Sedan (Robocar)
From Transformers Wiki
The name or term "Sedan" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sedan (disambiguation). |
- Sedan is (presumably) an Autobot Mini Vehicle from the Estrela portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sedan isn't much of a speedster or a fighter. But as the team's strategist, his ability to plan, coordinate his allies' movements and almost predict what his enemy will do is what makes him a force to be reckoned with. He's pretty cold and calculating, which is off-putting, but his track record is unassailable.
“ | Being in the right place at the right time - this is the key to victory. | ” |

Transformers
- A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Bumper, Transformers Sedan transforms into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Mazda Familia 1500XG compact "family car".
- He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: white-and-black (used for his package art) or blue-and-black. Interestingly, as with other earlier Estrela Microcars, his chest sticker is identical to the original Micro Change version of his mold rather than featuring any sort of insignia.
- Where the other five Robocars use the same package art and bios as their Hasbro counterparts, Sedan has all-new art and bio information, as "Bumper" lacked both, only appearing on Cliffjumper cards. This has led fans to speculate that the mold was originally meant to see release in other Transformers markets, but there's been no further evidence that this was the case. The "character" goes completely unmentioned in any of Bob Budiansky's development notes, plus bespoke artwork was produced for other toys in the Estrela line: the Eletrix and Bat-Robô, which have no Hasbro counterparts (in fact, both sets of those toys were released in the US by Hasbro competitors).

World's Smallest Cold-Blooded Strategist
- Jogo dos Transformers (1985)
- A tiny generic blue car representing Sedan was included as a pawn in Estrela's Jogo dos Transformers board game. He is not directly named, simply being called the "carrinho azul" (little blue car) in the game's instructions, but his identity is revealed as a pair of cards featuring art of his original toy in vehicle mode are also included. He comes with a small sticker that's placed on the bottom of the car representing his robot mode, thus allowing him to roughly "transform" by being placed vertically - a little bit like what Robot Powered Machines would do about a pair of decades later.
- This same car was recolored to represent Volks (AKA Bumblebee), Camaro (AKA Windcharger), and Carrera (AKA Cliffjumper) in the same board game.
Notes
- It's possible that Robocar Sedan is the same character as the Optimus-faction Sedan as the latter has no bio whatsoever.
