Which figures do you recall have some really cool sculpting that is hidden/obscured

I am tying to think of all these figures that have either easter eggs or really cool sculpting that is not seen nor needed on a toy. Like 10th Anniversary Primal who has a ribcage behind his gorilla chest, or Titans Return Hot Rod who has all sorts of sculpting showing layers below his chest and even universe Powerglide's heart.

Which kinds of details like that come to mind for you?

Masterpiece Wheeljack, with an Animated-inspired moustachioed face which you can only see by disassembling the head.

Also Kingdom Rhinox, as (unjustly in my opinion) maligned as he may be, has some cool mechanical details within the leg panels which are only visible while you're transforming them.

I'm pretty sure there's more, but from the top of my head those are the ones I remember more clearly.

IIRC Earthrise scorponok has molded, maybe even painted eyes behind his screwed in place opaque visor that requires disassembling the head to see.

Immediately comes to mind is MP-01 Prime's teeth.

There's also all the details sculpted under HasLab Unicron's face.

Then there's the hidden robot faces on the Beast Wars Mutants since none of them have bot modes. They aren't hard to see, but they aren't part of the transformations either.

It's easily seen during transformation.

G1 Ultra Magnus has some lovely base detailing inside his super robot leg panels that tends not to be noticed, and a lot of detail and greebling on the sides of his lower deck that while in plain sight... tends to disappear into the red.

I'm amused at Razor Claw's face being changed so little from what it was originally going to be compared to the other Mutants, his noggin is still very obviously that of an Andalite - just a robotic one.
