So I finally got myself the Botcon SG Thundercracker, and under further inspection, saw that there are serial numbers on the inside of his leg. If I had a camera, Id show you what I meant. I don't remember the numbers on any of the other seekers or any Botcon exclusives for that matter, but I may be wrong. Im sure its an attempt to find what departments are leaking products. Anywho, is this the first one of these? Or are there more with numbers?

Like a bunch of "random" numbers engraved in an out of the way place? All my recent TF's seem to have those, I rarely notice it, but just picked up three at random and found such numbers.

[Edit] Checked all my seekers, all had the numbers on the leg like yours, Classics Starscream, Universe Starscream, and Gen Thrust, Dirge, & Thundercracker.

*Goes to look at her Classics Starscream* Yup!! He's got a # on his leg. 82061 Now the Q is: Does yours have the same # as mine or different? If they are different then maybe that is the # in the line of the fig. Like an X amt was produce for that said fig. or said line.

From what I recall, the numbers indicate some combination of factory number that produced the figure, and a unique number to that factory, as a way to trace things back to a specifically factory/labour force.
