Now that I think about it, the Gobot cat, that has to be one of the dumbest transformations of a vehicle to robot, EVER, I mean it kind of looks like a car verison of a Macross jet robo!
It's pretty much the standard Super Gobot car transformation. Zeemon, Bugbite, Baron Von Joy, etc. All of them used it.
@Superomegaprime : When the first DX Machine Robo (what became the Super Gobots) figure came out, it was the "Psychoroid", a futuristic car that appeared in one or two episodes of the anime Space Adventure Cobra. I believe the figure was envisioned more as a piloted mecha rather than an independent robot character. This can easily be seen by the red and chrome driver figures in the cockpit, representing Cobra (the red one) and Lady Armoroid (the chrome one) piloting the robot (which is why the 2 drivers seem like mis-matched colors, when in reality its an intentional color choice). So, you're not that far off, much like a Macross Valkyrie, a lot of the early DX Machine Robo figures utilized that concept of maintaining a place for the drivers between modes, and the radio based on those figures does the same. Not sure I'd call it a dumb transformation, if I were driving a transforming car, I would hope it would do something similar for the passenger compartment...
I got Psycho from my cousins for Christmas when I was growing up. I knew the Super Gobots all used a really similar transformation scheme, but I didn't realize it was the one that set the pattern for the others.
(And as to maintaining a space for passengers and drivers, someone needs to throw in a gif of Miko getting stuck somewhere inside when Bulkhead transformed.)

Allspark wouldn't feel like home anymore without these silly photocomics. Please never stop.

Japan has definitely had an influence. What that influence has been is debatable.
I 100% love that they finally just went ahead and gave a trailer to a jet. Five stars. No notes.
This design really does nothing for me.
"Hold my energon."
And what if he stole that trailer from Rodimus Prime?
Gotta steal a take from our Discord server (which more of you should join!) and say that this looks like it was designed to be Rodimus Prime and changed to Optimus at the last minute.
If this was like half that at arond Commander prices, this would probably be an easy buy.
