• X-Car (Spy Changer, 2000)
  • Japanese ID number: C-008
  • Accessories: Gun

A redeco of the Generation 2 Go-Bots High Beam mold. He features through-axle construction, allowing for super-speedy racing on smooth surfaces, and his car mode is compatible with many tracks and playsets from Hot Wheels and Matchbox. His black 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 versions of Bumblebee and BotCon-exclusive Nightracer.

  • Japanese ID number: C-011
  • Accessories: Gun

All six Spy Changers were not only sold as individuals in Japan, but in a six-piece gift set as well.

• X-Car clear version (Spy Changer, 2000)
  • Accessories: Gun

An exclusive redeco of X-Car in transparent blue and red plastics, this version was only available from Jusco stores in Japan as a direct-mail premium to members of their "Peppy Kids Republic" (元気キッズ共和国, Genki Kidzu Kyōwakoku), a sort of subsidiary/offshoot for selling baby goods and children's clothing. Since membership was open only to kids 12 and under and this version was shipped blind-packed, getting the entire set of six was extremely difficult.

Available only in a two-pack with W.A.R.S., the Hasbro version of Crosswise. replaces the heat-sensitive insignia with a normal Autobot insignia tampograph on the roof of the car. He also features three extra red stripes: one on his spoiler and two underneath the doors.
