    Age of Extinction Dinobot Slug is possibly the first (only?) purple Autobot.

    Which kind of makes his name a bit misleading, but then 'Purplebolt' doesn't really have the same ring to it...

    Isn't FoC Whirl and Impactor Purple-ish as well?

    Whirl is orange and blue, but you're right about Impactor -- he does have purple on him. Although he's mainly orange with purple as his secondary colour, but yeah, Impactor would certainly take credit as being the first Autobot toy with purple. But AoE Slug appears to be the first Autobot toy to be predominantly purple. His secondary colour is lavender! So Slug is very, very purple - which is so unusual for an Autobot as, AFAIK, unprecedented.

    Purple is rare as a prominent colour for an Autobot toy, as it seemed to be reserved for "evil" toys (almost every 1988 Decepticon had purple on it somewhere)... but we do have a few contenders.

    Also, Armada Sideways and one of the releases of Animated Longarm were purple. For an incredibly racist society, it's surprising the Autobots weren't more suspicious of those two. And Shattered Glass Optimus Prime. He's evil too.

    Someone off the board also pointed out a Japanese variant of ROTF Elita One. Either way, it's certainly uncommon to see heroic characters with purple on them -- especially so predominantly.
