The Titans
Cybertron's space program is ODD by most standards. However, it's still working
and the stars grew distant and lonely in their orbits / we saw but could not touch their wandering grace.
When I first saw it back when I was young, this was some of the coolest art I had ever seen. Nice to know it still holds up (particularly the dinobots fighting the insecticons - IN SPACE- in the first one, although Optimus obviously started working out following his appearance in that second picture :D )
The first and third pictures above were painted by Jeffrey Mangiat, the second one by David Schleinkofer, and I've done some digging but unfortunately can't confirm who painted the last one.
Regarding the Valkyrie, it's there because it was a redeco (recolour) of a licenced Macross toy made by Takatoku toys, purchased by Bandai after they went under in 1984 and licenced to Hasbro to include in the Transformers line around 1985 (as at the time Bandai didn't have a big presence in the Americas, so it was easier for them to licence their moulds to other companies).
Of course, there were inevitably licencing issues as time went on, so Jetfire (the toy) was renamed to Skyfire in the original comics/animated series, and heavily restyled!
If you want to know more, you could do worse than checking out the transformers Wiki (though if you're anything like me, you'll end up link surfing for hours...)
Having seen one in person, genuinely one of the coolest toys I've never owned!
