Nope, I'm not gonna give you a picture of a mysterious figure and ask you guys who it is...
I was just looking at some G1 figures and thinking about how they weren't very cartoon accurate at all. Soi my question here is which figure or figures (can be any line, not just G1) look the least like their TV counterparts? I mean, there are a lot of them that if the show had no sound, I'd have a hard time figuring outm especially if I was a kid.
Huffer is one that stands out for me, but there are so many. The faces in particular of a lot of them are just so very different.

You probably got A/E/C Perceptor into the back of your head, you've obviously spent too much time around Counterpunch.

How about... Megatron (G1).
Then there was Galvatron (G1).
Perhaps the worst culprit...Wheelie (g1).

I go for Beast Wars Terrorsaur. As far as G1 goes most of the minibots fit to me. If I can think of anything else...

The weird face covers on the original Beastwars toys confuse me. Those flip open masks. I don't know what to call them. 
In a place such as this, you are the perfect prey for a brest animal!

The Seekers faces which leads me to ask how come World's Smallest Starscream gets a painted face and red eyes and the larger original doesn't. It strikes me that it would be easier to do.
Brainstorm in the Japanese Headmasters series
Hardhead
Optimus Prime, hated his toy head and those creepy yellow eyes
I know someone said the combiners but I have to stress Swindle, Dead End and Motormaster.
Scorponok
A lot of the ones I mentioned differed mainly in the heads.
I've just realised, this could be the first time the AEC trilogy got something right. Please forgive my blasphemy.

Strict cartoon accuracy is one area where A/E/C definitely wins out. Maybe the only one.
