Scorponok - European Headmaster Base

In my quest to trace down and document all mainland European multi-lingual Transformers G1 releases, I stumbled upon an instruction booklet I had never seen before.

A bilingual French/Dutch instructions booklet from Scorponok!

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.

This article is about two different series of European Minibot releases that seem to be very related to each other. 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?
