Bot a Day: Daily Drawings

The last of the Omnibot trio available only through mail-order in 1985 is Camshaft. He turns into a Mazda RX-7 Series 2, a car ironically that does not have a camshaft. This drawing is from 2017.

Downshift is the second of the three Omnibots. This figure was available via mail order in 1985, He does not come with a sword at all. Just fell like giving him one while this drawing came together. It happens. He turns into a Toyota Celica.

In 1985, a trio of Omnibots was available only through mail order -- you'd collect proofs of purchase on the back of Transformers packaging ("Robot Points") and order exclusives from a pack-in catalog available in boxed toys that year. Overdrive turns into a red Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer sports car.
