    Ohhh... that is very nice... except for the lack of a roof-mounted spare tire, we may have our basis for Brawn right there. I wonder if there is anywhere out there where one could find out about different models and option packages for this vehicle.

    I had originally thought that Hound was a Jeep until I first say the Diaclone box that identified him as a Mitsubishi J59. I never looked into it further and only recently (um... as in last week lol) learned that US companies allowed Japanese companies to produce and rebrand their products. So is that what the J in J59 stands for?

    Well a roof rack or tire mount, I think, would be an optional accessory. If Brawn was based on something other than a stock model, it will be very difficult to find a real-life car with the exact same configuration.... Especially 30+ years after the fact where things may have been changed since it was originally purchased.

    Re:Sideswipe. It's pretty simple---look at the FRONT fender flares. See how they're almost perfectly round? That style is only found on Walter Wolf's. All others have a trapezoidal front fender flare. Not to mention the rallye racing stickers. And the colorscheme itself. It's very clear the original diaclone was modeled from Wolf's.

    The only confusion is because there's two different Countach types with the same designation----"LP500S". And 19 out of 20 Lambo books and websites will only mention one type of LP500S, ( the later actual production model) which isn't Wolf's/Sideswipe.

    BTW, Breakdown is also Wolf's.

    Holy crap, that Porshe IS Dead End. All he needs is his stripes and a Con symbol.
    Someone needs to do like Ikkstakk said and digibash these to look like the Stunticons, well except we need to find the right Lambo model (same as Sideswipe maybe?)
    I'd do the digibash myself if I had any skill at all.

    My daughters and I had the pleasure of meeting Ironhide a couple of years ago.

    He was hiding in Alaska from Bay and Sentinel's rust gun :eek:
