In the original Japanese magazine material, the Coneheads were seen as an elite force that worked under Shockwave back on Cybertron that then came via the space bridge to help Megatron, in a way, replacing the older Seekers. While we never had a true measure of superiority between the old and new, it was implied they were faster and stronger. (Even if their Tech Specs when compared are actually weaker, but tech specs are a micro continuity all in itself)
The belief with Japanese material is each Seeker set is stronger then the last fictionally thus
1984 Seekers < 1985 Seekers < 1986 Seekers and Sweeps (Which oddly consists of 1984 Seekers and Insecticons)
