Fiction
G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
When Cobra unearthed a number of deactivated Transformers, they reprogrammed them and gave them new vehicle modes. The Autobot twins Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were modified into Stingers, and used these vehicle modes during the attack on the SPS Research Facility. Unfortunately for Cobra, their tough armored vehicles were easily rammed aside by a rally car. G.I.
