I've had this sitting around my toy office for quite sometime now and never really knew much about it. I can't even remember where I got it. All I know is that it's similiar to my BWII lion Eggbot keychain. I've seen pics of the original Takara release (Microchange?), but I can't find any markings on the one I have.
It's in good shape, no chrome flaking and fairly tight joints. I stuck it up on eBay last night, but I'd like to add to the item description if someone can help me out. Thanks...

Am I the only one that sees a resemblance between the Meteor robo guy in the picture on the site and Unicron's Deadend Minicon? Also I wish I still had my Transformer watch. And Takara PLEASE reissue Browning!!!

He's a little loose and he doesn't have the guns, but the chrome is in remarkably good shape considering he's probably been tossing around in various boxes loose for 20-odd years. Makes you wonder why the hell chrome on modern toys chips so damn easy.
He makes a nice snack for Unicron. | |

Even if it's the BWII Re-issues. I can never find those. Point me out to the auction on the lion, might be interested in that as well.
