• Pick-Up (Malignus, 1985)

The wine and maroon deco of Pick-Up was repurposed as Shattered Glass Gears.

A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Gears, Pick-Up transforms into a pickup truck of unidentified (probably made-up) model. He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: light green with purple robot parts, and dark "wine" with maroon. He also has a new "Malignus" faction sigil decal in robot mode.

All of the "Optimus/Malignus" Mini Vehicle releases are considered fairly rare, and go for a fairly high price on the secondary market, particularly the secondary color schemes; in this instance, the wine/maroon Pick-Up goes for more than the green/purple.

This mold was also used to make Small Foot, and retooled to make Swerve. The green/purple deco of this figure also inspired the Shattered Glass incarnation of Swerve.

Notes

• Gears was not visually depicted in Fun Publications' stories, but Jesse Wittenrich later clarified his design intent on Twitter.
