*'''Downshift''' (Deluxe, 2004)<br />
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-19'''<br />
<br />
: Downshift transforms into white rally-deco sports car of undetermined (possibly fictional) model with red and green stripes. He has a pair of clear-plastic guns, one a spring-loaded missile launcher, one non-firing. These can be hand-held or attached to Downshift in various ways in both modes. He can also form the top or bottom half of any silver or bronze "[[Powerlinx]]" combiner.<br />
<br />
: For his [[Takara]] releases, the pale-olive plastic of his robot parts was replaced with a medium silver.<br />
<br />
: Downshift's deco and sculpt is a clear [[homage]] to the [[Generation 1]] Autobot [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. His robot mode has Wheeljack's head, a simulated car roof on his chest, and even the "Lancia" grill-feet.<br />
<br />
: Downshift was first released as part of the final wave of "normal" ''Energon'' black-backed cards, a shipment that appears to have been very brief, mostly showing up at Kohl's department stores. This naturally caused a panic. He was later released in much greater numbers in the "[[Powerlinx Battles]]" packaging.<br />
<br />
===Universe===<br />
*'''Downshift''' (Deluxe, 2005)<br />
<br />
: For ''[[Universe]]'', the original ''Energon'' Downshift was [[redeco]]ed, with blue stripes and a large Autobot sigil on his car mode. Hoever, his robot mode as almost totally unchanged, save yellow plastic replacing the pale-olive.<br />
<br />
: A Kay-Bee stores [[exclusive]] alongside [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], the pair were released during a time when Kay-Bee was having great financial difficulty, closing multiple stores nationwide. Few Kay-Bees appear to have actually received these. The bulk of these exclusives appear to have been sent instead to "Kay-Bee Toy Works" outlet stores.<br />
<br />
===Cybertron===<br />
*'''Downshift''' (Deluxe-Class, 2006)<br />
<br />
: ''Cybertron'' Downshift is a green sports car with styling heavily influenced by the Chrysler pony cars from 1970 through 1974. The car features a black hood and a texturing like vinyl roof applications from the 1960's and 70's. Inserting a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into a flip-up slot in his rear window activates a claw from the car's grill. This feature is also available in robot mode. He comes with two large spring-loaded missile launchers, which can be mounted on his side-panels in car mode, or be used in robot mode as handhled blasters or moutned on his shoulders.<br />
<br />
: While Downshift's Wheeljack-modled head in this form is not surprising, he still retains his Lancia-grill feet. Funky.<br />
