Mach Five Racing Prime is an Autobot from the Transformers GT portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Mach Five Racing Prime (マッハ号レーシングプライム Mahha-gō Rēshingu Puraimu) does not actually transform into the Mach Five, but into Team Mach's Nissan GT-R racing car.

Notes

[edit]
  • Mach Five Racing Prime was created as part of the Transformers GT collaboration between TakaraTomy and Team Mach, a Super GT racing team with a Mach GoGoGo (dubbed into English as Speed Racer) theme. An actor cosplaying as him appeared at several events in 2014, including Super GT pit walks and the Tokyo Toy Show.
  • His design is based on the Legends Class Bluestreak toy (lacking the lightbar of the Prowl version) in the colors of Team Mach's Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3. The coloration of his head makes him look a lot like Smokescreen.
  • The character apparently went unnamed during his event appearances, but the Transformers Legends comic nicknamed him "Mach Five Racing Prime" after the Mach GoGoGo vehicle that inspired the Nissan GT-R's color scheme.
