Toyota as Transformers?

[toyotageek]

I have a buddy that just bought an older Transformer toy (from 1984). At first we thought it was a Toyota Supra, but some diligent searching eventually proved us wrong, and it turned out to be a Nissan 300ZX - Zig Zag the Renegade Gobot. Still cool, but hey, I'm a Toyotageek! ;D I took some pix that I'll post later.

Anyhow, it brings me to this... [glow=blue,2,300]How many and which of our beloved TOYOTA have been made into Transformer toys?[/glow] I haven't been able to find a site that was easy to navigate or had a search feature which included car make & model. I figured this is as good a place as any to ask, and that some of our astute members, who are Transformer Otaku would have some answers!

I await your flood of replies...

I'm no Transformers expert... but I found this:

My friend Ben from Japanese Nostalgic Car, is apparently a Transformers "aficionado" ;D and has come up with this listing...

Hi Mike,

What a great brain exercise. I happen to have a fond nostalgia for transforming robots (dating myself a bit) and of course Toyotas. There aren't as many Toyotas as one would think... they were adopted from Japanese toys but the US companies only used certain ones and probably picked cars recognizable to American kids.

[glow=blue,3,500]TRANSFORMERS:
Trailbreaker - black hilux
Hoist - green hilux tow truck (same casting as above)
Downshift - white MA60 supra - available only as a mailaway offer
Skids - blue(?) scion xb

GO-BOTS:
Small-Foot - red Hilux pickup
Jigsaw - black & white MA60 supra police car (I still have this one!)[/glow]

Then there's the new line from Hot Wheels that has a Scion xB

and another from Maisto that has a Scion tC.

Now I just have to see if I can find some of these to add to my collection!

Thanks Oz Stout & Ben!
