Estrela has been rather cheap with their Transformers production. I guess back in 1984 and being in Brazil, and only with Mini-Cars, Eletrix seemed quite neat! The abaility to be remotre controlled and able to move you car forward and transform him with a touch of the button is quite cool! Only three cars were produced and are the easiest to locate of Brazilian Transformers.
These cars were original produced in Japan by a compnay called Yonezwa, and then were brought out in North American and Europe from a small toy company. Since then knock offs have also appeared since in the mid to late 80's. Pictured below is a boxed Japanese piece. You can also find a North American Knock-Off here, which also pictures the 4th Eletrix that was not produed. Click here for another knock-off loose.
