I was looking over my Grimlock, wondering why his knees aren't exactly lined up... turns out one of the red knee pieces is backwards! I can fix that (thank you screws), but... are the two knee joint pieces identical i.e. there are no "L" and "R" versions?

My red knee pieces look identical, left to right. However, I couldn't say for sure without disassembling them.

Thanks for your input guys, I'll perform the (hopefull) fix on Grimlock when I get the opportunity, and get back with my own findings. May look into Blast Off's shoulders as well, as in how to pop the joints without stressing them too much.

I just went ahead and popped Blast Off's shoulder parts by hand and swapped them. It's not too difficult, and there isn't a lot of resistance from the ball joints or mushroom pegs. You shouldn't run into any problems with stressing the plastic or deforming anything. I wouldn't switch them back and forth a LOT, but doing so once should be fine and leave your figure no worse for wear.

I disagree. While we love to mock Warden's team for their anti-BW stance generally toys in the Prime Wars trilogy always used something approximating the original deco for their mass release, meaning odds are POTP Optimal Optimus likely was always intended to be orange. It would make no sense to release a single figure in that entire trilogy with a non toy/show-based color scheme.
