'Moteur Retro-Friction'
This is not a final page. Due to the quantity of work required, this is a placeholder to at least provide some reference.
The Dump Truck is one of four models released as part of this bootleg offering. They're in no way related to the genuine Transfo-Robot line released in France and are instead unrelated bootlegs on low quality reprints of those cardbacks.
Where Transfo-Robot (the bootleg) shines is its reinvention of the Jeep, Liqui-Trans / Container Truck models and to a lesser degree the Dump Truck and Jet. The Jeep now includes a modified Transformers G1 Street Wise turret weapon and a poorly modified and cast G1 Targetmasters Quake face; thanks to Micah Guy for identifying this. Some Jeep figures also include an additional white gun borrowed from Transformers Headmasters Siren.
While this bootleg line does have the familiar, MC Toy styled, pullback motors, it doesn't included any diecast metal parts and the overall quality is low.
See toy line main index and history for further details.

Transfo-Robot Bootleg Unknown Manufacturer ARG 19XX*
* exact release date is unconfirmed. As the Jeep has bootlegged parts and accessories (see above) from 1988 released Transformers and combined with the overall feel of the toy plastic and cardback blisters, 1989 to early 90s is most likely
Motor Code TFB2 - See Motor Guide page for details
