Or we could add an "RM" in front of it.

I didn't think he looked much like his cartoon version.Most of the BW toys were prettty accurate. From G1 I thought Soundwave was accurate compared to others.

It was a joke
I have perceptor
I know the face is way closer to prime than the cartoon character

Cartoon accurate toys?

Some of the BW era toys (the later ones Transmetal and later)
BM Air Attack Optimus Prime, Megabolt Megatron, Stryka, Obsidian, (ugh) Nightscream, Rattrap, Tank Drone, Motorcycle Drone, Supreme Cheetor.... That's about it from BM

and then any cartoon produced in Japan have them hyper accurate:

RID\Car Robots
Armada\Micron Legend (though the show sucks - as do most of the toys), Energon\Superlink and now Galaxy Force (Galaxy Convoy is now one of my Favourite toys).

G1? Shockwave, Omega Supreme, Metroplex and Trypticon.... yeah.... about that.

Ironhide maybe?

Blaster looks pretty similar to his cartoon counterpart.

Do you mean G1 Ironhide and Ratchet? They're nothing like their cartoon counterparts (ok, granted, their alt modes are - but Robot? There's nothing there. Well, they share the same colour scheme)

Which is why I was so disappointed with Energon Tow-line - he could have made a great Ironhide or Ratchet......

I was just being stupid. I am actually thinking about getting a couple towlines and doing an ironhide and ratchet repaint.
