The name or term "Carrera" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Carrera (disambiguation).
Carrera is an Optimus from the Estrela portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Carrera is a member of the heroic Optimus, who fights against the evil Malignus robots with his powerful eye-lasers!

  • Carrera (Mini Vehicle, 1985)
A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Cliffjumper, Carrera transforms into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Porsche 924 Turbo. He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: blue (utilized for his package art) or white. He also has a new "Optimus" faction sigil decal on his chest/roof, as well as an all-new sticker design on the back of his head.
All of the "Optimus/Malignus" Mini Vehicle releases are considered rare, and go for a fairly high price on the secondary market, particularly the secondary color schemes. However, Carrera appears to be the least in-demand, as both colorations were also available in other releases: blue Cliffjumpers were released in Mexico (which also made their way to various European markets), while Antex released their own white Carerra.
This mold was also retooled to make Hubcap and Tap-Out.

Notes

  • The toys from the Brazilian sub-series commonly referred to as "Optimus vs. Malignus" do not have bios, but share the same names and molds as previous (factionless) Brazilian releases that used the same bios as their Hasbro counterparts, only in Portuguese. As such, it's possible that Carrera is basically Cliffjumper, if not the same character outright.
