I had a feeling about that, since battles with "Novabots" was mentioned (albeit simulated). That instantly reminded me of Dark Nova and his Novaroids.

That was the intention, what with their similar design and all.

So in a sense, the Micromaster Six-Combiners and the Japanese Power Core ones can be considered the results of the same type of research? Tread Bolt and Jet Master seem to be linked.

I wouldn't say that, since the Six-Combiners were originally born from their Seiberdroid forms in the early 1980s. And even then, Sixliner was around before this story in the Return of Convoy fiction.

Jetmaster is Tread Bolt.

Jetmaster is Tread Bolt.

If that's the case, can we expect most, if not all Commanders to be Micromaster characters?

They will be pre-existing characters, yes. But, well, Hydra put best:

All of the characters appearing are based on pre-existing characters, but not all of them necessarily come from the G1 cartoon. Not all have been given toys before, either.
