Shortpacked!: Not Carl Sagan’s Cosmos
Actually Wheeljack’s paintjob wasn’t based on one specific car, but the Alitalia livery used by all racing Lancias in the 70s, as Wheeljack’s vehicle mode was a Lancia Stratos.
So the real issue is why he turns into a rally car that hadn’t been made in 10 years at that point, from a company with a reputation for all their cars basically being made of rust, that, yes, was never sold in North America.
Only two of Wheeljack’s car were ever BUILT, dude. Twoooo. All the others you’re talking about are a different body shell.
