Generation 1
The Throttlebots were first released in 1987, effectively supplanting the Mini Vehicle assortment. Some versions also came with free Decoys; in fact, the Throttlebots are the only toys that could have the red Decepticon Decoys.
They were later re-released in European markets in the early Nineties as part of the "Classics" assortment. In this release, everyone but Wide Load was retooled to remove their rubsign indent, the heat-sensitive decal proper replaced with a glossy-paper faction sigil. Wide Load kept his indent, but like the others, had his rubsign replaced.
