"RUB MY BONNET!"

Mini-spies were very small Transformers toys that came packaged with Mini Vehicles in early 1985. Mini-spies were the first toys to feature rubsigns, and the only way to determine whether a given Mini-spy toy was an Autobot or Decepticon was by rubbing the rubsign.

There were four different Mini-spy molds, known by the unofficial names 4WD Type, Buggy Type, FX-1 Type, and Porsche Type, and each was available in blue, white and yellow variations.

The pre-Transformer versions of the Mini-spies were part of a toyline called Mecha Warriors, and came in blue and red variations. [1]


Trivia

  • The FX-1 type is commonly called Mazda Type by fans (as seen in the picture above), in spite of being based on an old Toyota concept car, right down to the FX-1 marking on the front of the car.
