    What are some interesting molded in details you've come across on your Transformers? something like the MP Soundwave subwoofers that Vangelus mentioned in the latest WTF.

    Here's one, under the barrel of Big Convoy's Big Cannon, there's a teeny tiny molded in marine door, just there.

    How about that? :sly2:

    MP01s freaky mouth behind his face plate.

    The Real Gear wrist watch Meantime having a wrist watch moulded on his arm, so he's wearing himself...

    Those two spring to mind.

    Probably been said before, but Universe Ultra Powerglide has a heart under a chest panel.

    It's already known and not really hidden and probably not really in line with this thread, but I like that Thundertron's beast head has an earring molded on.
    It also looks like he's got two of those wheel things for locking marine doors, rivets and all.

    The DotM deluxe Starscream mold has jet booster engines molded onto his back...

    It's probably completely unintentional and me just seeing something that isn't there, but the grey rails on TFP Magnus' Mech-Tech slightly evoke the car carrier cage detail of his RID version:

    Or maybe they're just both grey. :p

    cab interiors on Cyb Hot Shot. For a mold that doesn't natively open its roof, that was pretty cool. And by the size of the steering wheel, that car is easily two lanes wide.

    Cue "Red Barchetta"...

    Grindrod has all kinds of detailing, but what I liked best is the "spinal strut" on his back in bot mode. Gets completely covered with panels so I consider it a nice extra.

    Here's one I found while prepping Prime Voyager Dreadwing for a repaint. On the inside of his legs where his landing gear is located he has molded in hydraulic rams.

    No one mentioned FE Prime's dashboard yet? I'm surprised.

    I just checked mine and yup, the eagle legs that become his robot mode legs have little bones in the thigh section. It's otherwise hollowed out and just got them there. At least that's some creative plastic rationing.

    The insides of the thighs in robot mode, as the braces for the hollow spaces.

    Beast Wars in general was loaded with interesting sculpt detail. The pre-Transmetal stuff had tech and mechanical details on the undersides of skin/fur parts, and Transmetals changed it up with skin/fun/muscle tissue textures. And lets not forget Rattrap's freaky brain and intestines sculpting.

    FE Prime has a dashboard, steering wheel and all, inside his cockpit visible only when you pull the head up for robot mode and before you close up his back.

    FE Prime also has a trailer hitch moulded in blue on his left leg, to emulate the sculpting of the actual gray one that has to move on his right leg.

    FOC Starscream has a moulded spine.

    MP Soundwave has speaker detail moulded on the insides of the panels that open up to flip out his arms.
