The Greek Connection

European-made Minibots, or Mini-Vehicles as they also go by. Unique in their very own way. Color-, packaging-, and manufacturing-wise. A special niche amongst variant collectors and Minibot collectors in particular.

I am talking about the Made in France Ceji Minibots and the Greek El Greco releases. Besides the obvious color differences and the absence of a rubsign on the El Greco ones, at first glance, they look very similar. But are they identical? In other words, did they come from the same factory injection mold?

Unfortunately the last and final part about the French Transformers Fan Club series. But let’s go out with a bang!

This is one of the more memorable scenes of the 1986 movie. Megatron got upgraded into Galvatron. A huge moment in Transformers history.
