  • Gasoline Station Set (Block Town, 1996)
    • ID number: TFBT-4
    • Accessories: Engine-block rifle, gas pump brick set
The European-original Rapido mold was one of several intended to be used in the post-Generation 2 Takara Block Town line. To be redecoed in black with blue robot parts, he was to come with the "Gasoline Station Set", a building-block gas pump that could be rebuilt into a battle station of some form. This toy would have been gang-molded with Hotrider, as Rapido and Turbofire were. However, no Block Town sets ultimately never came to release.
In 2005, a supposed Takara "release" schedule listed the Block Town sets among several other future items coming out. Only the Galaxy Force items on that list saw release, however (and some only as store exclusives to boot)
Given that Rapido's Japanese name was revealed on a BotCon Japan-exclusive poster to be "Rapid Engine"—a poster that also showed Windbreaker's Japanese name as being "Carzap", which was what the Block Town Windbreaker redeco showed up as in the Transformers Generations guidebook—it's likely that the Block Town Rapido was going to be named "Rapid Engine" as well.
