Generation 2

(Unpainted prototype pictured)

<ul="iconlist">

  • Greasepit (1995?)
    • Designed for Generation 2 but not seeing release before the line's demise, Greasepit transforms into a Kenworth W900 wrecker truck. The figure is a "flipchanger", meaning most of the transformation sequence is an autotransformation, springing into robot mode by lifting a catch, or rather in this case, the towing hook. The front grill/bumper assembly detaches to form a hand-held blaster.
    This mold would see fruition in the Machine Wars line as Hoist and Hubcap, with Hoist in particular largely reusing the plastic coloration from the near-final Greasepit.
    Samples of all four prototypes, lacking paint and decals, have surfaced on the secondary market over the years, and TakaraTomy even displayed a set at Transformers Expo in 2014.
