| This article is about the Brazilian-market Transformer. For the car brand, see Porsche. |
- Porsche is possibly an Autobot from the Estrela portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Porsche has a trademark-infringing name!
Toys
Transformers
- Eletrix Porsche (Eletrix, 1985)
- Exclusive to the Brazilian Transformers line by Estrela, Esporte transforms into a rather squashed black Porsche 930 Targa and back via electronic, wired remote control. Pressing the "Robô" button when he's in car mode causes him to move backwards and turn to his left, activating his transformation to robot mode, then sending him forward in a "walking" motion... theoretically, in actuality the wheel on his back end for robot-mode actions sticks out a bit too far, making him lean to his right and just kinda sadly, slowly turn in staggered circles. The "Carro" button moves him forward, shifting him to car mode automatically if he's in robot mode.
- Like the other Eletrix, the toy is powered by two AA batteries, with a cord over four feet long attaching the remote. He can only transform with the electronics: forcing the transformation manually will just strip the gears. Which also means his arms cannot raise up like they appear in the box art.
Notes
- 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". Porsche is mostly identical to these other lines' releases of the toy: the stickers on the remote control are different (but similar) for each company. His on-body stickers are unchanged, the only one of the three not to have those changed for the Estrela release.
- 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.
