Well, the G1 Targetmasters were meant to be the Autobot Cars and Decepticon Jets. Even the 1986 Cars and Jets (Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus & Scourge) were all retooled as Targetmasters in 1987. Although none of those retools were ever released in Australia - we only ever got the new Targetmaster characters. But to be honest, I would've skipped them anyway (and if most others felt the same then it makes sense that Hasbro AU skipped them). In 1987 getting more expensive boxed figures was more of a luxury - given the choice of asking for the same characters again (only with a new transformable gun) or asking them for new characters, yeah... I would absolutely have gone with the new characters (which I did ).
