I thought the first one resembled an ol' school camaro. I get a good look at the front end of them driving down the roads. They are always in the rear view!

The vette I didn't think about until you mentioned it. Good call.

I don't know of any others, but I will keep on searching.

I ran across a file that listed this off as a Japanese Savana style RX-7.

I will find it again and post a link to it. Do remember one thing, old transformers weren't perfect replicas either.

i could've sworn there was one called "camshaft" or something. I think there was another post about it and the name was ironic, cause it was one of those parts that you can't find on an Rx7

You are correct and win the cookie!

Camshaft:


Kinda ironic, a rotary powered transformer that is named camshaft.

I mis-read the chart I found earlier. Downshift IS an older Supra and Camshaft is the RX-7. Both are members of the Omnibots.

i knew I'd finally make a post that was correct, and it only took me about 230 to do it I thought it was a first gen too, but since it was in 2nd gen area, I figured there might be another i didn't know about

This was a fun search. I remember the days with Optimus Prime. Hell, that was when I was ten years old.

Hope this answers your question. If you want to purchase Camshaft, go to Google and search "transformers Camshaft". It brings up a few sites on the first search page that are selling them still.

Brings in a pretty penny too, some as high as $40-50.

Alright, enough of me hogging the information that you requested.

American
Powermasters Series - Getaway

Japanese
Godmasters Series - Lightfoot

There's the names of the 2nd Gen TII transformer. I will post an animated pic soon, but I don't think it actually became a toy. But, let me keep searching.

Alright I was wrong. I was a toy in Japan at least:

You can't link directly to it and I don't have server space for the pic itself. Just copy paste it, it works that way.
