Toys
Generation 1
- Jipe (Mini Vehicle, 1985)
- A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Brawn, Jipe transforms into a (somewhat altered) Toyota Land Cruiser. He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: blue with light gray robot parts, and black with purple robot parts. 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 black/purple Jipe goes for more than the blue/gray.
