Toys

The Malignus faction came from Estrela's Brazilian version of the Generation 1 toyline, along with the Optimus faction. The toys were redecos of various Mini-Bots:

• Camaro (redeco of Windcharger)
• Jipe (redeco of Brawn)
• Pick-Up (redeco of Gears)

While Estrela also released Turbo, he was not identified as a Malignus at the time, but in later fiction.
