- Esporte is possibly an Autobot from the Estrela portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Esporte is a sporty bot!
Toys
Transformers
- Eletrix Esporte (Eletrix, 1985)
- Released in Brazil by Estrela, Esporte transforms from a red Nissan Fairlady (aka the Datsun Z)[1] to a robot and back with a press of one of the buttons on the wired remote control. The other button propels the car (or robot) forwards. Like the other Eletrix, the toy is powered by two AA batteries.
Notes
- "Esporte" is, as one deduces, the Brazilian Portuguese word for "sports".
- The Eletrix were originally released in Japan by Yonezawa Toys under the name Remote Change Robo Series. They were also released in the US by Village Toys as Convert-A-Bots "Pow-R-Bots". Esporte is mostly identical to these other lines' releases of the toy: he has a new "ESPORTE" sticker on his hood rather than the original "FAIRLADY Z", plus the stickers on the remote control are different (but similar) for each company.
- Also new to the Estrela versions of these toys is the packaging art, done in a painterly style to match the recycled Hasbro-made art for the other toys.
