Lambro Love

The Story of how an iconic 80s sportscar spawned a whole Lam-brotherhood of Autobots.

I’ve always been obsessed with the TRANSFORMERS LAMBROS, but once you look past Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, things get weirdly expensive and incredibly confusing. In this video, I’m digging into the 80s clerical errors and Diaclone roots that gave us characters like the hyper-vigilant Tigertrack, the "grandfather of car-robos" Spinout, and a pair of police-deco bots that prove you can never have too many sirens. From the amnesiac Cordon and the law-abiding Clampdown to the shadowy Deep Cover and the neon-tinged G2 Sideswipe, I’m breaking down why these repaints are more than just easy money for Hasbro—they’re a fascinating look at how a simple color swap can create an entire legacy of iconic, if slightly dysfunctional, Autobots.
