And Goldbug is not the same mold as Bumblebee - it's the same character, but with a new mold and a new name and a new paint job, and a slight hint of similarity between appearances.

errm Rattrap perhaps - spring loaded transformations are about as quick as the ones on the shows(bar RID where the did spend quite amountof time transforming in the time stop anime fashion)
Just thinking about them now and im struggling to remember who the other throttlebots were -i think there was runabout and runamuck, searchlight, chase and goldbug. I may be completly wrong on some of these

Like the other Classic Pretenders though, his shell just sort of disappeared after a while.
In the comics, IIRC, the Throttlebots and Battlechargers were supposed to transform faster than other TFs. Or am I imagining that?
