Title:
Technobot Lightspeed
Description:
• G126
• Lightspeed (Technobot, 1987)
• Team ID number: TK4
• Takara ID number: C-89
• Accessories: ”Light-burst gun”, 2 ”Infra-red Missile Launchers”
The Transformers Lightspeed transforms into a sleek Cybertronic car. He comes with a small handgun and a pair of missiles; the missiles can attach to his car mode rear wheel hubs. They can also stay there in robot mode if you really like, where they hang under his arms.
Being a ”Scramble City”-style combiner, he can form an arm or leg to any combination of compatible toys, but his nominal placement is as the right leg of Computron. When used in his usual configuration, he faces backwards, as his feet have don’t give enough clearance to attach Computron’s footplate properly if facing forward. He and Nosecone are two of the very few Scramble City limbs to face backwards in their leg modes.
Extra care needs to be taken with the decals on his ”doors”, as they are VERY easily scraped off by swinging his arms down in robot and limb modes thanks to the lack of space between the arms and main body.
Later-run releases of this toy (mostly in 1988) filled in the indent, as rubsigns were phased out in 1988 (owing mostly to the deaths of most competitors in the reconfigurable robots toy arena). There is also a packaging variant for all four small Technobots, which included a random bonus Autobot ”Decoy” mini-figurine.
