| This article is about the Malignus robot. For the real-world car model, see General Motors. |
- Camaro is a Malignus from 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 Portugese. 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....

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 a new "Malignus" faction in 1987 and received a "Malignus" sigil decal in robot mode.
- 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/lavendar Camaro goes for more than the blue/gray.
