HEEEEEEEEE-PAAAAAAAY!

Note: The toys from the Brazilian sub-series commonly referred to as "Optimus vs. Malignus" do not have bios, but share the same names and molds as previous (factionless) Brazilian releases that used the same bios as their Hasbro counterparts, only in Portugese. As such, it's possible that Jipe is basically "evil Brawn". This also raises the possibility that the "good/evil" designations are retroactive for the Brazilian toys....

Generation One[]
- Jipe (Mini Vehicle, 1985)
- A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Brawn, Jipe transforms into a (somewhat altered) Toyota Land Cruiser. He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: blue with light gray robot parts, and black with purple robot parts. He also has a new "Malignus" faction sigil decal in robot mode.
- All of the "Optimus/Malignus" Mini Vehicle releases are considered fairly rare, and go for a fairly high price on the secondary market, particularly the secondary color schemes; in this instance, the black/purple Jipe goes for more than the blue/gray.
