And the man in the back said "Everyone attack" and it turned into a ballroom blitz.

Carrera is a member of the heroic Optimus, who fight against the evil Malignus robots.

The toys from the Brazilian sub-series commonly referred to as "Optimus vs. Malignus" do not have bios, but share the same names and molds as previous (factionless) Brazilian releases that used the same bios as their Hasbro counterparts, only in Portuguese. As such, it's possible that Carrera is basically Cliffjumper, if not the same character outright.

Toys

Generation 1

• Carrera (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Cliffjumper, Carrera transforms into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Porsche 924 Turbo. He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: blue or white. He also has a new "Optimus" 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. However, Carrera appears to be the least in-demand, as both colorations were also available in other releases: blue Cliffjumpers were found in various European markets, while Antex released their own white Carerra.

This mold was also retooled to make Hubcap and Tap-Out.
