| The name or term "Carzap" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Carzap (disambiguation). |
- Carzap is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family
Carzap (カーザップ Kāzappu) has an unusual outlook on life. Where some people might mourn missed opportunities, he believes that life is cyclical—have patience, and you might just that find another open door presents itself. This philosophy is born of Carzap's circuit racing pastime. Life, like the race track, is a loop.
Fiction
Wings Universe
Carzap was born on Earth as a "Generation 2" Transformer. His creation took place in the Block Town unit of Blackrock Corporations' Tsukuba Laboratory in Japan, and, as such, Carzap has much affection for his "homeland". It was also in Japan that Carzap became fascinated with car races by watching them at the Dia Speedway. Carzap's bio During the Machine Wars, Carzap became part of the "Alpha Squad", led by fellow second generation Autobot Rapido. (Or perhaps the Bravo Squad...there was some debate.) His unit
was sent from Earth to Cybertron as reinforcements as part of a plan by Pyro and Obsidian. A Common Foe
Kre-O comic
Carzap was relieved that a fire had been put out. Dive Into the Fire! The Rescue Operation of Friendship
Earth's Most Wanted criminals and their army of Nightbirds attempted to steal Metroplex's brain on a floppy disk, but their group was repelled by G.B. Blackrock and Carzap. The Brick List: Earth's Most Wanted
Games
Transformers: Battle Tactics
Carzap participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were two of him! Carzap was an Epic character that could be recuited during the September 2015 daily campaign by collecting 20 alpha cores, 20 beta cores, 20 omega cores, and 10 cores of this character. Transformers: Battle Tactics
Toys
Block Town
- Garage Set (Block Town, 1996)
- Accessories: Engine block/gun, garage brick set
- Windbreaker's mold was one of several intended to be used in the post-G2 Takara Block Town line. To be redecoed in white with red robot parts, he was to come with the Garage Set, a building-block car port that could be rebuilt into a battle station of some form. This set 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).
- A picture of the Garage Set's box in the Transformers Generations guidebook gives the Windbreaker redeco the name "Carzap", which was what Windbreaker's Japanese name was revealed to be on a BotCon Japan 2000-exclusive poster.

Timelines
- Carzap (Deluxe, 2015)
- TFSS3 number: 1
- Accessories: 2 blasters, gas pump/laser blaster block set
- A retool of Generations Thrilling 30 Deluxe Class Bumblebee, Carzap sports a new head based on the Windbreaker mold, and a deco based on the cancelled Block Town Carzap toy. He transforms into a muscle car, and wields a pair of blasters that can be combined into one, larger weapon.
- In homage to Block Town, Carzap includes a small gas pump building set which can turn into a cannon, and a G.B. Blackrock Kreon. He was available only as part of the Transformers Figure Subscription Service 3.0.
Notes
- Carzap in the online comic is made from several existing Kre-O pieces, in this case he uses the grey or chromed version of the Prowl helmet (with additional grey details). His version in the "Earth's Most Wanted" comic has a Sideswipe helmet instead. His color scheme is very different from that of the original Carzap from the 1997 BotCon Japan poster, though.
