102 el transformer mexicano



gggggggggg Moving on to Mexico. Mexico... land of Tequila, sombreros and repainted mini-cars. IGA was responsible for Transformers in Mexico. IGA, "juguetes con vida" meaning toys with life. There were a number of them, and they are sometimes of lesser quality that standard Has/Tak transformers...but the most interesting to me is the Mexican Blue Cliffjumper(not to be confused with the Microchange Blue or Brazilian Optimus-x-Malignus Blue cliffjumpers - pic). Actually, he was released in blue, red, yellow, and a silver version as well - pic. Other minibots released in mexico include Bumblebee, Gears, Windcharger, Huffer, Windcharger, and Brawn. Gears appears to have been released in both standard and swerve colors, while Huffer was released both in standard and in TWO versions of blue... 'Puffers', if you prefer. (which is NOT to be confused with the euro-puffer). It is interesting to note that, for the later-release colors, they apparently changed the names to reflect the newer character, even though they recycled the mold(for example, a Gears colored as Swerve would be named Swerve on the cardart, while the yellow Windcharger is called Tailgate on the card).
It is interesting to note that the yellow cliffjumper came with just Hasbro copyright symbols(unlike the north American yellow Cliffjumper, which had both Has/Tak)(this is not to be confused with the chinese minibots, which ****). In the pictures below you can see the blue Cliffjumper, all blue Huffer, Maroon Outback and maroon Swerve. These were series 1 mini-cars, repainted into series 3 mini-cars.

Generation 1

  • Carerra (Mini Vehicle, 1985)
A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Cliffjumper, Carerra transforms into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Porsche 924 Turbo. He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: blue or white. He also has a new "Optimus" faction sigil decal in robot mode.
All of the "Optimus/Malignus" Mini Vehicle releases are considered fairly rare, and go for a fairly high price on the secondary market, particularly the secondary color schemes. However, Carerra appears to be the least in-demand, as both colorations were also available in other releases: blue Cliffjumpers were found in various European markets, while Antex released their own white Carerra.
This mold was also retooled to make Hubcap and Tap-Out.
Brazil, where to start with Brazil. Between playing beach soccer, Estrela sold Transformers throughout Brazil. Many repaints of the mini-cars were sold and in fact, mini-cars were almost the only officially licensed Hasbro Transformers to be sold there(unless you want to count the jumpstarters). The Transformers you see below are only a sample of the different colors available. The Bumblejumper mold was sold in Brazil as an actual character, with his own card-art. There were four versions of each mold, with Huffer not being licensed:

Bumblebee(Volks): Series 1: (silver; red)/Series 2 (Optimus: orange; red)
Cliffjumper(Carrera): Series 1: (gold; red)/Series 2 (Optimus: blue; white)
Bumblejumper(Sedan): Series 1: (white; blue)/Series 2 (Optimus: green; yellow)
Brawn(Jipe): Series 1: (tan/creme; green/orange)/Series 2 (Malignus: black/purple/yellow; blue/gray)
Gears(Pick-Up): Series 1: (2-tone orange; blue/red)/Series 2 (Malignus: green/purple; dark red/red)
Windcharger(Camero): Series 1: (white/grey; red/grey)/Series 2 (Malignus: blue/yellow; dark blue/pink)


These above toys were sold in two different series, the second being called Optimus x Malignus, which were basically the goodies and the baddies :-) They got their own unique faction stickers. In-addition, the stickers on the back of the cars(bumblebee, cliffjumper) also saw a unique design - pic.
It is interesting to note how popular the color Blue is for Cliffjumper :-) From the blue Brazilian one here, to the Mexican one(and the microchange one)...pic. But what I've noticed is that a lot of people are on the lookout for Gears for their collections. Not sure why, but there are sure plenty of color variants for him between here and Argentina ;-)

There are mold variants; in-addition to copyright changes, a number of the minis have mold-injection point changes. Of particular interest is the windcharger mold, which in the later series has a filled-in chest cavity(compared to the gap on a regular windy): pic

Los robots de "transformer" tienen en el 924 uno de sus iconos.
En este caso vemos una caricatura del 924 turbo, transformable en un robot.
