The one on the right is MicroWave (or something similar....I have/had that issue).  Not sure about the one in the middle.

The one in the middle is Masterman (actually Perry White, after being taken over by an alien creature), and on the right is Microwave Man.

Hah, it was only because of JK's skin that I even knew who Vartox was in the first place!
