    This triple-changing robot has a manufacturing stamp of Tomy Japan. No year, but it was produced in the mid-80s. Can anybody identify it?

    The weird style of the robot head looks particularly familiar. Wasn't the other one identified a tank of some kind? Or maybe my view of it is skewed because the vehicle mode is being viewed from above.

    But there was someone that identified this.

    There was a tank one, and I think that was the one identified...

    The vehicle mode is supposed to be a spaceship.

    Tomy Tri-bots. Soon as I saw it had three modes, there it was, in my brain :)

    Lies!

    You can't step into a thread being the big expert after someone else already figures out the answer. Cheater. :tongue:
