It's worth noting as it's Henkei (i.e. before the change to US names for Japanese toys) they all carry their original Japanese G1 names, and some are rather humorous:
Cliffjumper: Cliff
Brawn: Gong
Cosmos: Adams
The rest retains the original US names.

Why's Cosmos called Adams?

Funny you should ask. He's likely named after George Adamski, who's responsible for the stereotypical flying saucer.

I added their alternate Japanese names. Thanks for the reminder, JelZe GoldRabbit.

Little bit of trivia about these galleries. I got these little guys back when they first came out. Knowing that they weren't going to be big page turners here on Seibertron.com, it took me almost a year and a half to finish the photography part of their galleries. The photos were completed back in March 2011. The photos sat on my computer uncropped until I decided to push through them yesterday while having an HBO True Detective marathon with my wife yesterday.
So, here they are after almost 5 years. I've got a bunch of other completed galleries on my computer that just need the photos cropped that will get posted during this bonus down time until the spring Transformers figures come out (and before the launch of AOE toys). Yay catch up time!

If I'm not mistaken Cosmos has hands that can flip out

I have the Hasbro release of that Cosmos, and no, he does not.
I've always been surprised Hasbro never released a domestic version of that Cliffjumper. Just a pair of Bumblebees and a Goldbug (who, of course, is just another version of Bumblebee). I would have liked to have a little Cliffjumper, but not enough to import one (especially as part of a three pack with two other figures I already had domestic versions of).
