Two MP G2 figures. Bee and Swipe.
Two BW repaints. Shadow Panther and Supreme Commander Primal.
And original G1 continuity ended in 1992 with Operation Combination in Japan which gave us Guard City, Battle Gaia, the Micromaster combiners, and re-purposed European Predators and Turbomasters.

Okay, let's address both of these at once!
RE: G2 - Puzzler that one
Completely blanked on G2 Bee. Sideswipe was the only one that came to mind.
RE: Beast Wars - What I said was entirely correct. I said:
"Four characters into Season One. 4 of 14. Plus one redeco". Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Dinobot, Megatron: The four characters of Season One. Shadow Panther is the one redeco that was
not a part of the series. I did specify character, not toy. Repaints of those characters would also be inclusive in that descriptive.
RE: "End of G1" - The Masterpiece Collection, is mostly based on toys that accompanied other media. Technically G2 even counts in that by proxy, due to the awfully "rebranded" Sunbow repeats.
So for the purposes of that MP line mandate, I would draw the line for G1 at Zone, the last canonical series.
You'll note I skipped out
Machine Wars (1997) from my list earlier for that very reason.
The inclusion of the Movie characters in the MP line (of which I do completely forget even exist) are purely because they are Multi-million making movies.
Strike while the iron is hot, and all that.
