Diaclone No. 1 Countach LP500S (Pre-Transformers Sunstreaker)

This is the Takara Japanese Diaclone No. 1 Countach LP500S from 1982, a true pre-Transformers release and the original mold that would later become Sunstreaker. Produced during the Diaclone era before Hasbro’s Transformers line existed, this piece represents an important part of toy history. Finished in its original red colorway, this version stands out as one of the earliest releases tied to what would become one of the most recognizable Autobots. The set includes the Countach vehicle, driver figure, accessories, and paperwork as shown. The car retains strong color and display presence, with expected signs of age and use. The box is included and shows wear consistent with vintage Japanese packaging from this era. These early Diaclone car robots have become increasingly difficult to find, especially with original packaging and components. Collector demand continues to grow as more enthusiasts look to trace the origins of the Transformers line back to its roots. A great opportunity to own a foundational piece of Transformers history and one of the standout releases from the Diaclone Car Robot Series.
