bragging rights (so wrong)
Finally i register and suddenly i forget the edits i signed in to make. Well, in the meantime, i shall continue with my eternal quest to be even more of an egomaniac than Sunstreaker by taking credit for posts i made while anonymous. (Anonymity is your name; silence, your native tongue.) Also, i'm secretly (SECRETLY) hoping that some of my unanswered questions will attract more attention now that i'm less in need of Help:Nameless
The following, in no particular order, are at least partly my fault:

...Wow. i'd forgotten i'd posted some of these things... and neglected to thank people who answered me! Fortunately, they can't get mad at me because i'm protected by my anonymity--
Oh.
Let me get back to you.
yellow and red racecars, most of them named Mirage
- Tonka GoBot Slicks, G2 Go-Bot Mirage, Mirage (BM), Mirage GT, and Mirage (Armada) all turn into yellow-and-black or yellow-and-gray racecars. Slapdash (G1) and Drag Strip (G1) are also yellow racecars, and the Universe version of G1 Drag Strip is a yellow redeco of the Classics version of G1 Mirage.
- Mirage (Movie) was red, an alternate color scheme also used by Diaclone pre-Mirage, and early design art depicted Mirage (BM) as a bright red car with blue markings.
pics or it didn't happen
TF products i know exist but can't prove:
Rock 'Em Sock 'Em style robots based on character models of Optimus Prime (G1) and Megatron (G1). i think each robot also had a hole in the top of his head, which at the time of purchase contained the stick of a lollipop.
Squishers or Squish'ems or something like that; i had trouble reading the font on the packaging and didn't want to buy them, but i think they're like 12-packs of stress balls sculpted to resemble characters (in robot mode) from Transformers: Prime (franchise). Also available, a pack of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Squishers/Squish'ems/whatever. Both packs had the Hasbro logo on them.
Not TFs, but Hasbro has made action figures based on Iron Man (as well as Spider-Man, if i remember correctly, and maybe some other Marvel superheroes) with engineering/gimmicks VERY similar to G1 Jumpstarters. In fact, the Jumpstarter article says [QUOTE] Hasbro themselves made use of the concept again with the "Flip and Attack" toys released as part of the toy line accompanying the 2012 Avengers movie. Despite the opportunity, they're not cross-branded as part of the Transformers: Crossovers franchise, however the packaging does say "With TRANSFORMERS technology" on the side insert, complete with Transformers logo. [/QUOTE] However, the first time i saw these toys, i specifically looked for any reference to Transformers on the packaging, and failed to find the word anywhere... but i do seem to recall that the package referred to the toys as "Jump-starters" or "Jump Starters" or something like that. i also saw figures capable of transforming from vehicles (jets, i think) to Iron Man/War Machine in non-Jumpstarter fashion--maybe similar to G2 Power Masters? but i couldn't tell just from the unopened packages in the store. These Hasbro/Marvel figures likewise opted not to use the Transformers: Crossovers branding.
