Never really focused on it before, but the cannon shape also seems to change a little between modes -- cannon mode has the curved part tapering more to the simpler cylinder that then plugs into the crown base. The robot mode mounted cannon seems to be one continuous curve.
Close, I think. There's a display with a boxed G1 Liokaiser, the combined CW Liokaiser, and a gray proto of the HasLab, and the latter two look comparable (HasLab is a bit taller and a fair bit chonkier and wider).
They could make it with just Scattershot himself. But then that's not necessarily untrue of Silverbolt, Long Haul, and Jarugar either.
Tbh the main thing I'd be looking for in a new Computron is a more faithful Nosecone. It was unfortunate getting the G1 toy colors from the Hasbro release but...
Make them Decepticon elites calling themselves the Bestforce.
Or perennially recharging or chilling back at base and derisively named the Restforce.
Or do an Ellbat and just drop the first few letters to nod to their Asian origins, calling them the Eastforce.

Meh, "what it is" includes good and bad, and people are calling out each in reasonable ways so far. I'm glad you have a clear plan for this in your own mind, but so do others (which may or may not include acting out battles like they're 8). People are allowed to want different specific things...
FOOL! GALVATRON'S CANNON CAN BE ANY BODY PART IT WA--
I mean yeah, I prefer a higher mounting point too, in general. Lets him do the "cannon pointing down while he makes a menacing raised fist" pose. But it's nice to have both options.
I honestly just want the Bumblebee, and Starscream might be a distant second. So they did the distribution "smartly" here, but idk if I want either enough to bother getting both 2-packs.
Oh, well. I figure someone's gonna want a Megatron.
Looking forward to this conversation with myself every...
