Transformers: Car Robot

Original Super IndyHeat
Jusco Exclusive

Takara released yet another re-colored Transformer as part of the Jusco Campaign item with the purchase of JRX on the 10th of August, 2000.  This exclusive is offered from the 10th through the 20th of August and of course I had to get one.  I brought my little clipping from Figure King magazine since the clerks were a little clueless about this "...purchase JRX, get exclusive figure" idea.  It was a good thing that the clerk who helped me out with the SpyChangers was called into the picture.  As soon as she saw me, she went right to the "secret drawer" where a brown bag with these exclusives were hiding.   That's when she also told me that the exclusive SpyChangers were no longer available.  I guess they gave them out early on the 10th and I had to work until 7pm so I missed out on this deal.

Anyhow, the other exclusive is Super WreckerHook is released with the purchase of BuildKing at participating Daiei shopping centers.  Unfortunately my local Daiei is a non-participant and there aren't any others in the area so I'm out of luck there.  I would be nice to have them both, but I couldn't be so lucky.

As you can see through the baggy, Super IndyHeat has a clear-blue and white color scheme.  The rims are chrome vice chrome-blue with the original IndyHeat.  The number "20" in imprinted on the hood in orange paint and the tailfin has the "2000 EXCLUSIVE" identifier painted white.   There is also a clear-orange piece as Indy's seat.  The instruction sheet is imprinted on the back of the baggy and also states "Original Super IndyHeat".   This is a nice addition to my collection and the clear plastic colors are always cool.  I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Super WreckerHook to come knocking at my door!
