It's not that the cockpit is made of rubber, it's that it's simply too large, making it look bulbous.
Transformers Studio Series 102 Optimus Prime is selling for double on e-bay due to Target not stocking him enough on shelves and online.

I had wanted a copy of this figure, but as scarce as Target has made them? He's not been worth the trouble to track him down. It seems a nice figure, but I have no intention of paying the scalper's ransom they're asking for on Ebay. Same with Buzzworthy Origin Jazz. Target seems to be having a general problem with all their 'exclusives' lately.
And now I hear that Studio Series 86 Hound is slated to be in the Target Buzzworthy line as well. That scares me, because it means he will also be impossible to find. Walmart has rightly been skewered over the lousy way they handled Velocitron Cosmos and other exclusive figures. But Target is equally guilty. And given how Hasbro is supposed to be working and coordinating with these retailers to make sure they have enough product for everyone who wants to buy? It's hard to know exactly who to blame. It's like that scene in Grapes of Wrath. "Well - who do we shoot?"

...That rubber cockpit isn't going to make things any better. Outside of it sounding wrong to say I doubt it'd be any more durable than clear plastic tends to be.

Plus it's a laugh anyway. If Hasbro made that cockpit out of soft plastic because they were 'concerned that clear plastic might break'? What does that say about how they're using almost nothing BUT clear plastic on so many other figures? (We're looking at YOU, SS 86 Ironhide, Ratchet, B-127, WFC Prowl, and a host of others). Hasbro sure as heck doesn't seem concerned about THOSE breaking....
So far, I've been transforming SS86 Ratchet and Ironhide back and forth over and over and I really don't see how anything can break. The only way would be to force things the wrong way on purpose, or to throw the toy at a brick wall with full force.

If you're ginger with them, you can avoid fractures. It remains to be seen how well these will hold up over time once the plastic gets older and more brittle, as it invariably does. In any case, if clear plastic is durable (as long as you make it a little thicker), why didn't they use it for the Gamerverse Starscream?

In-movie wise, I like the DotM one best.
Of your repaints, the one on the far right is my favorite
