Transformers: Generation 1
The Throttlebots, a sub-group of the Autobots, consist of six toys that could transform between a car and a robot. As a special gimmick, they feature a pullback motor.
The Throttlebot toys had limited poseability and simple transformations. Not even the arms move. To transform the car to a robot, what is needed is to lift the frame of the car to an upright position, flip out the side panels to reveal the arms and hands, flip back the rear of the car body to reveal heads, and optionally push the chassis in.
The Throttlebots include six toys:
- Chase - A restless spirit who is always on the go. Voiced by Danny Mann.
- Goldbug - A reincarnation of Bumblebee. Voiced by Dan Gilvezan.
- Freeway - A practical joker. Voiced by Danny Mann.
- Rollbar - An adventurer who likes driving off-road; known more for his use of corny phrases and slogans. Voiced by Dan Gilvezan.
- Searchlight - A paranoid who wants to always watch what's going on. Voiced by Steve Bulen.
- Wideload - A large dump truck obsessed with keeping himself clean. Voiced by Corey Burton.
The Throttlebots were among the first Transformers released in 1987 and featured pull-back motors that worked in both car and robot modes.
