Does anyone know if the Transformer "Side swipe" was ever produced in Die cast
Metal around 1 to 24 scale size? And if so, where to obtain one from?

It can be a re-issue of the 1980's transformer but must have the following features:
- Die-cast metal exterior panels
- A red Lamborghini
- Around 1 to 24 scale in size (roughly 200mm long by 90mm wide I think)

Any info would be greatly appreciated as I had mine stolen when I was a kid:(

Did you try "EBAY"? I know they have a lot of transformers for sale

I have since discovered that it was in fact my sense of scale
As a very little kid that had misguided my perception of the
Size of this toy. The Side Swipe Transformer of the 1980's
Was only ever produced in one size.

Hi.. I am looking for a die-cast Optimus Prime in the 1980's. I used to own one but lost it while moving. Shame on me. Checked on eBay as well as many other websites but can not find anything. Any suggestions appreciate.
