Made with clear red plastic, this is one of the "Invisibility Force" toys that was intended for release in 2004, but was held back until after the line was cancelled in 2005.
  • Speed-Bot (Racer)
Another new Deluxe mold, this was also slated for a 2004 release, but ended up never being released in the US. It did, however, make it out in the UK in 2005.
