Robots in Disguise[]
- Eagle Killer (Spy Changer, 2000)
- Japanese ID number: C-006
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- A redeco of the Generation 2 Go-Bots Firecracker, R.E.V. transforms into a Lamborghini Diablo. He features through-axle construction, allowing for super-speedy racing on smooth surfaces, and his car mode is compatible with many tracks and playsets from Hot Wheels and Matchbox. His black windshield has heat-sensitive paint that reveals an Autobot insignia, in a method similar to the original rubsigns.
- This mold was also used to make Go-Bot Sideswipe and Go-Bot Optimus Prime.
- Spychangers DX6 (Giftset, 2000)
- Japanese ID number: C-011
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- Eagle Killer was also available in a gift set with the other five Spy Changers Artfire, Counter Arrow, Ox, Wars, and X-Car.
- Eagle Killer clear version (Spy Changer, 2000)
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- An exclusive redeco of Eagle Killer in transparent bright-yellow and red plastics, this version was only available from Jusco stores in Japan as a direct-mail premium to members of their "Peppy Kids Republic" (元気キッズ共和国, Genki Kidzu Kyōwakoku), a sort of subsidiary/offshoot for selling baby goods and children's clothing. Since membership was open only to kids 12 and under and this version was shipped blind-packed, getting the entire set of six was extremely difficult.
- Hot Shot & R.E.V. (Basic, 2002)
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- Available only in a two-pack with Hot Shot, the Hasbro version of R.E.V. replaces the heat-sensitive insignia with a normal Autobot insignia tampograph on the roof of the car. The rear of the car also features an orange paint wash, which really brings out the detail of the vehicle mode sculpt.
- R.E.V. (Spy Changer, 2002)
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- All six original Spy Changers were redecoed in clear-plastic versions of their normal colors (keeping their normal paint applications, though), and released on individual cards through Kay-Bee Toys chains.
- R.E.V. (Tiny Tins, 2002)
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- The normal Hasbro version of R.E.V. was released as part of the first assortment of Tiny Tins Transformers, coming with a carrying tin. As far as can be told, there are no differences between the Tiny Tins and 2-pack versions.
- Super Eagle Killer (Spy Changer, 2003)
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- Long after the Car Robots line ended in Japan, Takara put out individually-boxed "Super mode" redecoes of the Spy Changers. Eagle Killer was redone with dark stony-blue car parts, with white and red robot parts.
- In each case of twelve Super Spy changers, two were randomly packed, all-colorless-clear-plastic versions (but keeping their paint applications). All six Spy Changers had a clear variant.
- R.E.V. (Spy Changer, 2003)
- Accessories: Cyber Blaster
- A second round of clear-plastic Kay-Bee-exclusive Spy Changers was released on individual cards. This time around, R.E.V.'s car mode was slightly deeper orange, but he got dark blue and green robot parts.
Trivia[]
- "R.E.V." is also a name of a short-lived Playmates Toys toyline in the late 2000's similar to Transformers, but the parts are more changeable. R.E.V.'s stands foe Radically Engineered Vehicles.
