First Transformers

• Racer-kun (1986, 1987, 1993)
  • Japanese ID number: C-003

Racer-kun transforms from a Le Mans-style race car into a tall, oddly proportioned robot. He has a (faceless) driver's helmet in his tummy that bobs up and down when his vehicle mode is rolled on a flat surface.

Like all three First Transformers toys, Racer-kun was first released in the United States in 1986 just as the nameless 'Race Car' but received the moniker 'Racer-kun' when released in Japan the following year. Racer-kun was again released in 1993 with new minor paint operations and stickers.
