Synopsis
[edit]Megatron breaks the fourth wall to introduce four more Transformers that didn't quite make the grade. They are a locomotive, a toilet, a fridge-freezer and a milk float, respectively.
Featured characters
[edit](Numbers indicate order of appearance.)
Notes
[edit]- "We're getting there" was the slogan of British Railways during the '80s. Trax's colour scheme also matches the blue and yellow livery on their trains.
- "Goldtop" is a popular name for milk produced in the Channel Islands, so called because it comes in a bottle with a gold top. It is creamier than regular milk.
- Many, many years later, the BotBots franchise would give us Dumpy Downer and Greasebowl.
