A Mini-Spy once blithely drove into Autobot Headquarters, and began messing around with Teletraan-1. Huffer and Cliffjumper rubbed the little robot's rub sign, revealing that he was a Decepticon. The spy fled, with the two Autobots in pursuit. ^[1]

[edit] Toys

• Mini-Spy (1985)

Mini-Spy toys came packaged with Mini Vehicles in early 1985. Mini-Spies were the first toys to feature rubsigns, and the only way to determine whether a given Mini-spy toy was an Autobot or Decepticon was by rubbing the rubsign.

There were four different Mini-spy molds, known by the unofficial names 4WD Type, Buggy Type, FX-1 Type, and Porsche Type, and each was available in blue, white and yellow variations, for a total of 12 different toys.

The pre-Transformer versions of the Mini-spies were part of a toyline called Mecha Warriors, and came in blue and red variations. [1]

[edit] Trivia

• The FX-1 type is commonly called Mazda Type by fans (as seen in the picture above), in spite of being based on an old Toyota concept car, right down to the FX-1 marking on the front of the car.
