===Generation 1===
*'''Volks''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Mini Vehicle]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], Volks transforms into a "penny-racer"-proportions Volkswagen Beetle. He was released only in Brazil by [[Estrela]], and was available in two different color schemes: orange or red. 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; though considering the second Volks is red, a color Bumblebee was also available in domestically, that version isn't in particularly high demand.

: This mold was also [[Retool|retooled]] to make [[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]] and [[Glyph (G1)|Glyph]].

==Notes==
*The toys from the Brazilian sub-series commonly referred to as "Optimus vs. Malignus" do not have bios, but share the same names and molds as previous (factionless) Brazilian releases that used the same bios as their [[Hasbro]] counterparts, only in Portuguese. As such, it's '''possible''' that Volks is basically [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], if not the same character outright.
*A [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Transformers Animated'']] [[character model]] was created for Volks, but not apparently used in the broadcast shows—although some have confused him with [[Furão]], whose name was taken from Bumblebee's name in the Brazilian adaption of the Marvel comic.
