- Camaro is a Malignus from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Camaro is a member of the evil Malignus, who are opposed by the heroic Optimus robots.
The toys from the Brazilian sub-series commonly referred to as "Optimus x Malignus" do not have bios, but share the same names and molds as previous (factionless) Brazilian releases which in turn had the same bios as their Hasbro counterparts, only in Portuguese. As such, it's possible that Camaro is basically "evil Windcharger". This also raises the possibility that the "good/evil" designations are retroactive for the Brazilian toys....
Fiction

Camaro is one of the Malignus faction who made their home in the Offworlder section of Nexus 208.0 Epsilon Cybertron, operating as a gang known as the Malignus Revolutionary Army. He and his buddies attended Gutcruncher's rabble-rousing speech, only to see the orator apparently get slagged by two new Autobot arrivals. Always looking for an excuse to eliminate fascist pigs, Camaro and the Malignus made it their personal mission in life (for the cycle, anyway) to hunt down and kill Jackpot and Hubcap. They lost the Autobots at the rally, but caught up with them again after the 'bots escaped police custody. The sudden arrival of an invisible cop left the Malignus confused about what to do next long enough for their Autobot prey to temporarily electrocute the thugs. The chase scene soon continued, however, with the new addition of Black Shadow, the Crossformer assassin who REALLY offed Gutcruncher, and was looking to eliminate his patsies before they learned too much trying to clear their names. Unfortunately for Black Shadow, he had a Decepticon's gift for monologing, and Hubcap's recording equipment was top of the line. Once Hubcap replayed Black Shadow's arrogant confession, Camaro and the Malignus Revolutionary Army quickly changed targets. The revolutionaries take no assassin prisoner!...especially when they happen to have a Gigantion on their side. Black Shadow became a black smear on the pavement. Gone Too Far

Toys
Generation 1
- Camaro (Mini Vehicle, 1985 - 1987)
- A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Windcharger, Camaro transforms into a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (which begs the question of what's up with his name). He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in four different color schemes: Original Microchange colors and white hull with grey body in 1985, and then again in 1987 in metal-flake blue with pale yellow, and dark purple with lavender robot parts. While both releases were Autobots in 1985 (but without any Autobot markings), he became part of the new "Malignus" faction in 1987 and received a "Malignus" sigil decal in robot mode (and a slight remold to accommodate the sigil).
- All of the "Optimus/Malignus" Mini Vehicle releases are considered fairly rare, and go for a fairly high price on the secondary market, particularly the secondary color schemes; in this instance, the purple/lavender Camaro goes for more than the white/gray.
