I think the Insecticons that got tossed out of Astrotrain MIGHT have been the originals but with so many clones over the years it's impossible to tell if they were the originals or clones. Hell maybe even Bombshell, Kickback, and Shrapnel couldn't tell anymore. I mean one of them showed up on Junk after Unicron reformatted them with Scavenger threatening Daniel.
In the end though I try to figure out ways that these contradictions can fixed. For example I think the cartoon show's 2 different origins of the Constructions were both right. That they were originally from Cybertron and they were friends with Omega Supreme until Megatron reprogrammed them after their betrayal they laid low. Once Megatron made contact with Cybertron again they went to Earth and Omega Supreme who had been tracking them since their betrayal, so he chased them to Earth and blew their spaceship up and left them in a pretty bad shape, they sent out a distress signal so Megatron when found them he built them new bodies (based on their old ones), while Omega Supreme made contact with the Autobots on Earth.
