    Never realised we have another Aussie Transformer. The Tasmainian Kid. (sounds like a 80's WWF Wrestler)

    Toywise he's the same as BW Snarl, which was released in Australia. Although the mould looks nothing like a Tasmanian Devil... more like a generic marsupial thing... more like a Dunnart. :/ It's a nice toy though.

    As roller pointed out to me today. G1 Ultra Magnus' helmet head can combine with his blue chest piece to form a little jet vehicle of some sort. I thought it was just a joke, but then we tried it... crude but yup apparently it does.

    Parts- AM partner Basher-side guns, G1 Actionmaster Elite Windmill's blades[I][B]

    It's a carry over mode from Powered Convoy. The PC release came with small wheels on his chest piece too

    Hasbro skipped Powered Buggy, the little red single seater vehicle/robot that came with Powered Convoy too.

    Never really thought about it before and it's probably been mentioned a number of times elsewhere, but Camshaft is an ironic name for the character (G1 Omnibot), as his car mode is a Mazda RX-7, rotary engines don't have camshafts....
    I wonder if the person who decided on the name did so as a small joke
