Downshift is a Powerlinx Deluxe Autobot released in the 4th quarter of 2004.
Downshift's alternate mode is a white sports car (not based on any production car) with red and green stripes evoking generation one Wheeljack. The car features opening gullwing doors and transparent red front and side glass. The back "window" is an opaque green with a louvered texture. The front end treatment is in a knife edge style like current Cadillac automobiles.

In robot mode Downshift is very well armed. In addition to his hand held weapons, a double barrel "shotgun" and a springloaded "laser missle", he has two guns on either shoulder.
Packaging is standard red card Energon Bubble. On the card's reverse is a photo of Downshift in both robot and sports car modes.
