Toys
Generation 1
- Calcar (Trakkon, 1993)
- Accessories: Gun platform
- Calcar transforms into a pink and gray off-road Cabriolet buggy. Like his fellow Trakkon Fearswoop (and the Autobot Lightformers), he comes with an artillery platform that can be mounted on his vehicle mode. The platform has a light-pipe gimmick and gear system that when turned gives the illusion of twin lasers being fired at the target when looked at through the platform’s targeting scope (even though Calcar's gun has only a single gatling-style rotating barrel).
- He was sold only in the European and Australasian markets during the “transitional” time between Generation 1 and Generation 2.
Generation 2
- Calcar (Trakkon, 1994)
- Accessories: Gun platform
- This release is identical to the first, except sold on a blister card instead of a box.
