More Car Robots Images and Sketches from Hisashi Yuki

I wouldn't call that X-Brawn a variant per se. Rather, it proves the point that the whole car shell is clear plastic, including the front and the hood. The retail version had it painted over all over.

The thing is regular X-Brawn/Wildride didn't have a gold chrome engine, it was silver(-ish). I think this was a test concept on how the figure would look with a visible engine through the hood. This probably gave way to the "super" figure having a gold engine and the exclusive clear variant that Takara sold at events.

I just sold my set off very recently.

Not to be confused with the actual translucent version of the figure:

This looks really cool. I wish the toy looked more like this
