Japan
While the Turbomaster molds were released in Japan, their names and personalities were changed. As part of Operation Combination, the last of the Japanese series of the original Transformers continuity, the four smaller Turbomasters—Boss, Hurricane, Flash, and Scorch—who were renamed Mach Road, Checker Road, Spin Road, and Fire Road—formed the Autobot elite "Road Corps", who each had a personal rival in the Decepticon's "Jet Corps" (based upon the Turbomasters' rivals the Predators).
The two larger Turbomasters toys—Thunder Clash and Rotorstorm—did not feature in Operation Combination, the European versions were imported and sold with Japanese language stickers placed on them.

Famous quotes containing the word japan:
“I do not know that the United States can save civilization but at least by our example we can make people think and give them the opportunity of saving themselves. The trouble is that the people of Germany, Italy and Japan are not given the privilege of thinking.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
