn, Side Swipe and Daytonus.
While we don't know who they were supposed to be, that red and white car would have most likely ended up as Rumble. And judging from the name on the side, the Jeep would probably have been Hound.

The Gobots? Are they different? I got the Japanese G2 Gobot of Megatron at Botcon one year, but that's because I thought it was completely identical to the US release. As in, only a sticker on the front of the card was different.

They have a large T on the hood of their vehicle mode, I think it says "Transformers" on their windshields, and Soundwave's robot mode uses some different colors.

As a matter of fact they are! The Japanese versions all have Soundwave's Tampograph on their hoods plus Soundwave is basically Gearhead with a bright yellow car shell: in other words, significantly different. Another nice thing to know is that they kept their US names. That's right: the first official use of "Optimus Prime" in Japan was in 1995, not 2007

Edit: Yep, has the tampo. Guess I need to pick up a US one too now. Darn, thought I was done with G2!
Ebay seller z75sales is at it again with rare Transformers listings on ebay. Staying on the G2 theme is G2 Groove. The seller states that he also has Blades which he will be offering up for sale soon. Next up is a little something for Beast Wars fans. A clear prototype or test shot of Beast Wars Optimus Primal which is MIB. Check out some of the images mirrored below.
it looks like somebody put the original clear lucky draw version in a hasbro package to seel for much more, and given how expensive the clear lucky draw is.....
Earlier this summer, one of the rarest Transformers pieces hit eBay and sold for a staggering $26,815.00! That item? The unreleased Generation 2 Menasor/Stunticons set! That one certainly turned heads, but the seller z75sales wasn't done, not by a long shot. He's acquired a rather sizable collection of items from an ex Hasbro employee, items that contain rarities, prototypes and mock ups just to give you an idea.
In fact, the same seller just recently posted an auction for the unreleased G2 Megatron, the mold that became G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen.
z75sales posted a couple of teaser videos on YouTube showing off this massive assortment of shipping boxes, filled with Hasbro and Kenner (which became a part of Hasbro several years ago) products that have yet to see the light of day. The second video even showcases an all black and orange prototype of Beast Wars Transmetals Optimal Optimus!
