- W.A.R.S. is an Autobot Spychanger in the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
W.A.R.S.'s name stands for "Wicked Attack Recon Sportscar". Whether that means W.A.R.S. is wicked sweet is another discussion all-together.

Toys
Robots in Disguise
- WARS (Spy Changer, 2000)
- Japanese ID number: C-007
- A redeco of the Generation 2 Go-Bots Gearhead mold, WARS transforms into a Ford Thunderbird stock car. His silver windshield has heat-sensitive paint that reveals an Autobot insignia, in a method similar to the original rubsigns.
- This mold was also used to make the Generation 2 Go-Bot version of Soundwave.
- Spy Changer 6 Set (Multi-pack, 2000)
- Japanese ID number: C-011
- All six Spy Changers were not only sold as individuals in Japan, but in a six-piece gift set as well.
- WARS clear version (Spy Changer, 2000)
- An exclusive redeco of WARS in clear-red and clear-yellow plastics, this version was only available at Jusco stores in Japan, as a giveaway with purchase (of what, though, is unknown at this time).
- W.A.R.S. & Crosswise (Basic, 2001)
- Available only in a two-pack with Crosswise, the Hasbro version of W.A.R.S. replaces the heat-sensitive insignia with a normal Autobot insignia tampograph on the roof of the car. The window-paint changed to metallic blue, and adds yellow stripes to the bottom edge of the vehicle sides.
- W.A.R.S. (Spy Changer, 2002)
- All six original Spy Changers were redecoed in clear plastics (keeping their normal paint applications, though), and released on individual cards through Kay-Bee Toys chains. W.A.R.S. was decoed similarly to the Jusco except that the clear yellow was changed to clear orange.
- W.A.R.S. (Tiny Tins, 2002)
- The normal Hasbro version of W.A.R.S. was released as part of the first assortment of Tiny Tins Transformers, coming with a carrying tin.
- Super WARS (Spy Changer, 2003)
- Long after the Robots in Disguise line ended in Japan, Takara put out individually-boxed redecoes of the Spy Changers. WARS was decoed grey and dark blue.
- In each case of twelve Super Spy changers, two were all-clear-plastic versions (but keeping their paint applications). All six Spy Changers had a clear variant.
- W.A.R.S. (Spy Changer, 2003)
- A second round of Kay-Bee-exclusive Spy Changers was released on individual cards. This time around, he was done in clear-purple and clear-orange. This toy was re-released unmodified in a new packaging as Universe Camshaft.
Trivia
- The WARS letters on the side of W.A.R.S.' vehicle mode is in the same font as the Beast Wars franchise logo.
