That's a question I am always wondering, at what point is something futuristic or cybertronian? And with the transformers brand, a lot of the cybertronian designs do take hints from earth for some reason (well its because the artists and toy makers had to base it off something familiar for people to buy), and thats not just for the vehicles but also for how humanoid the robots look. Anyways, I just went with the actual material. Animated Arcee and Rodimus were not on Earth (and their designs were made before the toys) and Gen Arcee's alt mode is specified on the box:

Then I realized that cybertronian land vehicles pretty much means unicron trilogy, animated, or FOC/WFC toys only, and I wasn't collecting during that time. It seems like most of the toys in this category fit into three types: utter crap, lay-down-spread-your-arms, and the ones that made the list. So good job on the list!
Hey, what about Armada Overload? J/k , the only one I could think of otherwise is FOC Soundwave/Soundblaster/Blaster.
Thanks man. As for toylines that have these kinds of vehicles, there was also Beast Mahchines. And the generations line did give us another cybertronian design outside of the WFC/FOC lines and while it is great, I found it a bit too redundant when WFC Prime is already on the list (and better), but it's still worth a mention here:
