The vehicles in your first post are Autobot Turbomaster Hurricane and Decepticon Predator Falcon. They were only released in Europe and Japan as part of the G1/G2 transitional phase, which we haven't archived yet.

As for the connector cars, I'm stumped. Ask Jose. He's our scale miniatures car guy.

Jose! What are these things?

The cars are Hasbro Road Hogs. I don't remember them being popular here, but I suppose the connectors allow to recreate rush hours or the alike. :)

I knew you would know 8)
I'd certainly hate to sit in rush hour idling the 5.0 l v12 in that Countach! Imagine what it would do to your clutch, too...

Countachs are meant to be in Autobahnen! It's almost an offense for such cars to be stuck in traffic...
