Joyride (1988)
Released in the fifth year of the The Transformers toyline (fourth year in the European line), Joyride transforms into a teal and crimson Baja buggy. Joyride’s white rifle plugs into a peg hole on the roof. Plugging an Autobot Powermaster engine into the engine socket on his front end unlocks his transformation to robot mode… or you can just push in the tiny button the engine nominally pushes in. (He can fit a Decepticon engine in the socket, but they will not unlock his transformation.)
He comes with his Nebulan Powermater Partner Hotwire.
This toy was redecoed in Japan as the transtector for Ranger, and later released without changes there as a mail-away as “Ranger Joy Ride”.
