* As packaged and depicted in official photography, Makeshift's sole [Powerlinx] socket is inaccessible in vehicle mode, only appearing when his lower body is rotated into position in robot mode. While this may be intentional, molded detail on the opposite side matching with the features of the robot mode suggests that the figure may have been mis-assembled.

  • Mini-Con 12-Pack (Multi-pack, 2008)
Makeshift is a redeco of Classics Oil Slick, transforming into muscle car with elements of a Mustang. His robot-mode "hands" (actually a knife and a pincer-like claw) can be deployed out of the grill of his car mode.
He was originally only available as part of a K-Mart exclusive Mini-Con 12-pack with Backstop, Blight, Bodyblock, Boltflash, Brimstone, Cloudraker, Flatfoot, Heavytread, Knockdown, Skyhammer, and Suppressor.

  • Makeshift (Mini-Con, 2009)
Makeshift was also sold on an individual card through discount store chains like Big Lots! in the US. This version is identical to the multi-pack release.
