Notes

[edit]
  • Mach Five Racing Prime was created as part of the Transformers GT collaboration between TakaraTomy and Team Mach, a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Super GT|{{#if:||Super GT}}]] racing team with a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Speed Racer|{{#if:Mach GoGoGo|Mach GoGoGo|Speed Racer}}]] (dubbed into English as Speed Racer) theme. An actor cosplaying as him appeared at several events in 2014, including Super GT pit walks and the Tokyo Toy Show.
  • His design is based on the Legends Class Bluestreak toy (lacking the lightbar of the Prowl version) in the colors of Team Mach's Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3. The coloration of his head makes him look a lot like Smokescreen.
  • The character apparently went unnamed during his event appearances, but the Transformers Legends comic nicknamed him "Mach Five Racing Prime" after the Mach GoGoGo vehicle that inspired the Nissan GT-R's color scheme.
