Sorry, I know it's childish, but I couldn't help myself. I spotted it in one of my local comic shops today and just had to buy it... ![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
It's a new version of the original Transformer (which I think was a Nissan 250Z) called 'Silverstreak' - now it's remodelled into a die cast Impreza WRX.
And as with the original toys, there was a special variant - I think 'Bluestreak' used to be a rare police version of the car, now's it's a WRC version called Smokescreen instead. If there are any avid collectors out there, please correct me if I'm wrong...
I have a few pics from my mob if anyone can host them, otherwise here's a general link I googled:

Cheers,

Mine was £20, I agree with Cookstar they're pretty hard to transform compared to the old ones. I think I've just reached that age...
These are actually the Japanese ones licensed from Takara, and they have a lot of detail - eg adjustable recaros, and even the steering column is rake adjustable too. All four doors, the bonnet, and boot open - I also like the fact that the intercooler doubles up as his gun!
Pretty sure there's an STi version about somewhere as well as the WRC car. However I'm a WRX owner so this is good enough for me!
