Default Strange deformaties of leaves

I have a post now(disease or deficiency, I believe). The common thought seems to be potassium deficiency in those plants, but I have an issue that is different(I think). I have 4 Tiny Tim tomato plants that have odd curled, and or deformed leaves. Some are smaller and rolled underneath, and some are misshapen, very very odd looking. Here are some pictures, maybe someone has an idea what is going on with them. I have many other varieties of tomatoes, and no others are showing anything like this. They are all in pots, and had gotten pretty rootbound before I transplanted them to larger pots a few days ago. They were started in soda bottle self watering planters(1 liter each), and stayed in them too long. The flower buds even look strange on them, like their growth is stunted. One of the plants has buds opening, and is setting fruit, it is the tallest and least stunted looking, but still not quite right. I found a caterpillar in one of the pots today, and started wondering if bug damage could be part of their problem. Any ideas? Thanks

clkingtx,
It looks like rapid growth. You said that they were rootbound and that you just potted up to larger containers. Sometimes when you free up a plant that's been constrained in a small pot, they have a tendency to grow branches and leaves real fast. Watch over the next few days, they should unfurl and look more normal. I don't think that you have damaging problem. I would keep an eye on them and watch for any changes. Post a picture in a couple of days to see if there's any change.
