Notes
[edit]
- The letter to Blaster was talking about a contemporary Renault Clio car commercial that had the vehicle transform into a robot. Pre-Almanac, whether this was a 'real' Transformer was questionable: while the Marvel UK's letters pages were written 'by' Transformers and telling the 'real story', by this point they were often jokesters (or inaccurate).
- If the original Renault commercial is taken at face value, Clio can also turn herself into a red orb and a horseshoe magnet, plus generate a giant pair of kissy lips from thin air.
- While the blown kiss and girlish giggle at the end of the ad suggests the persona of the Clio car is meant to be female, the robot the Clio turns into has a masculine build; in fact, it appears to be modeled more-or-less directly on Gort from the The Day the Earth Stood Still.
- ...Oh! "Clio-Patra"! I just got it!
