Yeah, Jazz being solo makes me wonder if they will even touch Inferno.
Dreadwind could still end up in either this line or a UW reboot. They might just be saving him to release as a 2 pack Buster/Hydra, or they could be using those 2 as limbs for Starscream (or whatever character they will use that torso for).

By pin, do you mean a rivet (with kind of a flat head)?
Some were able to "fix" Kup's and Orion Pax's leg panels by heating the rivet head with a soldering iron until the panel was able to pull out. Swapped the panels, then heated the rivet again to secure it. If the prime masters are the same way, you should be able to heat the rivet and pull the maxtrix/face off the back and the pin out the front.
It may just work pretty well, especially if you want to use a TR face. It would depend on the hole size for the rivet versus the screw in the master's body. If you get lucky and things match up, then you should be able to screw the TM face on through the PM body and not have to use the rivet to secure it.

I'm not really an expert, hell, I'm a noob at customizing and all that engineering so see for yourself.

In this particular case, I'm guessing not very different at all

How dare they the more logical and less "Hur dur hasblow" answer is it's most likely cheaper or easier to manufacture that way.

I would not call that a 'conspiracy', for crying out loud. This is about on par with some videogame companies being against modding.
